Spiceworks, an IT professional social network, has released Spiceworks 6, the latest version of its IT management software for SMBs. This free software offers new features, including automated cloud services discovery, an optional remote device agent, and a new social IT knowledge base.
Spiceworks 6 is designed to help IT professionals discover what’s happening in their environment and share their collective knowledge in a more social way. Additional features include:
- Cloud Services Discovery – allows organizations to automatically detect more than 40 cloud services, helping IT pros gain insight into exactly which cloud services are in use across their network.
- Remote Device Agent – Spiceworks 6 introduces an optional agent for better management of roaming devices. The agent scans the device locally then connects to Spiceworks to provide important updates on its health and status. This offers IT pros more accurate and complete information on devices outside their immediate network.
- Social Knowledge Base – Gives IT pros access to more than 2,100 searchable “how to” articles posted by peers and vendors in the Spiceworks community. IT pros can bookmark and customize community-sourced articles or create custom content they can share or keep private. In addition, articles can be tagged and displayed in the User Portal to help minimize support calls.
Spiceworks is currently being used by two million SMB users. For more information, visit Spiceworks.
