Lansweeper is delighted to announce the availability of our new IT Agent, which can retrieve user information for MacOS devices. See our product release here.
IT Agent Discovery offers a range of advantages compared to other scanning agents, including:
- Direct Discovery Results: IT Agent is able to transmit discovery results directly to your Lansweeper Site, eliminating the need for a Lansweeper On-premises scan server.
- Cross-Platform Auto-Updates: IT Agent can automatically update Windows, Linux, and macOS machines, expanding beyond the Windows-only auto-update capability of LsAgent.
- Expanded Device Data: IT Agent gathers comprehensive data on devices, including additional information like user details on macOS. This enriched dataset is mapped within your Lansweeper Site, providing enhanced visibility of your network.
- Silent Installation Across Platforms: IT Agent supports silent deployment on Windows, Linux, and macOS. This empowers administrators to implement the agent seamlessly, minimizing disruptions to end-users. In contrast, LsAgent restricts silent installs to Windows.
- Reduced Vulnerability Risk: IT Agent for Windows, built on .NET 6.0, mitigates vulnerability risks in comparison to LsAgent for Windows.
