The Alternative to Spiceworks built for SMBs

1. Flexible pricing

While Spiceworks is free, its intrusive ads and data security concerns come at a hidden cost. ALVAO's licensing model is pretty unique, in that it lets users act as both agents and requestors, which can cut costs by as much as 70% compared to traditional ITSM tools. Choose between per-user licensing or agent-based plans - all without compromising security or productivity.

2. Advanced IT Asset & Inventory Management

Spiceworks Inventory users often struggle with manual tracking, limited automation, and incomplete data. ALVAOs natively integrated IT Asset Management solves this with:

• Comprehensive scans: A single agent detects hardware configurations, installed software (Windows, Linux, macOS), and network devices (printers, switches) via SNMP.
• Cloud sync: Integrate with Microsoft Intune or Jamf to auto-update asset data, ensuring real-time accuracy.
• Automation of asset task: Automate asset lifecycle management , warranty expirations, and retirement workflows - features missing in Spiceworks Inventory alternatives.
• Lifecycle management:  This feature offers IT managers a holistic view of IT assets, enabling efficient tracking and management of hardware and software throughout their lifecycle.

 ALVAO Service Desk is huge time saver for every department

"Back in days, our IT department was using a simple email client as a ticketing system, moving to ALVAO services desk was one of the biggest improvement for simplifying our work. Our employees liked that so much that after a few years is ALVAO Service Desk implemented in many departments, from the accounting department, marketing and sales department to the legal department - 1200 daily users."
-David V. , IT Specialist

3. Manage configurations easily with built-in CMDB 

Spiceworks lacks a native configuration management database (CMDB), forcing teams to juggle third-party tools. ALVAO’s integrated CMDB eliminates this hassle by:

• Linking configuration items like a end points and services for instant root-cause analysis.
• Simplifying change management and compliance audits.
• Providing a single source of truth for IT infrastructure - ideal if you seeking Spiceworks network monitor alternatives with deeper visibility.
