Lansweeper
Agentless IT asset discovery and CMDB enrichment platform
Lansweeper scans and catalogs every IT, OT, and IoT asset across an enterprise network within hours using agentless discovery — delivering a complete, always-current CMDB without manual data entry.
SWOT Analysis
- Agentless discovery covers IT, OT, IoT, and cloud assets without deploying endpoint agents
- Comprehensive asset inventory including hardware specs, installed software, users, and relationships
- Cloud Scanning Hub enables agentless cloud asset discovery across AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Integration-ready: direct connectors to ServiceNow, Jira, Microsoft, and security tools
- Strong community: 90,000+ users with an extensive plugin library for custom data sources
- CMDB enrichment for ServiceNow and Jira customers seeking automated, accurate asset data
- OT/IoT convergence: enterprise security requiring visibility into operational technology assets
- Cybersecurity asset management: feeding asset intelligence into vulnerability management workflows
- Automated CMDB reconciliation replacing manual spreadsheet-based inventory tracking
- Primarily a discovery and CMDB tool — requires integration with ITSM for full service management
- UI modernization still in progress; reporting module less polished than modern SaaS alternatives
- OT and IoT discovery depth less specialized than dedicated OT security tools (Claroty, Dragos)
- Complex licensing for large environments with multiple scanning nodes and cloud integrations
- Axonius and Armis competing with agent-based and network-based asset intelligence platforms
- ServiceNow CMDB auto-discovery reducing need for third-party tools in ServiceNow-centric orgs
- Microsoft Intune and SCCM providing endpoint visibility for Windows-centric environments
- CrowdStrike Asset Graph and similar security-led asset management replacing IT-led tooling
User Sentiment
Synthesized from G2, Gartner Peer Insights, and analyst review data.
- Agentless discovery scans entire network without touching endpoints — zero deployment overhead
- Discovers assets IT didn't know existed: rogue devices, legacy hardware, abandoned software
- Strong community plugin library extends data collection to virtually any device type
- Integrates cleanly with ServiceNow CMDB to keep configuration items current automatically
- Reporting and dashboard customization less intuitive than modern BI-integrated alternatives
- Initial scan configuration complex for large, segmented enterprise networks
- Licensing model for cloud scanning and multiple sites can add up unexpectedly
