Spiceworks Inventory Reviews & Product Details

The system details on the scans are impressive and I like how it checks warranty information. Makes asset tracking and replacement a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The scanning process takes forever... but at least it is pretty thorough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spiceworks Inventory is the best free tool I have ever used. It has so many useful features and gathers all of the hardware and software inventory for every device on my network and gives me the ability run reports from that data. If you don't like the standard reports, there are plenty to download or you can create your own. Amazing! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with any software there are functions that I wish were faster or easier, but Spiceworks is great and tracking my inventory and licenses as well as keeping up with all newly installed software or patches or new devices on the network. It takes some effort to get all of the devices to a point where Spiceworks can inventory them, but with a little maintenance it works like a charm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup. Works in the Cloud. Runs on its own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a little clunky when, after inventory scan, you go in and try and categorize all the different devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It scans our network and not only knows when it was last logged in, but it also pulls all specs from that machine and serial numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Items need to be on the network to be automatic. If is not attached, you would manually put it in naturally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the dynamic display options for the network map. I like that you can customize icons used in the map, as well as the ability to easily re-arrange the items on the map, so that they are organized the way you want, while maintaining mappings and relationships.

I wish we could be a bit more flexible with the map display. I would like to be able to color-code network subnets. Being able to pull diagnostic or performance metrics from the network map would be helpful. -I envision the network map showing me where there are bottlenecks in the network flow, or protocol tracing and diagnostics.

Works with or without an agent. Scans on many different protocols and ports to discover most of the information that you would need for a device automatically. When you feed it login credentials, it gets even more information about the devices, especially for Windows. I like that if you feed it SNMP info for a switch, each device lists the switch port it is connected to. It's also nice that you can manually enter devices, or manually edit existing devices. Keeps track of warranty information for some devices such as Dell and HP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes devices fail to scan. A mac remote agent would be a nice addition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how simple it is to log and keep track of all our inventory, it is really easy to use. I’m not computer savvy but I can use inventory without blowing the internet up. Lol! But seriously it is a great asset and it will help put ur mind at ease knowing your inventory won’t be the problem u have to deal with in the morning cause this does it all.

I would really like to be able to add pictures to my inventory log. That way I can just scroll through the list while seeing everything through a actual picture of the piece and not just words saying the name of what it is. Also the price could be a little cheaper but that could be just me cause I’m a cheapskate. Lol! Besides that I can’t say that I have any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great to be able to see our network on a map and where everything is located easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes all items aren't visible or identified the first time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inventory is a great product that can give you a complete view of the networks based on network scans. It can integrate with active directory and create groups of similar products. It makes it easy to run reports to get as much detail as needed or just a quick visual glance from using charts. It has functions that lets you know when devices need attention or have alerts and it can also integrate with email to send automated notifications based on your own customization.

While Inventory has a lot of features and is an amazing product, it tends to be slower for larger environments even while having multiple collection agents in different buildings. This is mainly due to the limitations of the SQLite software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great for seeing our entire network at a glance, not too hard to setup Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Should have a better GUI interface when looking at your network Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
