1.)Automated Asset Discovery Across Complex Environments
Many of our clients manage hybrid IT environments, including on-premises infrastructure, cloud resources, and IoT devices. Lansweeper’s agentless scanning capabilities have allowed these organizations to automatically discover 100% of IT assets—including hardware, software, network devices, and virtual machines—without relying on manual interventions.
Example: A retail customer (Alshaya) operating across multiple countries was struggling to track laptops, mobile devices, and POS systems across stores. Lansweeper enabled automated discovery and real-time inventory updates, which reduced the time spent on manual asset tracking by 70%.
Outcome: Improved visibility and control across distributed environments, ensuring nothing goes unnoticed.
2.)Detecting and Mitigating Rogue Assets
Unapproved devices accessing corporate networks pose significant risks. Lansweeper’s continuous network passive scanning and alerts have allowed customers to identify rogue devices, such as unauthorized laptops or shadow IT applications, that could otherwise go undetected. Example:
One of our banking clients discovered 30+ rogue IP cameras connected to their network that bypassed security protocols. The cameras were detected during a scheduled Lansweeper scan, prompting immediate action to isolate them and update security policies.
Outcome: Ensured compliance with security policies and minimized the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access.
Outcome:Ensured compliance with security policies and minimized the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access.
3.) Optimizing IT Costs Through License Management
Lansweeper’s ability to scan installed software and licensing information has enabled customers to optimize costs by identifying unused or underutilized software licenses. It also helps organizations avoid penalties by ensuring compliance with licensing agreements.
Example:
A logistics company using multiple Adobe and Microsoft licenses discovered through Lansweeper that nearly 20% of licenses were inactive. This insight enabled them to reallocate licenses more efficiently and avoid unnecessary renewals.
Outcome:
Saved the organization approximately $50,000 annually by optimizing software subscriptions and licenses.
