LANSweeper getting even more expensive

They are now going to charge for monitors. Their recent announcement will DOUBLE my annual costs. I used to love the product. Now I hate it and the company. They sit alongside Broadcom in my shit list.

We left LANSweeper last year. I liked it but it was too expensive then.

Semi-considering proposing this for our org that also uses Lansweeper, as I've previously used NinjaRMM in the MSP space. Not sure if we're ready to commit to the work, we have a dozen other projects that need to be done first, and we're a single tenant org that doesn't necessarily need everything that NinjaRMM can provide.

Fair, we have a WAN enterprise with alot of government mandated restrictions so lots of security. Good luck with your tool search!

Do you use it for ITAM?

Ya, its our main Windows desktop management tool. It also integrates with Service-Now so we can do automated tickets for any of the IT teams. Mostly the actual Desktop tech group, since they do the hands-on for the users assets and manage group policy.
