Lansweeper Likes & Dislikes
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.

Useful tool for network discovery and maintaining an accurate asset inventory and identifying security gaps using Microsoft vulnerability reports.
Our experience with Lansweeper has been very positive. In our environment, it helps us maintain visibility of the assets connected to our network and keeps this inventory more accurate without requiring a lot of manual updates. The deployment was relatively simple. For the discovery process, we configured the tool to scan specific IP ranges and the relevant OUs in our Active Directory where devices are located. The discovery capabilities work well across different types of devices and helped us identify assets that were not always visible in other internal inventories. - CHIEF INFORMATION SECURITY OFFICER<50M USDIT ServicesReview Source
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. - Engineering Manager50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source
Not just an inventory tool, for mid-sized organizations it fits very well
Overall, my experience with Lansweeper has been very positive, especially considering we're a mid-sized organizzation with roughly 800 employeers and a fairly distributed IT enviroment. Form day one, the biggest value was visibility. Before Lansweeper, we had asset data spread across spreadsheets, AD, and few legacy tools. within a short time after deployment, we had a centralized, continously updated inventory of endpoints, servers, network devices, and installed software. - It AssociateGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source
Powerful and reliable once set up, with excellent visibility into assets.
Once the system is fully set up, it will provide clear visibility into software usage and assets across the district. The product is powerful and flexible, but the initial setup took time and required reading through the documentation carefully. After getting familiar with the features, it has been reliable and has helped streamline our IT processes. - Elv Supervisor50M-1B USDIT ServicesReview Source
