SPICEWORKS is Great for Hardware Asset Management
Overall Satisfaction with Spiceworks
Spiceworks is a great tool to use for everyday network management. It can scan network for devices and gives great detail on hardware/software. I use this tool daily to check for any unwanted software users may have installed or to check the health of a machine in question. I would recommend Spiceworks to anyone who doesn't already have this in place. It is very easy to set up and very easy to manage.
Pros
- New hardware added to the network it alerts me
- New software added to any machine it alerts me
- Any printer issues or even if a printer needs toner it will alert me
Cons
- When scanning a network for new machines it rescans each device. I wish it would know to skip and move to next item and only scan new items.
- I use it daily and believe it cuts out so much overhead of keeping paper trails of hardware assets
Spiceworks is FREE and very very powerful
