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 tool's automation features are fully capable, especially for IT automation. The asset management capabilities meet expectations."
"You can develop plugins in different languages, and the workflows can be easily developed depending on the user's needs."
"It will simplify handling tasks by providing shortcuts and automating the generation of requests and tickets, including their categorization."
"The solution is extremely user-friendly."
"We can create our own profile in BMC Remedy, track how many tickets we've closed on a daily basis, monitor how many SLAs we've escalated, and see how many tickets we've received daily."
"The most valuable feature of BMC Remedy is to take administrative access of a user."
"This product is good because it allows us to receive proper responses to business emails anywhere and anytime. It helps in effective communication with employees. The solution is stable. The product is scalable. The initial setup is straightforward. I recommend BMC Remedy, especially for its automation capabilities."
"It has some good features for tracking. They also have a cloud and a mobile access feature."
"Provides good reports from every asset."
"The solution has an excellent health status feature and a user-friendly interface that contains all necessary information."
"Its functionality is very solid. The best part about it is that, when you have issues in getting information back from nodes, it tells you what the issue is, and you can quickly go to the specific nodes and respond to or repair those. There is an agent option, but to me, as a small business, the preference is to avoid agents where possible because you probably don't have the staff to keep up with them all."
"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 most valuable feature of Lansweeper is that it can gather all the devices online and offline and generate proper IT assets."
"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."
"For Windows needs in terms of asset management, report creation, and detailed information visibility, it is an excellent product."
"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

"The tool can be expensive for mid-market businesses, making it an area that can be considered for improvement by BMC Remedy."
"There is room for improvement in integration with various platforms. The support services should be improved. The response time from the support team should be faster."
"BMC Remedy's change management module needs enhancement."
"BMC Remedy Asset Management could improve by adding intuitive dashboards."
"Areas for improvement include lack of vision, lack of industry-specific solutions, limited workflows compared to ServiceNow, and being restricted to a purely IT perspective, which limits their addressable market."
"The solution must be flexible."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Maybe the network automation aspects need improvement."
"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 Lansweeper, reporting has some glitches. Reporting needs to be more customized as per customer requirements."
"The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."
"Lacks an end-to-end asset management tool."
"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."
"For example, Lansweeper can scan 7-Zip version 7.2, but when a new version 7.3 comes out, Lansweeper shows it as new software, requiring us to manually add this software to the whitelist or change it in reports; it should be counted as the previous version."
"The help desk is not exactly its strong suit."
"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

"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."
"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."
"With the product, you can either go for a yearly or a perpetual licensing model."
"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."
"I find the pricing to be reasonable."
"The product is costly. On one to ten points, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's price as nine."
"The pricing is on the expensive side."
"It is an expensive tool."
"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."
"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 actually costs some money in the long run because of the licensing model."
"It is not high and it is fair according to the worth it offers."
