Lansweeper Likes & Dislikes
What i like the most about Lansweeper is its discovery capabilities, his price, and his easy initial configuration. The amount of details it gathers about hardware, software, and information with a simple configuration, is very helpfull for us in audits.
It's a good price point for the market, and it will scan most things.
What I, as the Head of IT, value most about Lansweeper is its visibility and control across our entire technology estate. Its discovery engine covers both our IT and OT environments, cataloguing every device, application, and firmware instance. This enables us to challenge our OT partners to actively upgrade or retire equipment before vendor support is terminated. Equally powerful is LAN-sweepers software detection capability. We can instantly see our full software stack on all devices, which version, and flag those that are outdated and more importantly (linked to NIS2/ISO27k1) those with known vulnerabilities; this ensures our risk-mgmt. process is comprehensive and defensible. Lanweeper's extensive dashboards and high level of customizability assures that your every reporting and tracking need is matched for both Infrastructure as Security operational support.
The main dislike about Lansweeper is the lack of intuitiveness in certain advaced configuration settings. Setting up and managing VLANs can be tedious and time-consuming, and creating or customizing alertas in the database with queries requires mre technical effort than expected. Another limitation is the detection of mobile devices, which is less accurate comapred to other assets types. Improving these areas would enhance the overall experience.
As mentioned above, it comes down to the difficulty with interpreting the data. The product didn't feel modular enough, and when you're scanning and evaluating code across the business it didn't always feel like a smooth fit.
There is some room for improvement on the administration on detected devices to eliminate duplicates. Apart from that, it does perform perfect and better then I anticipated. We now have all serial-nr's and a complete inventory of all screens connected to our computer-park, even if they are TV's, dual- or triple-screen setups.

Comprehensive asset discovery solution that could be more intuitive in advanced confoigurations
My overall experiencie with lansweeper has been positive, the platform provides a complete asset discovery and inventory solution, with a high capability for network scanning, device identification and integration with other it solutions. The main reason to my positive rating, while the product works well and it is accurate, it could be more intuitive with the querys in the database and customization of alerts. Some menus in the advanced configuration, such as configure and introduce all the VLANS is tedious and slow. The main problem from my experience is the identification of device mobiles information. Overall lansweeper is a solid and valuable solution for IT asset management, it help us to identify any new device connected to our network, but his perfomrnace and the difficulty to customize alerts and the detection of the mobile devices blocks me for give it 5 stars. - Head of IT50M-1B USDEnergy and UtilitiesReview Source
