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 currently being used by my organization as our main inventory tool. Let me say from the very start that I did not configure Lansweeper for us, so my obervations and reviews are based on the current configuration that we use and what I have done with it. We do not use the software deployment features, only the inventory, but for what we use it for it works very well. I run it from a virtual server, and I can check to see how many PCs have what software installed, I can see a current users PC name, or vice versa, and see a certain PC's current user. I can also set up collections based on software.
Pros
  • Keeps track of PCs via Active Directory
  • Tells who is currently logged into a certain PC
  • Shows what software is installed on a certain PC
Cons
  • Results are not instant, meaning they take time to scan
  • Purging is not accurate. I have seen machines show up that have been off the domain for weeks
  • The interface could be more intuitive
Likelihood to Recommend
Lansweeper would be ideal for an educational setup, for example, where there are just a few VLANs where nothing is moved around. Lansweeper will suffice, but is not ideal for a call center enterprise scenario where a company owns sites in several different locations, with many different VLANs, and is moving machines back and forth between locations.

Inventory tool you need for your business!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
In our university, Lansweeper is mainly being used for computers and hardware inventory over the network and outside our network. We needed an inventory solution that wasn't requiring the server to probe the clients for security reasons. It's now being used by nearly all our IT staff departments. Also, we needed something where we could show data on multiple angles because we have different IT teams over several buildings that support specific VLANs of machines.
Pros
  • Lansweeper is grabbing lots of data from the machines without slowing the network and the client machines. We can easily get all the installed software data, hardware and linked hardware and all the user you can grab from the AD (computer and user).
  • Lansweeper can now scan Windows, Mac and Linux with an agent installed (or not if you want that the server is the one pulling the data).
  • The web interface is really friendly user and offers lots of possibilities to personalize your dashboard as you see fit.
  • Reports engine is really powerful and easy to monitor your machines and also your security issues.
Cons
  • I don't know why Lansweeper decided to integrate a helpdesk within its inventory software but I think its a pain cause if you only want to use the inventory, you have to disable several things in your UI.
  • It's using your AD hard. So watch out when you decide to pull data from your AD to complement your LS data cause it's gonna open and close one connection per object which is insane.
  • It would be very helpful to be able to get mobiles linked to LS without having to use hardcore infrastructure provided from Apple and MS.
Likelihood to Recommend
Lansweeper is well suited for small, medium and large businesses with LAN-only devices and outside as well. It's great to scan all sort of things and reporting them to you in the way you want (graphics, charts, tables, etc.). I have no clue about their help desk features cause we're not using them but I could see a benefit from using one tool for two things. It still has some room for improvement for mobile devices and MacOS and Linux devices scan with agents, but they're working on it so there's hope.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are currently utilizing Lansweeper as our go-to IT asset inventory database. Prior to installation, we were able to discern data from Active Directory, countless Excel sheets, and "chicken-scratch" notebooks to track inventory and serials. Lansweeper has allowed us to centralize our inventory into one location, which automatically updates as we make changes to our environment.
Pros
  • Scanning and detecting devices on our network - in most cases, it can determine what type of device it is and pull all relevant details from that device into searchable fields.
  • Fantastic support and communication from the vendor - including publishing new report templates monthly that you can import into Lansweeper to assist with security audits and updates.
  • Easy and intuitive helpdesk feature that allows you to track requests against specific assets.
Cons
  • The reporting module is very involved - if you're familiar with relational databases, it will help - but for the common user, there isn't a wizard driven process for creating reports.
  • Interface overall is dated - but is still functional. A new, cleaner interface would be welcomed.
  • Really needs an alert module to immediately notify when thresholds have been met - currently, you schedule alerts that check at certain times to see if a threshold has been met - it is not immediate.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Love me some Lansweeper!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Lansweeper is being used in various ways throughout my organization. In our IT department, we are using it for discovering and maintaining our software licenses, tracking support needs through the help desk feature, and of course use its capability to inventory our desktop and server infrastructure. We also are using it as a knowledge base for end users.
Pros
  • Easy to use.
  • A one stop shop for hardware and software inventory, help desk, and knowledge base.
  • Great tech support.
Cons
  • The help desk tool is nice, but setup was a little cumbersome.
  • While their support is great, it's generally only through email.
Likelihood to Recommend
Lansweeper is well suited for any IT environment. If you want to have a snapshot of what's going on in your network inventory wise, this is your application! If you want a knowledge base, this is your application! If you want a help desk, again, this is your application to try! It really does a lot of things and for the most part does it well!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Lansweeper in the company for several functions, among them it is related to the inventory and control of all assets in our network (Desktops, Notebooks, Servers, Switches, IP Phone, Materials in stock...) in addition to keeping the monitoring of our environment VMware Hypervisor. We recommend using Lansweeper for a company's entire IT environment by taking inventory of assets online. Lansweeper enabled us to successfully pass 5 Microsoft audits in compliance.
Pros
  • Remote management of servers and workstations
  • Licensing Control
  • centralized management dashboard
Cons
  • Lack of more details in the reports
  • Active Directory central management role
  • System management with detailed ACLs for multi-users with different types of permissions and responsibilities
