    Curious what other schools are using for managing their IT assets, we currently use a excel spreadsheet to track our laptops and desktops.

    We use IncidentIQ for both support ticketing and asset management.  We had previously used a combination of Spiceworks and spreadsheets. IIQ is great as we can tie support tickets to assets and easily see a history of issues with certain devices.

    We also use Incident IQ for both support tickets and inventory.  It has worked well for us.  This is the first year we have all our inventory in there.

    For our school, it really depends on the platform.  Our Apple Products are managed under School Apple Manager and rolled out through Jamf.  The Chromebooks are tracked through Google Admin.  And our Windows devices are now being managed through InTune.  There is a way to track assets in Spiceworks, the ticketing system we use; but we never got that far.

    One of the Asset management systems I used in another school district is One to one plus. It allows you to assign the device to users and integrates with jamf and intune to update device records. It provides a ticketing system for break-fix issues. Also, it has a billing system that can be used for damaged equipment by users. It gives reports based on users/devices and can email them to multiple users (staff or parents). When configured right, it can be a great tool.

    Hi Zak! 

    This is a great question and it's been great to see the responses and suggestions. Learn21 also has Tech Director Toolbox, that might be a good solution. We are an ATLIS Affiliate Member and non-profit organization founded by educators. Tech Director Toolbox has a incident tracker and asset manager that can handle a school's entire inventory (not just devices) as well as a help desk solution that is built specifically for K-12. I don't want to turn this thread into a sales pitch, but I'm happy to give a demo or a free 90-day trial if you're interested. I'm convinced you'll love it and as a non-profit we have the lowest price point you'll find. You can email me at clay@learn21.org if you want to connect.

    Hi there. We are also using Incident IQ for all helpdesk operations and asset management. I like the integration with JAMF and Apple Classroom, all connected to our Blackbaud SIS. Teachers can open tickets for students when their iPad or MacBook has an issue since they can see all the students they teach (most useful in the Lower School, not so much in Middle and Upper School grades). As several others have mentioned, having the assets tied to the support tickets helps us see a more complete view of the life of an asset. It also helps us manage expectations with how far our AppleCare coverage will take us since we track that back and can monitor hitting our annual limit per device for free repair.

    Best of luck!
