## What it is
Snipe-IT is a free, open-source, web-based IT asset and software license management system built on Laravel. It tracks who has which laptop, purchase/depreciation info, software licenses, accessories, and consumables, with a REST API, LDAP/SAML integration, and self-hosted or hosted options.

## Use cases
- track which employees have which laptops
- manage software license seats and expirations
- replace spreadsheets for IT asset inventory
- audit hardware with barcode/QR scanning
- check assets in and out to users
- sync users from Active Directory/LDAP
- integrate asset data into other tools via REST API

## When to choose
- you need self-hosted ITAM without vendor lock-in
- you want asset checkin/checkout with history and warranty alerts
- you need LDAP/SAML/SCIM integration and a REST API
- you want a mature, actively developed, free asset manager

## When to avoid
- you need automatic network discovery agents (not provided)
- you want a desktop/offline application rather than web software
- you need non-IT asset classes like facility or fleet management
