What inventory systems are being used now
-
I believe most of ML users are fans of screenconnect for remote support, spiceworks cloud could be a minimal version of ticketing. What do you use now for inventory? Is it still spiceworks or something else now? Looking for a solution for a friend who wants to have helpdesk outside the office to avoid downtime due to any issues in the local setup. He needs to support a remote office. but he wants to keep the inventory local may be use spiceworks. Not sure if there are option to connect between the cloud helpdesk and locally installed spiceworks.
-
No way to connect SW local to their hosted helpdesk-only solution.
-
But could you limit the local one to inventory only and use online for tickets?

Yes this is what i suggested, but would be great if the online tickets can be associated with the local inventory hardware/user
-
Apart from spiceworks, what other tools are being used. To keep up to date inventory of hardware, software and machine health (disk space, warranty etc) would be a nice addition.
-
PDQ Inventory may be one you could check into. It's from the AdminArsenal (PDQ Deploy) guys.
-
We use MobileAsset Pro, it works is rather cheap, and allows our remote offices to manage assets as required from a Web console.

free version of lansweeper looks good too! http://www.lansweeper.com/purchase.aspx
Everyone on different forums are complaining about the performance of spiceworks local install.

Yeah, I don't understand why Windows 7/8.1 machines appear as Apple Mac Devices in Spiceworks and asking for SSH credentials.
Lots of weird issues on 3 different sites, so I wrote it off all together.

What are you using now?

If I need on-going monitoring and management, LanSweeper.
For manual inventory, Stripe IT.
For inventory combined with helpdesk, FreshService. Though not used it in production for awhile.
-
How does freshservice compares to Spiceworks cloud help desk? The free version of freshservice
-
LANSweeper looks very promising!!
-
Will test Lansweeper, for now marking this as the answer and resolved. Thank you guys

Remember, this is a conversation about inventory. that is the context. There is no way to do this. There isn't even an interface on their hosted solution for inventory.
