My experience with SW is that I tried it out and didn't really care for it and removed it. I continue to receive emails from them even though I have unsubscribed myself numerous times. IMO Spiceworks = Spammer From: Bill Lambert [mailto:blamb...@concuity.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 28,

I use Spiceworks regularly. It is a pretty good product, for free. I am sure there are better ones out there, but I am cheap. :) Give it a try, if you don't like it, you are out nothing but time. I do agree, they send TONS of e-mail. Set up a filter, or a separate e-mail address.

I've used Spiceworks and mostly liked it, but I seemed to continuously have problems where it wouldn't finish a network scan, especially when it is scanning remote office computers. I also found in the past that the web interface was painfully slow, but that may have improved. Curre
