User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Spiceworks Help Desk from the user end is very simple. Once you submit your technology needs, I automatically receive an email stating that my ticket was received and is being processed. It's also helpful to have the VNC feature so that my IT department can automatically VNC into my computer if it's a quick fix. At times Spiceworks Help Desk can be tricky because as someone who's not in a Tech role at my company, it can be hard to describe what I need assistance with writing.

  • Many decisions must be made to implement the tool, which can be a challenge for companies that don't already have an established ticketing or project management system.
  • The modules you create such as ticketing applications can't be deleted once they are made.
  • You can't copy all your settings from one application module to another.

There is no contract to renew, since it's free. Spiceworks has helped me so much that I couldn't imagine trying to replace it with a different product. I'd have a hard time finding a single product that does everything that Spiceworks does, let alone one that does it as well as Spiceworks and for free

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

Alternatives Considered
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.

There are plenty of programs and websites out there that do the same things, but when compared to TeamDynamix and their level of support that they provide, I don't feel that it can be matched. The simple UI for our end-users and technicians creates a tremendous amount of value. The cost of TeamDynamix is not the cheapest of the bunch, but also not the most expensive. At the same time, I think we get a lot of value for the price we pay for their services.
