I see your crap.. and raise you an Alloy powerhouse

Alloy Software - Help Desk Software | IT Asset Management | Change Management | Software Licensing Compliance (http://www.alloy-software.com/)

Wow an overpriced help desk/network management software package. Hey welcome to the thread where this software can do the same thing but is free.

I HIGHLY doubt you can find anything that even comes close to the alloy package... the thing tracks everything under the sun w/web&thick client

The question is why did you feel the need to advertise that particular software when we are all talking about Spiceworks which happens to be free.

I only have 25 workstations. But I have over 100 servers hosted by different companies.

sure... but i'd have to PAY for alloy, right?

while it's a nice piece of software, I have no need to pay for something enterprise-level when I run under 100 workstations in a smb setting.

Yeah, I've been playing around with that. I've also been looking at Nagios and OpenNMS though as we're cheap.

well it seems to be ok here. It qualified alot of my printers as "unknown" but other than that, it's alright. I'm gonna keep playing with it.

I tried this out back in 1.0 it had some quirks with setting up IP ranges.

I'll have to try out the latest sometime.

update: i have impressed the shit out of my boss with this program. he was just wondering if we needed a help-desk trouble-tracking sorta software. :) good fucking timing.

now all we need is a linux version so i don't have to put it on a windows box...

Update 2:

Been working on trying to get it going under Wine. Relevant thread here:
Spiceworks - Running Spiceworks under Wine (Linux) (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2451)

Wine Application DB - Viewing App - Spiceworks (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=4949) <- the thread @ winehq.

If you're able to help out, please give it a shot- the idea of throwing this into a linux-based VM that can go anywhere on my network is incredibly appealing.

2500 nodes at least in 5 sites (4 US 1 India), I don't know that I want to run this in production though.

maybe I'll set it up in the lab first
