Flexera One is stable and runs reliably, but I think sometimes when it is not reporting properly, that can become an issue for customer data that is not being processed properly.
Item Analyst at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Flexera One needs better asset discovery, reporting tools, ITSM integration, user interface, and regular updates for overall enhancement.
Lansweeper users want better reporting, deployment, support, asset management, integration, UI, scalability, version tracking, and cost effectiveness.
For one of my customers, the monitoring aspect has been tricky due to the need for live database information, which could be enhanced using AI technology.
Consultant at KPMG
I would suggest stopping accepting default tool mappings, actively building custom normalization rules, and having a common convention for naming those tools.
Technical Admin at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
One feature I would like to see in the tool is the ability to handle everything in one place.
Senior Infrastructure Engineer at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees

CTO at Four Nine Agency
It would be advantageous if AD audit functionality could be integrated, showing users' actions and latest activities.
Service Desk Analyst - Endpoint Management and Support at The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust
Reporting needs to be more customized as per customer requirements.

Setup Cost

They've restructured how it's licensed, making it more fair.

Valuable Features

Flexera One offers robust license management, analytics, and integration, enhancing compliance, navigation, and cost reduction for cloud and IT systems.
Lansweeper offers robust IT asset management, supports versatile platforms, and enhances decision-making through comprehensive insights and integration options.
Sometimes I see cost savings in excess of 40 to 60 percent, with resources also in the same percentage area, depending on what the use case is and how much work and preparation was put into actually designing it appropriately for the use of the tool.
We use the dashboard to quickly identify unused licenses and usage trends, which help us reclaim licenses and reduce costs.
Enterprise Cloud Cost Over And Visibility Parts at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The documentation is very helpful, and the single pane of glass feature is invaluable because everything is accessible from one place.
Technical Admin at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
The best feature of Lansweeper is that it works on a local network without any agents installed on the equipment; it uses embedded Microsoft tools for communication and collecting information.
CTO at Four Nine Agency
The most valuable feature in the dashboard is the search functionality, which enables users to find all relevant data efficiently.
Service Desk Analyst - Endpoint Management and Support at The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust
Lansweeper has made the job easier for us. That's the best benefit.

Software Asset Management Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Clear license visibility has reduced waste and guides current software spending decisions
We often communicate with the technical support of Flexera One, and they are providing a good service to us. We are raising cases for the SKU-based library of Flexera One. Suppose there are SKUs which are not recognized. We raise a case with them asking if they could please recognize this SKU or add this SKU to the SKU library. We are in touch with them. Suppose we are not understanding any feature of Flexera One, then we are asking them for a one-to-one call. They interact with us and easily tell us things which we can understand. I will give it a 10 for the technical support of Flexera One on a scale from one to ten.

Significant asset management capabilities boost IT efficiency and support proactive monitoring
A positive aspect of Lansweeper is that they maintain a 30-minute recurring schedule with us for feedback. I have mentioned to the Lansweeper team that I would appreciate a clear separation between computers joined to our on-premise domain and those joined to the Microsoft Entra directory, as this distinction is currently difficult to make. In terms of reporting and knowledge, Lansweeper completely fulfills our needs. The software installation capability is being phased out as they now have the cloud version app, where this ability and Actions have been removed. My experience is primarily with Windows systems in Lansweeper, but it also supports Mac systems. We are currently adding Macs to scanning, though functionality is somewhat limited compared to Windows. It scans servers too, though this isn't the primary focus. Regarding network scanning, there are some security considerations due to specific service or port requirements on switches. For Windows needs in terms of asset management, report creation, and detailed information visibility, it is an excellent product. Building reports is straightforward, and while the database is quite extensive and may require research depending on needs, the information is readily available.
