It gathers information about network switches, Printers, PCs, and even the UPS power units on the network. Lansweeper shows you just about everything you would want to see on your network. The offline asset inventory tool is helpful to gather information on external computers, but it is difficult to start the inventory and integrate it with online assets results. It is not ready for all kind of software licensing and needs improvements to control software on the cloud (licensed by CPU, cores or access). The cost of licensing per asset is very low compared with most popular asset management software. You can configure alerts of changing in assets configuration to verify if that asset had a recent incident (problem) or a change request. The interface is powerful, allowing the administrators to navigate through trees of sites, assets, and all components of hardware and software. Lansweeper offers many kinds of asset searching methods, with support for the main operating systems and virtualized servers.

Then you can keep your software licensing controls updated and prevent risks of unauthorized use software or leak of critical information. Lansweeper can help you gather relevant information in a few minutes, from all computers connected in your network, without users knowledge or interference. Users can connect any kind of USB or Bluetooth accessories, and the technical team can install any software, without administrators knowledge and permission. Managing hundreds of servers and users’ computers in different sites is a challenge. Any taught files to scan for are not included in any 'Software' reports. 'Software' inventory is based on Add/Remove registry, not file based. Tech support is based in UK, so if you are in the States forget phone support. I can push the same package to a computer and it will fail 3x in a row and successful on the 4th.

Deployment packages do not survive reboot (ie multi reboots in a single installation package). Installer logic is very limited with no access to WMI for creating conditions. With a little SQL skills you can easily setup dashboards to monitor some critical information, like primary software versions or percentage of total deployment of AV software.ĭeployment tools are really weak. If they beefed up the deployment tools and added an agent based WOL, this would be a rockstar of a product. I recommend this for a small (<2K nodes) single site environment. A really good starter tool for endpoint management
