Pros
"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.""We've found the most value right now in the inventory of the equipment.""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.""Lansweeper is very easy to use, and its technical support is very good.""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 provides inventory information that is very important to our company.""Provides good reports from every asset."

"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot.""In my opinion, it is the MDM; patch management and deployment are the valuable features.""The technical support is great."

Cons
"Lacks an end-to-end asset management tool.""The help desk is not exactly its strong suit.""The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable.""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.""It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management.""The feature to deploy software in endpoints needs to be improved."

More Lansweeper Cons →

"The engineering area needs improvement.""The asset management tool is costly.""The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It actually costs some money in the long run because of the licensing model."
  • "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."
  • "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 is not high and it is fair according to the worth it offers."
