What do you like best about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

I've configured Spiceworks for multiple companies. It has everything one needs for service and asset management. On the service management side, customized ticketing templates, business rules, ticket escalation, integrated LogMeIn Rescue component for RDS. On the asset tracking side, a network scanner continually scans for devices to let you know when something's on or off. Spiceworks keeps track of all Meta data for each device and alerts you when something is reaching the end of service or shelf life. Custom alerts let you get alerts for just about anything you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

While Spiceworks is a completely viable Help Desk solution, it's not an out-of-the-box app. There are some limitations to ticket customization, and the knowledgebase is part of the entire Spiceworks online user community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

Spiceworks allows you to easily track service requests and assets for your organization. It's cost-effective and provides a good baseline for managing IT assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Efficient Help Desk software. Great for monitoring issues, finding trends in common problems, and helping us with our end user training Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish the modules would be a little more separated, we dont need the Network Scanning feature, so it would be nice to just have a Help Desk version where that is all it does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

Users within the company are easily able to open trouble tickets for IT issues. I am able to assign the tickets to and IT staff member to handle the ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

There is an ongoing issue (mainly with Chrome, but have experienced it in IE) where tickets are not going through when users are submitting them. This has been going on for several months. Users are often having to submit the same ticket multiple times before it finally goes through.

Also, issues with it not saving when adding notes or when someone tries to accept or close a ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk:

If you're going to implement this, make sure you've got someone who will stay on top of maintaining and configuring the tool. The person we have handling ours does a terrible job. It's not really something you can just "set and forget". The server we have it set up on needs to be periodically rebooted (Spiceworks starts acting a bit wonky when it needs to be rebooted), certain fields that should be set as required aren't set as such. These are all things that fall on our person maintaining Spiceworks, not Spiceworks itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use this for our IT department. Users are able to open tickets when they are having trouble with systems we support. It helps us to keep track of things we're working on, as well as track where there are issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

It does not over complicate things with flashy UI and needless bells and whistles, but it does give you everything you do need in a Helpdesk system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk?

It can take some time to do a search through old tickets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Spiceworks Cloud Help Desk solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work as onsite Helpdesk in a 911 center. This gives me the tools I need to help my users while maintaining a log of work done. The simple interface was easy to learn and flexible enough to meet the needs of a fast paced environment such as a 911 call center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
