Seeing as this is free software, little goes into the thought of whether or not it's worth the money. As long as you load it on a decent server and keep it maintained, Spiceworks does the rest for you. If you have no other system in place, this is a great solution for help desk and inventory. It also has many plugins available and great community support.

As previously stated, you can't beat free. Especially when a product works this good. We have never had an issue with it going down. There is also a strong community of Spiceworks fanatics who are always willing to help! Also had mobile apps to maintain your business on the go. No complaints, would recommend to any friend or business!
