This is really nice. Spiceworks is a browser based inventory program that allows LAN managers to quickly discover and document the hardware, software and patch status of their network PCs. That rather bland description seriously under-sells the usefulness of this product. It’s got a terrific filter system that allows you to target your inventory request plus a highly customizable reporting system. On top of that it has a great interface, is easy to use, can handle Linux and Mac OS X workstations and uses standard network protocols.
In short, it’s just the tool that managers of small to medium size networks have been looking for. At the moment it’s a free beta so go grab it while you can. Note: The program requires XP Pro with 512MB RAM on the administrator’s PC. Free beta, 8.7MB.
