I like to, nay I have to keep a close eye on the Industry and potential competitors or similar products.  This ongoing research has led me to revisit Spiceworks; a company I came across a few months ago. 

According to Spiceworks they have developed "the industry's first free IT management software designed to meet the unique needs of small and medium businesses", they also claim their software is "used to support over 11 Million Devices and 7 Million Employees worldwide"

The business model is certainly unique in that the software is absolutely free, essentially they operate an ad-supported revenue generation model, however for $10 a month you can replace those pesky ads with your own logo.

I've been evaluating version 2.1 and I have to say I do like the software in fact I'll go as far as to say this is spicy software although I found the install process a little sluggish.  You simply install a small application on your computer and then your network of Windows, Linux or Mac machines is detected and managed via a web interface from your PC, the main pre-requisite for this process is that you must have admin rights over the devices in the Enterprise.  The software also has some social networking and collaboration bolted unto it which can only help to bring Web2.0 to the Enterprise. 

Spiceworks is similar to Kaseya in that they are both aimed at the Small & Medium Business (SMB) market, this software is designed for the IT professionals that are managing the IT infrastructure for an organisation with no more than 250 devices on their network.

MendMyPC is very different to both of these products especially because it's a marketplace for a completely different target audience, there are other not so obvious differences which I cannot go into until after the MendMyPC product has been launched.
