Chose Lansweeper
Microsoft System Center needs to install agents on all IT asset for discovery and sometimes the agents can easily get corrupted. Lansweeper is a SaaS solution and it's easier to deploy to all IT asset that are connected to the network. This save us a lot of deployment time …
Chose Lansweeper
Track-It!'s inventory control costs a lot more than LANSweeper. We're happy with the cost and features of LANSweeper compared to Track-It! We do use Track-It! for our ticketing system now. It is robust, full-featured, and blows LANSweeper out of the water. But for …
Chose Lansweeper
Lansweeper is a more mature software. Its ability to scan hardware and software is more to the point and not so full of bad info or junk you don't need. The Helpdesk feature has better options and not locked down to what the creator wants you to see. But the Reporting and …
Chose Lansweeper
Though Lansweeper isn't designed as a live network management tool, it's intended as a static Networked Asset Inventory Manager. It does share many functions with other applications, and the reporting tool in Lansweeper is much easier to use and to customize (create your own …
Chose Lansweeper
Lansweeper is DRAMATICALLY cheaper than KACE and provides the same level of reporting and inventory of asset data. Where KACE outshines Lansweeper, is Lansweeper has a very minimal software deployment system that requires clients to have direct access to a common file share. …
Chose Lansweeper
Lots of solutions were not able to scan platforms outside of Windows and LS was able to at some point. Lansweeper was the most affordable solution at the time when we did our selection. Lots of solutions we're not user-friendly and had way too many menus and configurations and …
Chose Lansweeper
For the price Lansweeper easily moved to the top of our list. It is extremely easy to use and manage. The amount of detail it gathers on each asset automatically was amazing. Manually adding an asset is very simple as well. The fact that it will detect peripherals on machines …
Chose Lansweeper
The main competitor that are not isted on your TrustRadius is PDQInventory and PDQDeploy, and those two come as a package and they blow Lansweeper out of the water for both software deployment and hardware inventory. That being said, comparing it to the others I see listed: …
Chose Lansweeper
Two very different products. Snow has agents, Lansweeper is agentless with massively different functionality. Lansweeper will be good for 150 to 200 user businesses, Snow is better for anything larger. Lansweeper has little software recognition beyond Microsoft. Snow has better …
Chose Lansweeper
  • Ability to create and run granular custom reports
  • Software management, pushing and removing software
  • Automatic scanning of new assets appearing on the network
Chose Lansweeper
Lansweeper is great for what it does at its price point. However, it has nothing on LabTech. I have been spoiled by the feature rich LabTech and its automation greatness. If you are on a budget and need a robust product that will get the job done. I would recommend Lansweeper.
Chose Lansweeper
It's so much easier to configure and maintain. We could never get BMC to work consistently where Lansweeper worked right out of the box.
Chose Lansweeper
SolarWinds Web Help Desk is very bare bones and just not a very intuitive interface. The ticketing system was just a pain to work with and setup took ages upon ages to set up. ManageEngine was a nice solution but it also took quite some time to configure properly. It really was …

Lansweeper I believe is well suited for any environment - its low cost and small footprint make it an easy addition to any organization, big or small, that is looking for an asset inventory solution that can either replace or supplement existing asset management systems. It may not be well suited for situations where a lot of customization is necessary, such as pulling in custom fields or details from equipment that don't reside in a registry.

Pros
Lansweeper
  • Inventory - LANSweeper scans the network for devices - anything with an SNMP trap or using AD or local credentials. We can get an in-depth look at devices.
  • Reporting - LANSweeper can generate just about any report you can imagine. We can check RAM in groups and determine where upgrades are needed. We can find local printers (which aren't allowed on our network) and address that issue with the user. We can check CPU type to help determine end of life without our network.
  • Printers - It's nice to have a quick look at printer statuses. Toner levels, out of paper, and service errors are all reported via LANSweeper.

Cons
Lansweeper
  • Can only scan what it sees. Doesn't show every item on the machine. Patches are also absent.
  • Software Recognition is OK with Microsoft. It is dire within our network of multiple products. Recognition is at about 35% with constant manual work needed to baseline for each manufacturer in each network
  • Datacenter compliance is a manual project. We used Excel extensively.
  • License optimization is limited to installations v surplus licenses. We need to know who's using what and how.

The price to function scale is so far towards function it would be stupid to get rid of it

Lots of info online there are tons of SQL Reports you can copy from the web as Lansweeper and users post many of them. They also send out alerts that pop up on Lansweeper, letting you know of an update that you need for certain software and provide an SQL report so you can scan your system to see what PCs need this update.

Return on Investment
Lansweeper
  • It had a positive impact on solutions expense cause several teams we're using different solutions with different costs that used several servers and DB resources. Now, we've been able to simply that a lot with Lansweeper.
  • With my previous point, people had to train and learn about each of their solutions. Now we can put a team in charge and so the other teams can focus on other tasks.
  • Last year Lansweeper changed their licencing prices a lot so it slashed our budget.
