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…
Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Provides good reports from every asset."
"The best feature of Lansweeper is the discovery; it is really automatic and straightforward to install and use."
"The solution provides inventory information that is very important to our company."
"The use of Teams for EdgeScript agent and agentless scanning of devices within our network proves valuable."
"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."
"You can scale the solution."
"We can keep track of incidences. There is a bucket where we keep all our information, and it enables communication between stakeholders. It helps us collaborate with each other."
"ServiceNow offers a range of ITSM, IT incident management, and PRCPs."
"I find almost all the features valuable. It can do nearly everything except make your coffee, as my colleagues always say. It's got pros and cons, like every software, but the good thing about it is that it has a very structured approach."
"Everything about the schema, including the design of ServiceNow, is great."
"There are a lot of features within ServiceNow. There are plenty of add-ons that go beyond the typical core helpdesk operations, such as HR facilities, BRM functionality, and various compliance and governance capabilities."
"I would rate ServiceNow nine out of ten."
"The most impactful feature in our day-to-day operations is the ticket status, which provides crucial visibility into the progress of each resource or incident."
 

Cons

"The feature to deploy software in endpoints needs to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"In Vietnam, there's no Lansweeper office, making it difficult to find the right vendor to get the license."
"The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."
"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."
"Lacks an end-to-end asset management tool."
"Performance could be improved."
"It's a great platform, but there's still room for improvement. As the solutions stands now, you do need a lot of previous experience to use it. It would be great if they could develop some use case templates. This would be beneficial for a small and medium-sized businesses."
"There should be fewer clicks and faster integrations between solutions."
"There is inherent complexity with this tool because of the number of things that it can do."
"Licensing costs are very high."
"The product’s standard user experience is not the best."
"Needs additional software titles and easier normalization."
"Loads slower than expected, and its user interface needs improvement. Support for this product also needs to improve on their response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 actually costs some money in the long run because of the licensing model."
"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 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."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
"The price of this solution is expensive."
"The CapEx version is great."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
