Is this a better alternative than LibreOffice? What makes it a competitor in the market space?

They are known to be more compatible with Microsoft Office and interface is more modern.

I thought OnlyOffice had nailed the compatibility

Yeah, but not free.

What's not free?

Snipe-IT v4.4.1 just released, the last version that will work with PHP5.

Start upgrading your systems.

Had a strange issue on my last update:-
On the assest list machines showed as Deployed

On the new updates they show with Deployed in a grey box

We don't like that

[DustinB3403]

@hobbit666 What view is that in?

[DustinB3403]

@hobbit666 I see this

Which, makes some sense if you think about it. An asset could be in a pending state and deployed, or Deployed (and some other state) so it makes some sense. Just takes a bit to get used too.

@dustinb3403 I'm OK with it just need to please the old farts lol

[DustinB3403]

@hobbit666 oh trust me, when you posted it I immediately thought it was a bug, but then went on gitter and talked to a few of them about it and I changed my mind.

Sigh... the idea of any real privacy seems to pretty much be over. Companies don't give a shit, regardless of what their PR departments say - the gov't will screw over any company that doesn't help them find a way to the data, let alone the financial incentive of the data.
