IT Asset Management
All of Snipe-IT's power, none of the self-hosting overhead
Snipe-IT is excellent open-source ITAM, but you have to run it. AssetTrakr gives you the same asset lifecycle management in a fully managed SaaS — plus integrated network mapping and documentation, no server required.
Why teams leave Snipe-IT
- Snipe-IT requires a server, PHP runtime, database, and ongoing maintenance
- No built-in network topology integration to see where assets live on your network
- No linked runbooks or SOPs per asset — docs live in a separate tool
- UI is functional but dated — not optimized for fast keyboard-driven workflows
- Self-hosted means you handle backups, uptime, and security patching
