Impact modeling boosts service mapping efficiency with great technical support
The biggest benefit in my area is impact modeling. Impact modeling helps to map a service that has different applications in it, with those applications having interdependencies with each other. When changes, incidents, problems, and so on occur, it will show exactly where the issue is, helping you to find the root cause much faster. This helps all organizations reduce their mean time to resolution.
Victor Vu - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient asset management with room to address pricing and security concerns
We use Lansweeper primarily for scan discovery and device access discovery within our IT environment The use of Teams for EdgeScript agent and agentless scanning of devices within our network proves valuable. It provides us with detailed information such as GPU, CPU, memory, and OS after scanning…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It includes features for automation, such as smart reporting capabilities."
"The solution helps to manage the operational flow in our organization."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"We can create our own profile in BMC Remedy, track how many tickets we've closed on a daily basis, monitor how many SLAs we've escalated, and see how many tickets we've received daily."
"It's an exceptionally robust and seamlessly integrated solution that has greatly facilitated our operations."
"It is a stable solution."
"You can develop plugins in different languages, and the workflows can be easily developed depending on the user's needs."
"The best feature of Lansweeper is the discovery; it is really automatic and straightforward to install and use."
"Its functionality is very solid. The best part about it is that, when you have issues in getting information back from nodes, it tells you what the issue is, and you can quickly go to the specific nodes and respond to or repair those. There is an agent option, but to me, as a small business, the preference is to avoid agents where possible because you probably don't have the staff to keep up with them all."
"It is very flexible and very powerful. The reporting scripts that are continually posted are a real benefit. It makes it easier for someone who is a consumer, but not necessarily a power user, to quickly create and run reports, get updates, and know what tasks need to be performed."
"One valuable feature is the ability to monitor log-on times, providing insights into whether users are rebooting their machines as claimed. This is useful in scenarios where users may not be aware of the need to reboot for system optimization. Lansweeper helps verify such information by collecting log data. Another noteworthy feature is the capability to track CPU, memory, and network usage on workstations at intervals, say every thirty minutes. This allows me to assess the user's experience and validate their claims about resource consumption. For instance, if a user complains about high memory usage, Lansweeper enables me to verify the actual usage and address the issue accurately. This level of monitoring granularity is something I find particularly useful and haven't seen in many other tools."
"The use of Teams for EdgeScript agent and agentless scanning of devices within our network proves valuable."
"The solution has an excellent health status feature and a user-friendly interface that contains all necessary information."
"Lansweeper is very easy to use, and its technical support is very good."
"For Windows needs in terms of asset management, report creation, and detailed information visibility, it is an excellent product."
 

Cons

"Continuous improvement is recommended."
"The desktop technicians face some challenges with the solution."
"The solution is very expensive."
"However, from a stability perspective, we sometimes had issues, like running out of resources, maxing out, database issues, and the server freezing out and functioning at fifty percent."
"The product's scalability is one area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement."
"If a user isn't using an out-of-the-box configuration, it can get a bit complex."
"The interface is obsolete."
"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."
"The feature to deploy software in endpoints needs to be improved."
"The help desk is not exactly its strong suit."
"The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."
"For example, Lansweeper can scan 7-Zip version 7.2, but when a new version 7.3 comes out, Lansweeper shows it as new software, requiring us to manually add this software to the whitelist or change it in reports; it should be counted as the previous version."
"Lacks an end-to-end asset management tool."
"In Lansweeper, reporting has some glitches. Reporting needs to be more customized as per customer requirements."
"It would be beneficial if the solution could show more account-related information, beyond just the main Active Directory user account, and include management capabilities for other account types."
"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is costly. On one to ten points, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's price as nine."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"It is an expensive tool."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"The tool is expensive."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"Its cost is terrific. It has a great price and is cost-effective, and the license is free under a hundred nodes. I like the fact that it gets regular updates. Of course, it notifies you of the product and you can patch it and all that, but I like the fact that it is very affordable for the number of nodes. A company with three or four computers doesn't need it, but a company that has dozens or hundreds has to have some kind of governance. It can do everything such as Windows, Linux, and network devices, and the discovery is really intelligent. For example, you'd find smart devices, IOTs, and things like that. I'm very happy with it."
"It actually costs some money in the long run because of the licensing model."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Lansweeper's pricing a seven out of ten."
"It is not high and it is fair according to the worth it offers."
"The Lansweeper's price has increased and is now on par with or even higher than competitors, it still offers significant value in the area of IT asset management."
