RE: Helpdesk and monitor software

I'm also in the process of evaluating this. As far as I know, spiceworks
serves adverts to keep it 'free'.
You can turn these off if you like-not sure yet what functionality you may
lose if this is the case.
It works nicely though, gives good snapshots of the systems on your network
and the helpdesk module is pretty cool.

I didn't know it was open source, though. I wonder what the license is...

I use an opensource tool that I am a Beta tester on as well ... 

You can even request feature additions for both monitoring and helpdesk.

http://www.spiceworks.com/2.1/

Some people have done some funky stuff with the Helpdesk module ... 

Like project management and collaborations.

Try it for yourself ... proof is in the pooding.

Hi,

To measure the IT system I use Nagios and Cacti for communication and server
uptime.

I need a software to helpdesk, application and licensing software monitor.
For the first I thinking use sharepoint 2007, for the second I study MS SC
and altiris. 

What you recommend for this proposes?

Thanks

Rafael
