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

"The solution offers some very good features."
"BMC Remedy is very stable and scalable, making it a valuable tool for our support team."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management is pretty easy for quite a lot of functions."
"You can develop plugins in different languages, and the workflows can be easily developed depending on the user's needs."
"The tool's automation features are fully capable, especially for IT automation. The asset management capabilities meet expectations."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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 most valuable feature of Lansweeper is that it can gather all the devices online and offline and generate proper IT assets."
"A great value is the fact that it supports multiple platforms, and it is agentless. Obviously, it still requires credentials, but being agentless makes it much easier to deploy, especially for a small business. It leaves fewer things to maintain. Especially for a small or medium business, it is a tremendous product."
"The use of Teams for EdgeScript agent and agentless scanning of devices within our network proves valuable."
"Lansweeper is very easy to use, and its technical support is very good."
"The solution provides inventory information that is very important to our company."
"We've found the most value right now in the inventory of the equipment."
"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."
 

Cons

"However, from a stability perspective, we sometimes had issues, like running out of resources, maxing out, database issues, and the server freezing out and functioning at fifty percent."
"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."
"The initial setup of BMC Remedy Asset Management was complex."
"The interface is obsolete."
"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."
"There are issues from a product functionality perspective."
"In BMC Remedy, integration is a problem and even APIs are not available."
"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."
"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."
"In Lansweeper, reporting has some glitches. Reporting needs to be more customized as per customer requirements."
"The feature to deploy software in endpoints needs to be improved."
"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 is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."
"The help desk is not exactly its strong suit."
"Lacks an end-to-end asset management tool."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC should decrease the pricing further."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"The tool is expensive."
"BMC Remedy is worth its price."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"The pricing is in-between. It's not too cheap, and it's not too expensive. For a large organization, it's worth it. But for a smaller one, it might be a bit costly."
"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."
"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."
"It is not high and it is fair according to the worth it offers."
"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."
