@Aaron-Studer also limited to 5 techs, IIRC
No that's the unupdated page. The weekend change is that it is unlimited. See the video above.

Nice! I'll be downloading and installing this at work in the next couple of days for evaluation.

Still can't find anything about the MSP Edition.....

Huge MSP link on their page. On a phone right now but it was very in my face when I looked this morning.
-
@scottalanmiller I see it listed, I just don't see anything on the free edition. Looks like it starts at $595

We keep posting this..... Their site has not been updated with the "free" info yet for any edition.

[email protected]Thanks. Techcrunch said it already had. Although the MSP version is behind the other.

This FB response made me chuckle, I guess the guy never heard of Spiceworks....

Very few actually have. I've never worked anywhere that knew of it b
-
Spiceworks does not dominate any software market. They are a minuscule player in the helpdesk software space.
-
@scottalanmiller Yup. Their biggest selling point is that they're free. For free, they're alright. Lacking a lot but it's a loss leader for the community. If I was in their shoes, I would only be putting forth a genuine superficial effort as well but playing it out otherwise to keep hype up. It's smart marketing albeit very "grey" in many terms.
-
@ajstringham it isn't quite a loss leader. It makes a small revenue on its on. It's more of a "tiny margin" leader.
-
It's enough to make me take a look at it again. I've always liked Zoho products anyways.
-
@scottalanmiller It's a loss leader. Think about it. The penny deals at Staples during back to school. They get small revenue on it but it's still costing more to ship and store and stock than it's selling for. Spiceworks has a team for dev and support on the app. I find it hard to believe they are making any money on the app itself. At best I'd guess they come close to breaking even. But the general term is loss leader. You are going a little too literal...

At staples that is a loss leader. They actually lose money. Spiceworks never meant for the community to make money. They actually make profit on the helpdesk app. It's not the loss leader. It's the product that they intended to sell.
-
@scottalanmiller And sell access to vendors.
-
It's a little bit literal but one is intended to pull someone in. The other was the actually goal.
