"Phenomenal inventory tracking software"

5/5

What do you like best about Snipe-IT?

It's incredibly simple to set up (from a Linux admin perspective) and it works incredibly well for tracking, while it's very customizable. Adding pictures of items and having the ability to assign items to either locations or people (with automated emails, nevertheless!) is really genuinely awesome. Plus, the data is never held hostage and is incredibly simple to export into a CSV format, which is commonly used in the industry.

Not to mention the price for self-hosted with self-support? It's FREE. And honestly, that is a massive massive reason why I went with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snipe-IT?

There's only some minor things I'm not a fan of. For example I'm not sure where I would change the default search field from Asset tag. Also changing the email configuration requires digging through configuration files which isn't all that great for people that might not be as deeply involved into Linux Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Snipe-IT:

It's a free software and definitely worth giving a shot if you have unused VM resources. Plus it has a lot of integrations and customizability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snipe-IT solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem I'm solving is lack of inventory management within a department. It cuts down on time and trying to work through the master inventory system that our head company provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Finally moved from excel!"

5/5

What do you like best about Snipe-IT?

When I started at the firm, we were using an excel spreadsheet for asset management. Obviously this had several issues. 1. hard to maintain, 2. not interactive. 3. no integration. SnipeIT solved this all for us. WE connect it with our internal Active directory and can easily check in and out assets to users and locations. It is also easy to import and maintain, it took only a few hours to get up and running. We also love that we can self host in AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snipe-IT?

The biggest issue we have is that Snipe does not support SAML or any real SSO authentication. This seems to me to be a big missing feature. While Snipe does offer built in two factor authentication, we prefer to keep all of our services behind our OneLogin SSO portal. Which is currently not available with Snipe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Snipe-IT:

I think Snipe is a great, open source and self host-able inventory system. We use a docker install and keep it running in amazon web services. It works great for us. We tie our Active Directory to it as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snipe-IT solving and how is that benefiting you?

Snipe allows us to easily manage our assets and have a two-factor protected system that can be accessed anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, functional, full of features and easy to set up"

5/5

What do you like best about Snipe-IT?

Snipe-IT was very easy to set up with only basic docker understanding. The setup documentation and troubleshooting tips are very helpful and detailed. I had the whole thing up and running in a couple hours, imported everything from our old asset management system by the end of the day.

The app itself does not require many resources. I run it on a docker host that hosts a few other things, and snipe-it uses less than 500MB of ram, mysql included.

The developers are very responsive on Github and help with any issues that pop up quickly and are very open to adding requested features. I also like that paid support is available if I so choose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Snipe-IT?

The import process is very clunky and hard to figure out. I struggled quite a bit getting all the information into a csv and formatted correctly. Once I got that done, it did import, but the process was not very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Snipe-IT:

Make sure it meets all your needs. This is a manual inventory application, not agent based. Meaning you are responsible for the quality of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Snipe-IT solving and how is that benefiting you?

Able to keep much better track of our expensive asset items, as well as keep track of less expensive items like adapters. We were not previously tracking these items and now that we are, I feel we are able to spend less and account for missing items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
