Lansweeper

Una sencilla pero poderosa herramienta

Comentarios: La herramienta funciona muy bien y detecta de manera correcta los equipos, su consola es muy práctiva y amigable. Es una herramienta útil para la gestión de los activos.

Puntos a favor:

Es un software muy sencillo, no es invasivo y no carga algún agente en el dispositivo final. La consola no necesita demasiado recursos para su ejecución y el acceso web permite una fácil administración. Interfaz amigable, gráfica y reportes bastante útiles.

Puntos en contra:

La gestión de tickets es básica, aunque funciona bien.

Lansweeper

Comentarios: One of the simplest technologies to deploy and manage. Asset, software and forensic audits are so much simpler and safes a lot of man hours.

Puntos a favor:

Deployment is easy and simple. This can also be said of the overall management of the software. A very important factor in my line of work is reporting. Lansweeper simplifies this with a whole list of standard reports that can also be used as templates for custom reports. Besides using Lansweeper for asset and software management, we also use it to report on vulnerable applications and assist in some of our internal forensic investigations.

Puntos en contra:

There are currently no SIEM integration. This would be a great feature to integrate with our SOC.

The Perfect Network Map

Comentarios: They have been a solid company to deal with. Licensing is always on time upon renewal date and the software upgrades almost on its own. There are endless amounts of customizing you can do to suit your needs.

Puntos a favor:

I love the ease of scanning our entire network and getting the full spectrum of what we have. When it comes to auditing software and equipment there is no more guess work. I can look at everything from a 10,000ft view or right down to individuals event logs with a few clicks of the mouse. No more jumping over multiple hurdles to troubleshoot a PC any longer.

Puntos en contra:

I wish there was a better way that when a user switches IP addresses that it easily detects the change and can discard the old record. I find myself clearing out multiple assets at times.

A really good starter tool for endpoint management

Comentarios: I recommend this for a small (<2K nodes) single site environment. If they beefed up the deployment tools and added an agent based WOL, this would be a rockstar of a product.

Puntos a favor:

Simple to setup and easy to use. With a little SQL skills you can easily setup dashboards to monitor some critical information, like primary software versions or percentage of total deployment of AV software.

Puntos en contra:

Deployment tools are really weak. Installer logic is very limited with no access to WMI for creating conditions. Deployment packages do not survive reboot (ie multi reboots in a single installation package). Deployment installations are flakey. I can push the same package to a computer and it will fail 3x in a row and successful on the 4th. Tech support is based in UK, so if you are in the States forget phone support. "Software" inventory is based on Add/Remove registry, not file based. Any taught files to scan for are not included in any "Software" reports. They are completely separate

Excellent IT asset management system

Puntos a favor:

Lansweeper provides an asset management system that's full featured and has an efficient & initiative interface.

Puntos en contra:

The cloud service is a significant departure from how Lansweeper operates and does not include the same functionality as on-prem. I understand some lack of feature parity, but it seems like they have made significant design decisions which prevent feature parity from ever being available.
