As I've further reviewed the product, I wouldn't grab it up until they release the first patch. There are several issues that need to be resolved, but their support team is VERY good and quick.

I haven't had a chance to review it in-depth (beyond going through the "guided tutorial" upon upgrade) but it looks like it's becoming an even more powerful solution. I'm not sure what's keeping me from jumping all the way in, but I'll continue to use it as one of my tools and keep evaluating it. I've been messing with them since before version 1.0 :-) I am glad to hear that the help desk especially is getting better, because it was very simple before. That's one of the reasons I decided not to use it. It looks like we're probably going to go with a different helpdesk solution (likely HelpSpot but nothing final yet) but I'm interested to see if, when HelpSpot's next version comes out and has push integration with outside tools, if Spiceworks will add a similar feature and maybe they can talk to each other somehow? Mainly to associate helpdesk tickets with hardware where it makes sense to do so. Not exactly sure of the logistics but I'd be interested in looking into it.
