Cons from reviewers

• Mobile app lacks graphics: While the Spiceworks mobile app is functional, it is text-heavy and could benefit from more visual elements to enhance user experience

• No single app for community and forum features: Users have expressed a desire for a unified app that combines the community and forum features, rather than having them separated

• Ad-supported platform: Spiceworks is ad-supported, which can be distracting and annoying for some users, although this is a trade-off for the software being free

• Unreliable inventory system: Some users have reported that the inventory system is not always accurate or reliable, particularly when it comes to identifying specific hardware details or conducting license key audits

• Limited reporting capabilities: While Spiceworks does offer custom report generation, some users feel that the reports could be more streamlined and focused, eliminating redundancy and highlighting key areas.
