Provides limited scalability, and systems do not synchronize properly

I use the platform to track IT assets, including who they belong to and their current status I do not find the product beneficial. It has ongoing issues and does not meet my expectations. The two systems within Asset Manager do not synchronize properly. Queries fail to retrieve the correct…

A powerful, cost-effective, and agentless solution that supports multiple platforms and is perfect for small and medium enterprises

A great value is the fact that it supports multiple platforms, and it is agentless. Obviously, it still requires credentials, but being agentless makes it much easier to deploy, especially for a small business. It leaves fewer things to maintain. Especially for a small or medium business, it is a tremendous product. It is very flexible and very powerful. The reporting scripts that are continually posted are a real benefit. It makes it easier for someone who is a consumer, but not necessarily a power user, to quickly create and run reports, get updates, and know what tasks need to be performed. Its functionality is very solid. The best part about it is that, when you have issues in getting information back from nodes, it tells you what the issue is, and you can quickly go to the specific nodes and respond to or repair those. There is an agent option, but to me, as a small business, the preference is to avoid agents where possible because you probably don't have the staff to keep up with them all. It is really easy to use in contrast to some more enterprise-level solutions. All the information is basically very accessible. It's a powerful tool for someone who has to do a lot of functions by themself, as opposed to spreading it around between multiple users. For a small business that has an administrator or a couple of administrators that need tons of information in a central location, and that has some compliance people that have to run reports and are not necessarily power users, it is a great product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is easy to setup."

"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."

"We've found the most value right now in the inventory of the equipment."

"Its functionality is very solid.

Especially for a small or medium business, it is a tremendous product."

"The most valuable feature of Lansweeper is IT asset management. In the realm of cybersecurity, having knowledge of what is on the network is critical. We are able to conduct reports and see the assets we have. Initially, the solution required a machine on the local network to scan everything, but it has evolved to include agents that can report to a device, and more recently, an agent that can send data to the cloud even if the device is outside of the network. This has proven to be especially useful during the pandemic, as it has allowed us to keep track of devices that have been sent home with employees."

"One valuable feature is the ability to monitor log-on times, providing insights into whether users are rebooting their machines as claimed. This is useful in scenarios where users may not be aware of the need to reboot for system optimization. Lansweeper helps verify such information by collecting log data. Another noteworthy feature is the capability to track CPU, memory, and network usage on workstations at intervals, say every thirty minutes. This allows me to assess the user's experience and validate their claims about resource consumption. For instance, if a user complains about high memory usage, Lansweeper enables me to verify the actual usage and address the issue accurately. This level of monitoring granularity is something I find particularly useful and haven't seen in many other tools."

"It is very flexible and very powerful. The reporting scripts that are continually posted are a real benefit. It makes it easier for someone who is a consumer, but not necessarily a power user, to quickly create and run reports, get updates, and know what tasks need to be performed."

"Lansweeper is very easy to use, and its technical support is very good."

"The use of Teams for EdgeScript agent and agentless scanning of devices within our network proves valuable."

Cons

"The synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."

"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."

"In Vietnam, there's no Lansweeper office, making it difficult to find the right vendor to get the license."

"The support experience hasn't been satisfactory. Establishing a direct connection with someone is challenging, as communication is limited to chat or forums through a web link. There's a lack of direct interaction with support personnel, making it difficult to have real-time conversations or seek immediate assistance, which is not ideal."

"I don't have any complaints about it, and I've never really had any issues. It isn't wizard-driven or anything like that, but it doesn't need to be. For someone who is not familiar with system administration, it would be daunting. There would be a lot of info there. They wouldn't necessarily know what to do, but that's not its target audience. For its target audience, in particular, it doesn't need to change. It is really a good tool."

"Lacks an end-to-end asset management tool."

"The help desk is not exactly its strong suit."

"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."

"The feature to deploy software in endpoints needs to be improved."

"The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"Its cost is terrific. It has a great price and is cost-effective, and the license is free under a hundred nodes. I like the fact that it gets regular updates. Of course, it notifies you of the product and you can patch it and all that, but I like the fact that it is very affordable for the number of nodes. A company with three or four computers doesn't need it, but a company that has dozens or hundreds has to have some kind of governance. It can do everything such as Windows, Linux, and network devices, and the discovery is really intelligent. For example, you'd find smart devices, IOTs, and things like that. I'm very happy with it."

"It is not high and it is fair according to the worth it offers."

"The Lansweeper's price has increased and is now on par with or even higher than competitors, it still offers significant value in the area of IT asset management."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Lansweeper's pricing a seven out of ten."

"It actually costs some money in the long run because of the licensing model."
