Spiceworks is impressive in both its software offering and community all while maintaining a free-to-low cost model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Spiceworks does not seem to be designed with billable hours in mind which serves as a stark contrast to other ticketing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't been able to find anything I dislike about this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The framework is super easy to use! It’s such an easy way to streamline the process of someone experiencing a problem to having that problem resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Occasionally, the program glitches and resends responses and emails. I wish there was an easier way to merge tickets as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that this platform is free, and has allowed us to compile a ticketing system, inventory, and a user list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program sometimes is laggy, as it will not let me add items to inventory or people to the list. It will just keep the loading screen up forever. They also phased out their archives Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have been using Spiceworks in our school district for over four years. It is easy for teachers to create tickets and receive updates from us as we work on the issues. There is also a mobile app that we can be alerted to tickets when we're on the road. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of setup and migration to Spiceworks. Cost, of course. Add-ons help extend some functionality. Highly suggest the following Add-Ons; Helpdesk Powerpack, Helpdesk Queue, Helpdesk Responses, and Subcategories for 7.3+. Uses SQLite, so custom reports are able to be designed with references to multiple tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Built-in portal is difficult to customize without a developer to assist. SLAs and Priorities are very simple without an add-on or a developer. Dashboard isn't as customizable as it would lead you to believe. Only three out-of-the-box statuses; Open, Waiting, Closed. The answer to extend that is to ignore the built-in status field and create a custom attribute which breaks inherent functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Spiceworks Help Desk is very user friendly and can be customized to meet a variety of specific requirements. The Spiceworks support team is very helpful in the event that issues arise. The Spiceworks Community is also very useful for sharing knowledge with other IT professionals. The Help Desk is available for either an in-house or cloud-based installation. Both work equally well.

The Spiceworks Help Desk has a feature that can scan your network and create an inventory of all devices. Although this is a nice feature, the inventory is usually not very accurate and at times is inconsistent. This usually requires an admin to clean up the inventory list, which can be cumbersome when a large number of devices are added. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use this software across all five of our locations. It helps us collaborate and tackle problems more efficiently since we are on different continents and time zones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There really isn't much that we do not like, the only thing we wish it had was more accurate reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
