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.

LANSweeper is a versatile inventory system that has proven to be an invaluable asset for IT departments across various organizations. Users have praised its ability to provide a centralized solution for tracking and managing all assets in the network, including desktops, notebooks, servers, switches, IP phones, and materials in stock. By utilizing the software's comprehensive scanning capabilities, users can effortlessly monitor critical aspects such as drive space, toner levels, antivirus status, and software installations. LANSweeper's detailed reports offer valuable insights into network-connected devices, enabling users to plan hardware upgrades effectively. The software's user-friendly interface and SQL configuration make it easy to set up personalized reports and alerts tailored to specific needs. Moreover, LANSweeper's cost-effectiveness is highlighted by the availability of a free option for smaller organizations with fewer than 100 devices. This product has become an indispensable tool for IT departments seeking efficient inventory management and asset monitoring solutions.

Effective scanning capabilities: Many users have praised LANSweeper's scanning capabilities, stating that it allows for an in-depth look at devices on the network. This feature has been identified by several reviewers as one of the key strengths of the software.

Extensive reporting functionality: Several users have appreciated the extensive reporting functionality offered by LANSweeper. They mention being able to generate a wide range of reports, including checking RAM in groups and identifying necessary upgrades. This flexibility in reporting has been highly regarded by multiple reviewers.

Useful for device identification and management: Users have found LANSweeper to be highly useful for identifying and managing various devices on their networks. It enables them to address issues such as local printers not allowed on the network or end-of-life devices. The ability to quickly access printer statuses, including toner levels, paper availability, and service errors, has also been highlighted by users as a valuable feature of LANSweeper.

Slow Performance in VMs: Some users have experienced slowness in LANSweeper, especially when running it in a 2016 VM. They suggest that using an SQL server instead of a local lite instance of SQL may improve its performance.

Lack of Detail in Printer Reports: Users have mentioned that the printer reports in LANSweeper lack sufficient details. This can make it challenging to gather comprehensive information about printers.

Difficulty with Auto-Removal Management: Some users find it difficult to balance the auto-removal of items from LANSweeper. While acknowledging that it might not be the software's fault, they still struggle with managing this feature effectively.

Users of Lansweeper have made several recommendations regarding its functionality for staying on top of workstations and tracking patched vulnerabilities. The three most common recommendations are as follows:

  1. Keep track of workstations: Many users have commended Lansweeper for its ability to effectively manage and monitor workstations. They have found it helpful in keeping track of hardware and software inventory, ensuring that all workstations are up to date with the latest patches and updates.

  2. Patch management: Users have found Lansweeper to be a valuable tool for tracking exploited patches and vulnerabilities. It provides an efficient way to identify and prioritize patching tasks, allowing users to mitigate potential security risks more effectively.

  3. Customization and reporting capabilities: A number of reviewers have praised Lansweeper for its customization options and robust reporting capabilities. Users appreciate the ability to tailor the tool to their specific needs, creating custom reports and dashboards that provide meaningful insights into their IT infrastructure.

These recommendations highlight Lansweeper's strengths in workstation management, patch tracking, and customization features, making it a useful tool for businesses looking to stay on top of their IT environment.

Lansweeper is used for many IT functions. It shows me all my network-connected devices, including details about my PC's and Servers. I can see what processor, RAM, and Hard drives they have, so if I'm planning to upgrade, this makes it easier. I can also see who is logged on to that PC and its IP address. It also scans the PC's for what software they have and if the hard drive is full. You can create canned or custom reports using simple SQL code that many users provide to create the reports and alerts. I have one alert that tells me if a printer is getting low on toner. Another that looks at my domain server for any users that have locked their account. I also have a very nice helpdesk module that you can also create reports and alerts on. Lansweeper is so easy to create what you need due to the SQL aspect of it. And if you have less than 100 devices, it's free.
  • Helpdesk - Easy to create tickets or projects and manipulate them even links to a calendar to schedule events.
  • Reports and Alerts are so customizable, and you can download tones of them online. Any reports can be turned into an alert that can be emailed to you IF something matches your criteria.
  • Network device tracking to see what you have and details about them are excellent, and set up was fast and straightforward as it scanned my network easily.
  • Tracking what software you have. Other software tracking programs I have used gave too much info; this gives you only what you need to see about what software it finds. And yes, you can create more custom reports or alerts.
  • Great for Scorcarding due to the reports you can make
  • You get alerts from Lansweeper of major software updates and the SQL code to copy and create a report to check all your PC's to see if they have the right updates.
  • The menu bar is too bunched up, and it uses a hover over to pull-down menus. I'm always hovering over the wrong thing and have to move my mouse away then go back to hover or click on what I want.
  • I would like to turn off the hover-over on helpdesk tickets. It pops up too fast before I can ready my support ticket subjects.
  • Lansweeper is well suited for any IT department, from small to mid-sized. This would be for that advanced IT person that understands they need to see what's on their network and a little about SQL to create Reports and Alerts.
  • It may be too much for that small 5-10 user company, but remember its free if you have 100 devices or less.

  • Being able to see everything on my network helps me keep track and keep unauthorized software off my network.
  • If you set up to many scans, you could slow down your network. Keep it simple or scan at night. Lansweeper has to scan before the Reports and Alerts can have updated data to work with.
  • You will have to have a dedicated PC or VM to run this. An old PC worked for me.
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 Alerting is 100 times better and one of the main reasons I changed.
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.

It is being used for network audits and hardware and software management. It is used across multiple departments.
  • Software auditing.
  • Hardware auditing.
  • License management.
  • Ability to make different web layouts for different groups.
Lansweeper works for auditing, software deployment and hardware tracking. It has gotten better with each revision. I haven't found something it lacks that they haven't fixed.
  • Better management of software licensing.
  • Better association of hardware to users.
  • Ease of removal of non-authorized installations of software.
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.

Basic windows knowledge. To do more involved reporting some MSSQL knowledge is needed.
  • Software auditing
  • Hardware auditing
  • User to hardware association
  • Track usage or certain hardware by user.
  • Software deployment.
  • Using the new Ticketing software.
  • Using even more of the software deployment.
The price to function scale is so far towards function it would be stupid to get rid of it.

The price to feature scale made it work with the initial purchase and still does.
Not at all. It far exceeded expectations.
