What do you like best about Lansweeper?

We have been using Lansweeper since its inception, and don’t know what we would do without it. It surpasses other network inventory software in features, support, and price. We support 4 locations with 350 users and over 1000 devices. Lansweeper enables our IT department to locate detailed network information quickly. The days of Excel spreadsheets are over for us. In addition, the adaptability makes Lansweeper invaluable to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

The only problem with Lansweeper is that we leave it open all day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"LanSweeper: An absolute MUST"
5/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

We've been using LanSweeper for nearly a decade now and it gets better every year. Always loved the inventory tracking at a reasonable price, and just recently they added a help-desk feature that is perfect for us! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

Any problem we've ever run into always seems to be resolved in the next release or two. Mac support could be better though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best network inventory there is"
5/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

Without this product we sure would struggle.

It is very easy to set-up, doesn't need any agents installed on devices and provides clear view of scanned items.

Lansweeper allows for scanning entire subnets, you can add different credentials based on machine, IP or range. On scanned devices you have access to Software and Hardware installed, last user logged on, power scheduling and more

You can run set of remote commands like WOL, restart, msi uninstall and more that you can add.

Very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

The only issue I am having with is the scanning speed.

We have over 2500 network devices across 76 subnets. Lansweeper works 24/7 and never stops scanning. The amount of network addresses it has go through sometimes overlaps with other scanning scheadules Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An essential tool for the growing Enterprise"
5/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

I love that LanSweeper has a clean interface and is simple to setup and configure. The built-in software deployment is very useful and has been a real help with keeping software updated throughout the organization. The LanSweeper forums are full of exceptionally helpful information and guides. The configurable Active Directory security allows us to control who can access the server and what they are can and cannot do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

LanSweeper has some inflexibilities when it comes to network scanning and there is very little Linux device support. The bigger issue is that the built-in report creation tool can be confusing and difficult to use since there is little documentation about all the tables and their contents.

"Awesome, time saving tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

It's so easy to use compared to other solutions on the market. Anybody can just pick it up and have super quick access to any and all information they require.

The format is intuitive and the depth of information is insane.

The integrated feel of the whole system.

Quick actions like ping/remote C$ drive/etc

All devices in one place

The support is very quick and reactive, and the people I do with have been friendly and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

Lack of multi-language support. Should be able to remotely fix the WMI errors on windows by rebuilding the repository and rebooting the service. 99% of the time it resolves the issue.

Inability to add IP wilcards, like 1.1.*.1, or via regular expressions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lansweeper"
4/5
What do you like best about Lansweeper?

It is probably the most seamless tool I have used to date and from my personal experience in gathering as much information as possible. It picks up on almost every if not all LAN capable devices, servers, switches, desktops, laptops, mac and linux, it's very useful.

You have to tweak it to get it as perfect as you like it but the premise of Lansweeper and how it works is pretty convenient. It's a lot easier if you have a domain [controller] though, because if you don't you have to scan each machine manually unless the admin credentials for each computer are the same.

You can automate it with times and you can scan separate IP ranges which is also great, that way you can isolate specific devices you don't want to show up.

It's also great the amount of detail it actually pulls, things like user login activity and recently installed software are very useful and can help find out the last few things that happened before something bad happened.

You can also execute remote commands such as shutting down and RDP and many more, all from 1 console. Scanning is very simple and easy to learn but takes time to learn the ins and outs of this system.

There are a lot more things I like but that's just a few little things I have picked out, there is a lot more to do with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lansweeper?

Some of the non windows-based machines do not seem to be consistently scanned by Lansweeper. I'm not sure what the cause is but since most employees will be on Windows and that's what you'll most likely want to scan it's not a massive issue but it would be great if Lansweeper had that 1 step ahead.
