Plugins are a great way to change the functionality of Spiceworks to meet your needs. You can even integrate other tools and services right into your dashboard. Some of the recent plugins have added basic License Management, and integration with third-party Exchange archiving solutions.

Well we need more ideas! Have you had an idea for a plugin for Spiceworks? Share it on the list below and maybe someone looking for an idea to code up could make it real.

Note: This list is for plugins only – so if you’re thinking about a large feature (like software distribution, etc) please post that in Feature Requests. The line between plugins and features can blur so if you’re in doubt, just add it to the list and we’ll take care of it.

Matt Hartley has recently posted about his First Impressions with Spiceworks

Today I had a chance to do something that has frankly been on my to-do list for sometime now — check into Spiceworks. Designed to run on Windows PCs, I opted to install it on my own VirtualBox installation just to toss a wrench into the mix to see how well the software reacted.

Spiceworks released Spiceworks IT Desktop Version 4.0 today. The new version arrives with enhancements that will play a crucial role in the way technicians management their accounts. New features include a helpdesk tickets feature that will allow users to create tickets. Technicians are able to edit and update existing tickets and track them.

The company says that in the future, Spiceworks plans to expand this feature and add a master console that can track multiple accounts at once. It seems this is the first step towards making the platform into a MSP solution.
