What is Lansweeper?

Lansweeper - Network Discovery and IT Asset Management Software

Lansweeper is an IT asset management solution that provides network discovery of all connected users, devices, and software within the IT estate. Lansweeper's device recognition capabilities provide complete visibility across the entire IT estate, in one centralized IT inventory.

Know Your IT

Lansweeper automatically and continuously discovers IT assets across infrastructure — servers, laptops, desktops, virtual & cloud machines, networks devices and IoT assets— in order to create an always-accurate, up-to-date inventory with detailed and granular IT asset data. Not only the hardware specs, but also the user data and installed software are gathered in one central repository.

Lansweeper also discovers devices that only briefly touch the network, as well as shadow IT and forgotten, idle devices, identifying them accurately.

Key Benefits

  • Increase Visibility: Eliminate blind spots and discover previously unknown assets.
  • Boost Productivity: Automate recordkeeping and reporting.
  • Improve Security: Identify risks, vulnerabilities and non-compliance issues.
  • Optimize Costs: Reveal needless expenses and manage IT more cost-effectively.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Lansweeper is being used by the IT department for the City. We use it to track IT assets and pull data from it for use in our chargeback calculations. We also utilize it for planning our replacement schedule each year for end-user systems.
Pros
  • Automatically scans the network and populates assets with detailed information
  • Checks support sites for remaining warranty on assets and populates that with the asset record
  • When scanning networking equipment as well it links assets to what switch and port they are connected to
  • Use of custom fields and groups for sorting assets
  • Simple to use
Cons
  • There is not a clean way to remove assets from active inventory, but keep them in the database.
  • Deleting the asset from the system deletes it from the database.
Likelihood to Recommend
Pro: Easy to set up and start scanning the network. Multiprotocol support. Multi-device support. Linking assets such as monitors to the desktop they are connected to. Linking devices to the switch and port they are connected to.

Con: Price is making a large jump this year. Needs a better way to remove assets from reporting when retired without removing it completely from the database.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Lansweeper to manage our infrastructure. It allows us to pull useful reports, push software and manage our assets all in one easy to use interface. I have used similar products and Lansweeper is just as good if not better than its competition.
Pros
  • Automatically scans and detects new assets.
  • A powerful reporting tool. You will have to be familiar with power-shell.
  • Push software to machines. Saving us time.
Cons
  • Ease of use - pushing software can be a complicated process.
  • Detecting assets sometimes means going to each machine on opening ports on the firewall.
  • Reporting can be hard to figure out but you can ask on their forum. I find that a lot of my questions already have been asked.
Likelihood to Recommend
I believe that Lansweeper met our budget and needs adequately. Keep in mind that there is a high learning curve. We were able to learn the software due to our large and talented IT team. The reporting can make those dull jobs a breeze. Software pushing can save time and frustration.

Lansweeper. Solid easy product that does everything you need!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use lansweeper as a monitoring, alerting and asset management tool. The product is used only by our IT department (systems and network administrators). This tool helps our help desk technicians easily find a user or computer, find necessary information about configuration, membership, network information, etc. We have several branch offices and lansweeper helps us with asset management and physical inventory. It allows us to build and run different types of reports that are being requested by IT managers. Also, we are using this tool as an event collection and alerting system. It's easy to configure and use; does not require additional deep education to be used for Tier 1 level of support. The web interface allows us to use this tool from any endpoint within the company's network.
Pros
  • Easy and quick configuration
  • A large number of tools available for administration
  • An excellent scanner that does not overload endpoints
  • Ability to create very detailed custom reports
  • All the infrastructure information in one place
Cons
  • I would like lansweeper to be more flexible to combine assets to logical groups (PCs, monitors, IP phones and users)
Likelihood to Recommend
It is the best tool that is used for collecting initial information about users or devices. Well done cross references. We are never faced with any serious issues using this product for our internal purposes.

LANSweeper gives you bang for your buck!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
LANSweeper Is currently used as an inventory system for our entire WAN. Every computer reports in to LANSweeper when someone logs in. LANSweeper is also configured to randomly scan our network for new devices. We use it to monitor issues like drive space, toner levels, and Antivirus status. For an inexpensive solution, LANSweeper really a one-stop shop for a lot of necessities.
Pros
  • 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 has a tendency to be extremely slow sometimes. We are running it in a 2016 VM. It has plenty of RAM, CPU, and Storage. However I believe it would benefit from living on an SQL server instead of a local lite instance of SQL.
  • I wish there were more details in the printer reports. It is definitely a bit lacking.
  • It's hard to balance the auto-removal of items from LANSweeper. This isn't necessarily LANSweeper's fault. But sometimes you want to keep record of devices for a period after they're gone. Sometimes, you just want to wipe the slate clean of old items and start over.
  • The Helpdesk system needs a LOT of improvement. We used it for two years. This year, we did not renew. It is comical looking with its colors and large fonts. It is difficult to sort through tickets. I hope it gets better in time. I like having it integrated into the inventory system.
Likelihood to Recommend
Because of its slowdown as we have acquired more equipment, I think LANSweeper may be better suited for smaller environments. We have 3000+ users and over 1500 devices on our WAN. It has shown considerable performance issues as we have grown. Maybe moving it to a full blown SQL instance will make things a bit better. But as it stands, it has gotten tiresome waiting for it to update and refresh.
