What is Reftab?
Reftab is a cloud-based IT asset management platform founded in 2013 and trusted by thousands of IT teams worldwide. It tracks hardware, software, equipment, and spend in one place while handling hosting, updates, and maintenance automatically. This makes it a fit for growing companies, multi-location operations, and MSPs who need clean client separation without the overhead of self-hosted tools.
What is Snipe-IT?
Also created in 2013 by Grokability, Snipe-IT is a free, open-source IT asset management system written in PHP. It serves a wide range of organizations from schools and hospitals to IT departments and government agencies - who prefer to self-host their asset tracking.
Which tool is right for your team?
Reftab handles hosting, updates, and maintenance for you so IT does not spend hours supporting the tool instead of managing assets. It works well for growing companies, multi location operations, and MSPs that need clean separation between clients. An open source tool fits teams that want to self host and manage their own infrastructure. It makes sense for technical users who prefer full control and have time to maintain servers, tune performance, and manage updates on their own.
