Simple IT Assets Management Software recommendations.
-
Hi All,
I am looking to setup IT Assets Management software for around 150 pcs, 30 printers, 40 voip devices and 20 others. Needs to include Tag Nos. attached on those devices in Assets management software.
I am aware of Spiceworks AM, ManageEngine AM but I prefer Static Assets Management software, because these software may not scan properly (due to vlan, antivirus etc.) to give exact reports and sometimes we used to have clients,guests on our network so these software will include everything (non-company owned).
I know Snipe-IT, which seems to be well suited for my requirement, but the thing is, I need to build linux server, setup Snipe-IT and maintain. Last time I have tried by downloading the ready to use vm for Snipe-IT, and there was a problem to import the assets with .CSV format, it was showing import progressing (it was lasting permanently).
Could you people recommend any simple software (windows support will be good). Did I mentioned, free will be great ?
Thanks

Snipe-IT is the leader here, I think. If you don't want to install and maintain, does that limit you to hosted only? Not sure of who might provide that.
They offer Snipe-IT hosted for just $29/mo or less if you pay annually. Considering you will pay a minimum of $5 and more likely $10/mo for a VPS, this is pretty reasonable.

I see. Myself I liked it very much because of it's interface and all features available I was looking for. I was just wondering what others are using ????

Actually I believe I can setup the CentOS 7 and install Snipe-IT very fine. But as I said, I was having problem with importing the assets from CSV file. So I am afraid, after setting up and it may have other issues.

Did you make a thread about the import issues? I've not imported to Snipe-IT, but maybe we could have gotten that fixed.

That's expensive for us.
Well, now I am thinking to build CentOS 7 and install Snipe-IT and test it, as last I had issue with ready to use VM for snipe-IT, maybe there was an issue with vm or file ?
I give a try on Snipe-IT again.
What others using for Assets Management ?

Nope. Okay, I will make a try and post it here.

So the following commands are enough to get it done on CentOS 7 ? (https://mangolassi.it/topic/6967/installing-snipe-it-on-centos-7-and-mariadb/108 )wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh
chmod 744 install.sh
./install.sh -
Try the one liner:
yum -y install wget firewalld; setenforce 0 && yum -y install epel-release; mkdir -p /var/www/html; cd /var/www/html/; wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snipe/snipe-it/master/install.sh && chmod 744 install.sh && ./install.sh && cd snipeit; sed -i "s/'timezone' => '',/'timezone' => 'UTC',/" app/config/app.php; php artisan app:install; firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent; firewall-cmd --reloadrpm -
Snipe-IT would be the best option and yes import works without any issues. I recently setup Snipe-IT and imported our age old excel sheet inventory ( need to work on the formatting a bit to match Snipe-IT format, and for that all i did was to just create one asset and exported that to csv) But if you get the chance, i would say take time and build your database just for the major models, machine types and location and that will help you on the long run.
