Spiceworks is a comprehensive network monitoring tool that can make your daily tasks in the IT department a lot easier.
With no complicated set-up needed and no special hardware requirements either, you can have Spiceworks up and running on your browser in less than 10 minutes. The program features a nicely designed, user-friendly interface that makes it a pleasure to use.
Spiceworks covers pretty much every area in IT work: from performing an automated network inventory, to running an IT Help Desk service and solve network issues, you have everything you need to manage network installations at your fingertips.
Among the utilities you find in Spiceworks, you’ll see tools to map networks, create reports, troubleshoot network issues, monitor the network for any potential problems, keep an eye on Exchange and SQL servers, and even track disk space, software installs and printer toner levels.
The only complaint about Spiceworks, if any, is the amount of tools, options and elements you need to get familiar with during the first few minutes of use. It may feel a bit overwhelming, especially if you’ve never used a similar tool before.
The best thing about Spiceworks is that if you get stuck at some point, not only can you check the program’s extensive documentation, but also get help from a large community of Spiceworks users – IT pros like you that are just a click away.
Spiceworks is an excellent, comprehensive web-based tool for professional network managers.
