On-Premise Lansweeper does not include Network Mapping

UVexplorer Bridges the Gap

When it comes to network discovery and IT asset management, Lansweeper is a popular choice among IT professionals. However, organizations deploying Lansweeper in their on-premise environment often encounter a critical limitation: the lack of built-in network mapping capabilities. This shortfall can significantly hinder visibility into network topology, especially in complex environments.

In contrast, Lansweeper’s hosted (cloud) deployment includes network mapping functionality, but being able to deploy this option may not suit every organization due to privacy, security, or compliance requirements. So, what’s the solution for users needing robust network mapping in their on-premise deployment of Lansweeper? The answer is UVexplorer, a specialized tool for network discovery and diagramming that integrates seamlessly with the on-premise version of Lansweeper.

The Network Mapping Challenge with Lansweeper On-Premise

Lansweeper’s on-premise deployment provides extensive IT asset management features, including hardware and software inventory, vulnerability detection, and reporting. However, network mapping—visualizing the connections between devices on your network—is not being developed for on-prem and will not be. Without this feature, IT teams are left with an incomplete picture of their network infrastructure, making it difficult to:

  • Understand relationships between devices.
  • Quickly identify bottlenecks or misconfigurations.
  • Troubleshoot network issues effectively.
  • Prepare for network expansions or migrations.
 

For organizations prioritizing on-premise solutions, this limitation can become a bottleneck for effective IT operations.

Lansweeper Cloud Offers Network Mapping — But at What Cost?

The hosted version of Lansweeper does offer network mapping, but it’s not without trade-offs. Moving to a cloud deployment may introduce concerns about:

  • Data Security: Sensitive network and asset data may be subject to vulnerabilities in cloud storage.
  • Compliance Requirements: Organizations in regulated industries may face challenges meeting compliance standards when data is stored off-site.
  • Cost Implications: Cloud services often include recurring subscription fees that may exceed the budget for some organizations.

For these reasons, many Lansweeper users stick with the on-premise deployment, leaving them in search of complementary solutions to fill the gaps.
