    GoGenuity is great when someone wants a one-stop solution for all their needs, it has everything gelled in together so that you do not have to go to different vendors and buy different solutions. They have a very good telco service, they themselves provide SIP trunks, their billing is amazing & the best part is everything is on the cloud and can be easily managed/accessed with great security.

    It's a great helpdesk solution - we currently have five years of data within it, roughly 25,000 tickets. The older edition is a great inventory and software license tracking tool. It is easy for users to use the interface and submit tickets and requests on the web, and its email integration is solid. The new version is a below-average system monitoring tool, only giving up/down status and a few other metrics.

    • I have always wanted a way to redirect a support request into another IS bin, such as a development task.
    • It's possible to extract the data from the Spiceworks database, but it would be helpful if the process to do so were easier.
    • Improved ability to customize the system generated emails to improve the formatting and company branding.

    Spiceworks is a free tool, so there would be no hesitation if we are required to upgrade it. We have installed Spiceworks on a dedicated server with more than enough resources to get the most from this tool, so we will have this running in our department for years to come.

    We use it both locally on our own server so up time is decided by us and we also use the hosted help desk. We have never had an outage of that.

    Spiceworks has been working out of the box, and some of the basic customizations have been successful with just our internal staff handling. We don't have any other issues with the tool. It provides us with the inventory information we want in a quick and concise report in a variety of formats for our team.

    If you can spin up a VM to run it on, you'll thank yourself later. If you have remote sites, set up a local server (or dedicated computer) at each site and set them up as remote collectors for the main site. You'll save time and bandwidth

    It was the price point and the quick support when i hit a block. compared to other vendors the price can get steep and they even limit you on the amount of assets you can hav. with genuity it's one price with no limits. And you can track vendors , contracts

    EGroupware UI is clunky and hard to use, Jira is great but the pricing is expensive in comparison with spice works that has a free version and you can test it out properly before buying and make a correct decision based on your business plan and company objectives with the right software.
