We are mainly using Lansweeper to track the assets, company-provided assets such as computers, laptops, CPUs, iPads, Android phones, and all related equipment. We are also using it to automate certain tasks. For instance, if a device's warranty is about to expire, it automatically creates a report for us periodically. We are also using it to provide status updates on systems and Windows, indicating if certain machines are out of life or if Windows needs to be updated. These are the things we have automated with the tool. We are mainly using it for automation.

My use cases with Lansweeper primarily involve discovery for data center migrations. I did this when I worked for my company, where we used BMC's Discovery for asset discovery. Another customer wanted to do asset discovery without using BMC, which led to my exploration of Lansweeper.
We use Lansweeper for asset management. We utilize Lansweeper's advanced scanning capabilities for monitoring connected devices, and we mainly use this feature for scanning software installed on devices. We maintain two lists, a blacklist and a whitelist of software, and we manage the software that appears in the network, including on mobile devices of users. We use Lansweeper for creating and arranging reports about Microsoft applications installed, and we use it to count licenses. Our accounting team also uses Lansweeper to make an inventory of IT devices, and because Lansweeper scans devices very well, it can retrieve serial numbers of devices.
I am not exactly an end user of Lansweeper, but I am supporting the end users who are our branch office. I am an ICT advisor for this organization, where I support my branch office if they need to implement any solution. It's used for IT Asset Management.

For instance, when it comes to installing a VPN client across our workstations, we used to do it manually for each of the one thousand workstations. However, with Lansweeper, we can now handle it remotely and automatically through system log-on. Lansweeper simplifies tasks like conducting an inventory and identifying workstations lacking the VPN client. It allows us to create and deploy MSI installation packages efficiently. Additionally, when we need to uninstall tools like TeamViewer from all our clients, Lansweeper streamlines the process for us. What sets Lansweeper apart is its intelligence—it runs repairs only if the relevant application is detected on the machine. This intelligent approach makes it more efficient than other tools, like NetSuite Panel.

The Lansweeper is a versatile software that is currently being utilized primarily for IT inventory management, with the capability to distinguish between IT and OT assets. They recently introduced an OT scanner which the organization is yet to deploy. The software also comes with cloud configuration options which the organization has just started exploring. The reporting function of the software is robust, allowing the IT team to generate reports on assets and feed them into other systems. The software has been used by the organization to track a large number of devices with multiple users, and for reporting purposes, the IT team has been able to utilize the Lansweeper to generate a list of computers that are used by only one user in a specified period of time. We are not currently using Lansweeper to its full potential, its primary use is for operational technology, such as temperature gauges and IOT devices. The Lansweeper has an OT scan feature that is designed to integrate all of these devices into the cloud, however, we have not yet had the opportunity to utilize this feature. The company is moving away from its traditional internal solution and focusing on developing more in the cloud, including a recent launch of a new mapping feature. Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to explore these new developments as of yet.
We are using Lansweeper for discovery. Smaller businesses don't generally have proper assets in place. We run Lansweeper and capture all their assets and categorize them. We are partners and resellers of Lansweeper.

We primarily use it to monitor the Windows machine. I don't want to call it network monitoring because it monitors the end points really, and we use other monitoring tools as well. Right now we've started using the help desk, but we haven't done that 100%.
Managing IT has never been a bigger challenge. Hardware, software, and users can be anywhere at any time, making IT environments extremely dynamic and often complex. A seemingly simple question has become terribly difficult to answer: ‘Who is using what?’ This question inspired Lansweeper and still drives us today. We believe that answering it is crucial to tackle and simplify many of the challenges IT professionals face every day.
