Advantages of computer and software inventory done by Lansweeper
Most commercial applications are very expensive and are licensed on a "per device" model. The only limitations of lansweeper are the speed of your server and your bandwidth. By using a free databases like SQL express (or the full MSSQL server) you can make your own queries and reports to enhance the program.
Software inventory problems in other applications:
- You have to install clients (software / agents) on your workstations.
- Scanning is triggered or scheduled at time intervals.
- Laptop users coming into your network only every 2 months aren't scanned.
- Scanning takes a long time.
- You do not get all the information you want from the scans.
- You cannot scan for custom files or registry keys.
Lansweeper solves these network inventory problems with a simple line in the logon script of each user.
The first time somebody logs on at a new computer the computer is automatically scanned and all hardware and software inventory is done.
