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.

Lansweeper is performing exceptionally; as soon as it detects something on the network, it immediately adds it to Lansweeper, and the connection between the endpoint and the server is doing a really good job.

What I appreciate best about Lansweeper is the scanning itself, as setting up scanning was relatively easy, and the reporting was comprehensive with numerous different reporting options, including a feature for creating your own reports.

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 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.

We would greatly benefit from the ability to continue software installations and assistance with Windows updates, focusing more on action-oriented features.

I did not use the ITSM tools aspect, which connects to a CMDB, because that was not how I utilized the BMC tool, so I do not have an opinion on how it could 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.

Over the years, while we expanded from tracking around 5,000 to 6,000 computers, the licensing cost increased significantly, going from roughly $300 to about $2,500, which strained our budget as a non-profit healthcare organization.

The disadvantages in comparison to other products are in the ITSM part and the CMDB.

In Vietnam, there's no Lansweeper office, making it difficult to find the right vendor to get the license.
