User Testimonials
	Device42	Lansweeper
Likelihood to Recommend	Device42 is very easy to use, configure and install on multiple devices without experiencing any technical or difficulty errors. Simple and effective User Interface that is very attractive and easy to navigate in search of any asset management data. like it offers variety of licensing models from which we can choose what we want. Incentivized Douglas Carter Technical Manager Read full review	Because of its slowdown as we have acquired more equipment, I think LANSweeper may be better suited for smaller environments. We have 3000+ users and over 1500 devices on our WAN. It has shown considerable performance issues as we have grown. Maybe moving it to a full blown SQL instance will make things a bit better. But as it stands, it has gotten tiresome waiting for it to update and refresh. Incentivized Michael Metalios I.T. Administrator Read full review
Pros	Device42 can discover physical and virtual servers as well as your network devices Device42 can give resource utilization details like CPU, Memory and Storage Device42 can give dependency mapping Device42 can give inbound and outbound communication details Device42 can create Affinity Groups (Move Groups) Device42 can recommend the Cloud platform to which you can migrate your infrastructure. Incentivized DP Deepak Pund Technical Support Engineer Read full review	Lansweeper is grabbing lots of data from the machines without slowing the network and the client machines. We can easily get all the installed software data, hardware and linked hardware and all the user you can grab from the AD (computer and user). Lansweeper can now scan Windows, Mac and Linux with an agent installed (or not if you want that the server is the one pulling the data). The web interface is really friendly user and offers lots of possibilities to personalize your dashboard as you see fit. Reports engine is really powerful and easy to monitor your machines and also your security issues. Incentivized Jean-François Hallée Analyste en informatique Read full review
Cons	UI/UX is not up to the standards. Can't mass update everything. No export option for the sub components that have changed linked to the device they are assigned to Plugins options are limited Sometimes randomly times out my login forcing me to log in again. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Ease of use - pushing software can be a complicated process. Detecting assets sometimes means going to each machine on opening ports on the firewall. Reporting can be hard to figure out but you can ask on their forum. I find that a lot of my questions already have been asked. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	The price to function scale is so far towards function it would be stupid to get rid of it Incentivized Mike Hempel Linux Administrator Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Lansweeper offers a variety of customer support options (including KBs for self-serve and get in touch with them via email), and most importantly, it's a matter of dialing within their allotted supporting time frames. However, I always make sure to provide the following information: - Screenshots of the issue (if available). - Program Files (x86)/Lansweeper/Service/Errorlog.txt, as present on your Lansweeper server. - If it exists, the error log present in Program Files (x86)/Lansweeper/Website/App_Data.

Return on Investment	We use it for the mass updates. Because of which we save lots of time It helps in making everything documented With this system you can get any information about the location of the device, connected cables, additional information and statuses. Inventory Management Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I would consider that ROI has been achieved - it wasn't expensive. However, Spiceworks could have done the same for free. Too much manual intervention. Not strong beyond basic Microsoft products so we had to keep an eye on everything. Great sniffer of hardware on the network including switches, routers, printers. Lack of features that are essential for enterprise ITAM. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
