Overall Satisfaction with Spiceworks
Within our organization, Spiceworks is being implemented as a ticketing and inventory solution for the helpdesk team. It has been instrumental in providing my team with the tools required to quantify our achievements, simplify our job, and give us a level of transparency that our branch managers appreciate. The ability to generate monthly and quarterly reports and show our productivity levels is definitely a tremendous asset, in addition to having the ability to quantify our daily/weekly workload.
- Allows my team to quantify their daily workload and predict heightened workload based on trends.
- Allows me to provide my employer with solid tangible data when it comes to proposals, or requests for additional budget/head count.
- Provides a simpler means to inventory our hardware.
- Better ticketing views. I would like to see nested ticket attributes and categories.
- SpiceWorks as a non web-based app would be nice to have.
- More bandwidth, network, and hardware monitoring features would be a big plus.
- Faster helpdesk turn-around.
- More efficient inventory management.
- Transparency.
At first I was drawn to the fact that this was a free tool, but in time I began exploring functions that I had not originally considered useful or critical. Coming for a diverse background, I have used a number of ticketing tools, but Spiceworks covers all your basics well, as well as providing the end user with plug ins to expand it's functionality to an impressive extent.
