Find out in this report how the two IT Asset Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Lansweeper is very easy to use, and its technical support is very good."
"The solution provides inventory information that is very important to our company."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We've found the most value right now in the inventory of the equipment."
"Provides good reports from every asset."
"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."
"The solution shows us classic categories, including high, medium, and low risks. It also shows critical items, and that gives us the advantage of prioritizing things."
"The most valuable feature is that this solution is very lightweight."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to run different capabilities with the same agent. With only one agent, we can have EDR, vulnerability management, compliance and some basic SaaS security capabilities."
"Great web application security for scanning."
"It's very configurable to adjust impact to systems."
"It's a good product. After the scan our internet works well. It scans our security posture."
"The most valuable feature is the certificate management."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the external channel."
"The feature to deploy software in endpoints needs to be improved."
"Lacks an end-to-end asset management tool."
"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."
"The help desk is not exactly its strong suit."
"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."
"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."
"The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."
"I would like to see more accuracy in detections, better reporting capabilities, and better dashboard download capabilities."
"It is a struggle to be able to pull our report and to be able to do onboarding using automated tools."
"Some of the older features could be polished instead of focusing on releasing new features."
"Qualys could improve the inbuilt dashboards."
"Qualys does have an on-prem solution, but it is very expensive."
"They're still evolving their platform in terms of reporting capabilities."
"One of the biggest issues from the clients' perspective is that all Qualys computing is on the cloud."
"The only improvement I can think of is on the implementation side. At times it is a bit slow."
