Lansweeper review

Lansweeper is the discovery specialist on this list. Its scanning engine finds IT devices, OT equipment and cloud resources, and it works without an agent, though an agent is available for laptops that rarely touch the office network. Connectors pull and reconcile records from SCCM, Intune, Airwatch and Google MDM, and the platform collects warranty status automatically. That makes it a strong source of truth to feed a service desk or CMDB, and Lansweeper says it is trusted by more than 30,000 environments. Plans are billed annually: a free tier keeps working for up to 100 assets after a 14-day full trial, Starter and Pro both include 2,000 assets, and Pro scales to 9,000 assets with up to three installations, all integrations and vulnerability and lifecycle insights. The pricing page showed euro amounts from our location, so the USD price is pending. It is less of a workflow tool: checkouts, procurement and license entitlements sit better in a paired ITSM or SAM product.
