"Excellent asset reporting and discovery tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

The fact you do not need a workstation agent, you just pass it credentials, means it's not intrusive. The level of detail it gives you exceeds what we've got from far more expensive tools. You get way more details than perhaps you'd expect from a tool without complex endpoint agents. The full breakdown of the software applications installed, drivers, all hardware information, and details about not only which switch the network cable is plugged into, but which port too. It's very clever how it gets all of this without complicated configuration. It was as easy as running an install and giving it credentials for our devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

It's early days for us (only been using it a couple of weeks) but so far, I see nothing I dislike. We are likely to implement the full version very soon (still evaluating) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It Does it All!"
5/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

Lansweeper's ability to scan your network and inventory pretty much any connected device is a life saver if you have inherited an unkempt CMDB and need to get it up to date fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

The initial inventory is a time suck, but this isn't a problem with Lansweeper, it is just the consequence of a large network of devices needed to be scanned slowly to ensure you don't overload or DDoS your own network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"LANSweeper review"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

I love that LANSweeper is a combined helpdesk and asset management tool. It puts all of my information in one place. This makes it easy for my staff to monitor tickets and predict problems before they arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

The report builder is quite complicated. I am rarely able to build reports I need and am forced to use the canned reports. Some reports will show different data, depending on how it is looked at. Also, Lansweeper is not very good at tracking off network items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Asset Management/Helpdesk Tool"
4/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

Delegation of tickets to helpdesk staff is seamless. If the IP scanning setup is done correctly, it is very easy to scan desktops, laptops, and other and whitelist network devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

I don't think this software does a great job of helping to answer user questions. There are a few features that seem absent from the software and when admins (like myself) tried to ask questions in the forum, we didn't receive answers that addressed our problems. Each update seemed to move or remove a key feature without any guide to where it was moved to/replaced with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great asset inventory application"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

Software reporting, single pane of glass for almost all of the details needed to manage endpoints, servers, switches, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

Deployment system is a little clunky. No way to stop software deployments once initiated. Cannot group software packages by overall product in compliance. Adds annoyance level when trying to get your head around a general package installed. How many licenses of Office are installed? Need to manually tally up installation quantities OR use crazy SQL logic to normalize datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
