What I like most about Lansweeper is the automatic discovery of devices across the network, which helps keep the inventory updated without manual effort. It also provides detailed hardware and software information foe each asset, which is useful when we need to check versions, installed software, or device configuration. The reporting has also been helpful in our environment. For example, we use it to identify outdated operating systems, old software versions, and endpoints that do not have antivirus installed so the IT team can take corrective action.
It's a good price point for the market, and it will scan most things.
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.
One area that could be improved is the interface for building custom reports. In some cases it is not very intuitive and requires a bit of trial and error to get the report exactly as needed. In larger environments like ours, which include many plants, tuning the discovery and scanning configuration can require some effort at the beginning to make sure all network segments are properly covered.
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.
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.
