We performed a comparison between Lansweeper and ServiceNow based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Asset Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."One valuable feature is the ability to monitor log-on times, providing insights into whether users are rebooting their machines as claimed. This is useful in scenarios where users may not be aware of the need to reboot for system optimization. Lansweeper helps verify such information by collecting log data. Another noteworthy feature is the capability to track CPU, memory, and network usage on workstations at intervals, say every thirty minutes. This allows me to assess the user's experience and validate their claims about resource consumption. For instance, if a user complains about high memory usage, Lansweeper enables me to verify the actual usage and address the issue accurately. This level of monitoring granularity is something I find particularly useful and haven't seen in many other tools."
"Provides good reports from every asset."
"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."
"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."
"Lansweeper is very easy to use, and its technical support is very good."
"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."
"It is very flexible and very powerful. The reporting scripts that are continually posted are a real benefit. It makes it easier for someone who is a consumer, but not necessarily a power user, to quickly create and run reports, get updates, and know what tasks need to be performed."
"Good stable and scalable solution."
"Discovery has reduced, on average, the time to build/deploy devices within our environment by one hour. This may not seem like much but it adds up over time. It also reaps additional time savings with its ability to capture changes through subsequent discoveries over the life of the device."
"The biggest feature is that it is cloud-based, so it's always updated, it's always current. We don't have to worry about patches, revisions. We're always working with the latest version."
"ServiceNow is a cloud solution. That fact was very important for us, that it is not an on-prem solution, as it reduces our internal cost of support."
"It has an excellent capability to integrate different access points."
"The solution integrates well with other products."
"It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good."
"It is robust and very user-friendly."
"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."
"The support is an area that could improve. The support staff could be more knowledgeable."
"It would be great if Lansweeper could combine security functions like vulnerability management."
"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."
"Lacks an end-to-end asset management tool."
"The feature to deploy software in endpoints needs to be improved."
"If you have advanced questions, technical support often doesn't know the answer."
"There should be greater integration with other enterprise applications. We're using Microsoft, Oracle, and other applications, and it would be good to have a greater integration on some of the immediate hiccups that you have with these services. It doesn't mean that when we have a problem with using another application, ServiceNow should be able to fix it, but ServiceNow should be able to alert us to things. There should be a bit more automation or integration."
"Where it could be improved is Discovery. This may sound odd since I just praised the value of ServiceNow Discovery, but improvements to its automatic detection, the breadth of devices, and the depth of devices covered, as well as keeping up with new technologies, are all essential."
"The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly."
"It's missing monitoring capabilities."
"I would like to see a mobile version of ServiceNow."
"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."
"Performance could be improved."
