Version: Spiceworks Desktop 0.8.3616 beta
"Comprable to big name asset management/inventory solutions"
Pros: While designed for "small LANs," SpiceWorks has performed considerably well in my disparate, 250+ workstation environment. I grabbed this tool after reading about it in Network World magazine and have been pleased ever since. This is the first free product that does enterprise class reporting I have used. The user interface is clean and well organized. The canned reports will do most of what you need, while it still has the ability to create customized reports. The method of updating SpiceWorks is painless. Just the occasional restarting of the app is all it takes. It is in beta atm, so new features are being added almost weekly.
Cons: Becuase many of our computers are home built by a previous employee, UIDs that SpiceWorks uses to identify machines often overlap causing errors. This is more of a "lack of standardized equipment" issue within my company than programming oversight on SpiceWorks part. SpiceWorks has put out a fix for this problem, but I have yet to see if it solves this or not.
