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."
"BMC Remedy is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team."
"The most valuable BMC Remedy Asset Management are the dashboards and reports for the CIO."
"The most valuable features of BMC Remedy are its ease of use, ease of installation, and customization capabilities."
"The solution helps us manage, escalate, and solve incidents."
"The discovery feature of BMC Remedy has been very valuable."
"The incident management console is available out of the box."
"The solution helps to manage the operational flow in our organization."
"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."
"We have seen a return on investment with Lansweeper, as we save time preparing reports for Microsoft, and it has been very useful in terms of cost savings."
"The benefits I have seen from using Lansweeper at the infrastructure level include licensing and optimization, the cost reduction and elimination of redundant tools reduced our needs, and this was particularly evident in the most recent project."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Lansweeper is IT asset management. In the realm of cybersecurity, having knowledge of what is on the network is critical. We are able to conduct reports and see the assets we have. Initially, the solution required a machine on the local network to scan everything, but it has evolved to include agents that can report to a device, and more recently, an agent that can send data to the cloud even if the device is outside of the network. This has proven to be especially useful during the pandemic, as it has allowed us to keep track of devices that have been sent home with employees."
"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 solution provides inventory information that is very important to our company."
 

Cons

"BMC works through intermediaries or vendors for support, so you don't always interact with BMC directly. The quality can vary depending on the specific vendor."
"Maybe the network automation aspects need improvement."
"The tool's GUI is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"The UI is quite outdated."
"If we migrate to the cloud, the Software as a Service version's price is very high. The return on investment is very small in our case."
"The product's scalability is one area with certain shortcomings that need to be considered for improvement."
"The upgrade process could be better. It would be a good improvement."
"In Vietnam, there's no Lansweeper office, making it difficult to find the right vendor to get the license."
"The support experience hasn't been satisfactory. Establishing a direct connection with someone is challenging, as communication is limited to chat or forums through a web link. There's a lack of direct interaction with support personnel, making it difficult to have real-time conversations or seek immediate assistance, which is not ideal."
"I don't have any complaints about it, and I've never really had any issues. It isn't wizard-driven or anything like that, but it doesn't need to be. For someone who is not familiar with system administration, it would be daunting. There would be a lot of info there. They wouldn't necessarily know what to do, but that's not its target audience. For its target audience, in particular, it doesn't need to change. It is really a good tool."
"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."
"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"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."
"It is an expensive tool."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"It actually costs some money in the long run because of the licensing model."
"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."
"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."
"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."
