Good monitoring and alerting capability, and it is easy to deploy
This solution is good for configuration management. The monitoring capability is easy to use and it can be done without any training. ManageEngine is easy to deploy. It is easy to identify and collect information from all of the nodes on the network. The alerting capability is good and it will send out emails.

Cloud storage with no hardware needed and great comprehensive reports
The software is cloud-based, so I do not need to store any data locally. It is a fully software-based solution, eliminating the need for investment in hardware. We have the capability to create reports as needed. It is good software to use, as there were no incidents where I needed to contact technical support. Additionally, it is free software.

"All I know is that when it comes to managing the active directory, ManageEngine is something I consider to be the best."
"The solution is very stable. It's reliable and efficient."
"Spiceworks is generic and free."
"Spiceworks offered everything we needed and more, and has improved response times to staff as well as providing an audit trail and growing database of information that can be referenced when similar problems arise."
"As a free solution, it has provided us a huge benefit, with the only expense being a virtual machine off of an existing cluster."
"It's a pretty good product, I like it, and it's given me some fairly valuable information that I've needed on a couple of occasions that no other product would present to me."
"Considering this is AdWare this is a very good product with all the right tools for a medium sized IT department."
"Ticketing works really well."
"Tracking common issues has been improved."
 

Cons

"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."
"The ManageEngine features could improve to show graphs of the traffic and network utility."

"The issue that we had, that caused us to stop using Spiceworks, was that it didn’t seem designed for a help desk of our scale, and we're a company with over 2500 employees."
"I was never able to properly get the product to monitor our Exchange server or SQL server."
"I would like the solution to allow for more direct interaction with computers. I can open tickets and I can see their status, but I can't interact directly with the computers themselves."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
