A Few Thoughts on Spiceworks written by pd
The data is password protected and stored locally. My machine is a windows xp, Core 2 Duo, Dell SC440, with 1GB of RAM. It is slow on the onset and that makes sense since it is scanning the entire network. Once it is running, it is an amazing app that I am not willing to live without.
Rock on Spiceworks another happy customer.
Spiceworks wants translators, do you know more than one language? Then this is where you come in, you may not be good at supporting people on the community or writing plugins but you could help other Spiceworks users.
Spiceworks documentation and help nearly all in a WIKI meaning you the user can update them.
You could help out with Languages like:
All you have to do is:
Their are more languages being added over time if you can’t find your language PM Doug I think hell be happy to help.
When you have helped translate some pages you will even earn yourself a nice “Translator” badge to go with your Spiceworks Community Profile.
Back in november 2008 MJBDiver posted Worst network monitoring software ever he wasn’t happy with how Spiceworks worked,
After the setup program finished, I eagerly launched Spiceworks only to watch its splash screen and a progress bar trickle slower than molasses. I waited a few minutes but did not get any farther than the splash screen. That’s when I stopped the program, uninstalled it and tried re-installing it again, this time with the anti-virus software disabled. Again, nothing happened when I launched it. Having failed twice to install and run it, I uninstalled it for the final time.
Here’s the fun part. The uninstall program launches your web browser and takes you to the Spiceworks web site where you get to tell why you decided to remove the software. For your convenience there is a comment box where you get to type demeaning insults to the software’s developers.
What a waste of 12 megabytes.
But 4 days later he posts A response from Spiceworks.
I started eating my words from my earlier post about their software being the worst. It’s not too often that I actually get a response to a blog post from the very company I write about. I think it was actually a nice move on Spiceworks’ part.
Unfortunately, this response didn’t change my mind. I just won’t bother with Spiceworks again, not as long we have Symantec AntiVirus running on our network.
This all due to the great work of Myshell the Spiceworks community manager when she posted a comment on the original stating Spiceworks would always help.
Long live Spiceworks and the friendly community feeling.
