Users report significant ROI with BMC Remedy EOL, highlighting improved efficiency and long-term value despite its cost.
Sentiment score
3.5
Lansweeper is praised for remote efficiency, cost savings, and reporting, though some doubt its overall financial return.
Over the last five to ten years, there has been a good return on investment because BMC Remedy is very stable and the users are highly accustomed to it.
It ended up being more cost-effective than BMC for the license we obtained.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score

Sentiment score
5.1
Lansweeper offers responsive email support with informative resources, despite time zone challenges, earning high user ratings.
Customers with premium or enterprise-level licenses often reported fast and knowledgeable responses.
We have regular 30-minute meetings, and when we have technical support questions, they either connect us to support or provide immediate answers.
The only aspect that would enhance my rating would be an immediate response to my call, but considering they manage multiple clients, I find their service to be very close to a perfect ten.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score

BMC Remedy is praised for scalability, managing large user volumes effectively, though some find costs and technical issues challenging.
Sentiment score
6.7
Lansweeper is scalable for businesses, offering ease of setup and centralized management, despite challenges in large distributed environments.
BMC Remedy has been very scalable, handling 38 technical staff and 1,400 support users effectively.
You can start with just scanning your network and later add all the other features it provides to prepare reports.
When it comes to scalability, it is difficult to remember specifics since my lab environment is small, but I believe Lansweeper can scan quite a few devices.

7.8
BMC Remedy [EOL] is praised for stability and performance, despite some integration challenges compared to ServiceNow.
Sentiment score
7.0
Lansweeper is stable and user-friendly but may experience performance issues with heavy tasks and non-Windows systems.
 

Room For Improvement

BMC Remedy needs enhancements in UX, stability, customization, support speed, and recommends transitioning to cloud-based SaaS for improvement.
Lansweeper users want better reporting, deployment, support, asset management, integration, UI, scalability, version tracking, and cost effectiveness.
We want integration with Microsoft Teams and something similar to Artificial Intelligence.
There is no analytics from Lansweeper to understand that it is the same software but with a different version.
It would be advantageous if AD audit functionality could be integrated, showing users' actions and latest activities.
Reporting needs to be more customized as per customer requirements.
 

Setup Cost

BMC Remedy [EOL]'s pricing is complex and costly, valued in large organizations but needs adjustments to attract more customers.
Lansweeper provides cost-effective IT asset management with straightforward licensing, though prices are close to competitors without negotiation options.
The price is reasonable.
It is quite cheap compared to other solutions, and the installation was very easy.
They purchased licenses for around 300 to 400 users or devices.

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.
MarcosCastro - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient querying and reporting transform decision-making processes
One thing I wish Lansweeper could improve is to include software distribution features, which would allow me to push particular software components to specific computers. For example, if someone reported a missing EMR client, I could simply push it to their computer right away. Over the years, while we expanded from tracking around 5,000 to 6,000 computers, the licensing cost increased significantly, going from roughly $300 to about $2,500, which strained our budget as a non-profit healthcare organization. I also noted that while there were potentially useful additional features, I frequently found myself having to decline them due to tight budget constraints. Furthermore, improved integrated Windows patching that avoids switching systems would be beneficial, as I relied on Lansweeper for reports on unpatched computers but needed to use a different Microsoft tool to correct the issues.
