Most commercial applications are very expensive and are licensed on a per device model. The only limitations of lansweeper are the speed of your server and your bandwidth. By using a free databases like SQL express (or the full MSSQL server) you can make your own queries and reports to enhance the program.

Software inventory problems in other applications:
- You have to install clients (software / agents) on your workstations.
- Scanning is triggered or scheduled at time intervals.
- Laptop users coming into your network only every 2 months aren't scanned.
- Scanning takes a long time.
- You do not get all the information you want from the scans.
- You cannot scan for custom files or registry keys.
- Lansweeper solves these network inventory problems with a simple line in the logon script of each user.
- The first time somebody logs on at a new computer the computer is automatically scanned and all hardware and software inventory is done.

Lansweeper is scanning much more useful information than other programs:

- User data, pictures, groups, logon times, ...
- All hardware information you could ever need
- All installed software, patches and available licenses
- All computer configuration information
- All windows configuration information
- All Active Directory user and computer details
- All running processes
- Custom registry keys that you specify
- Custom file version and other information
- Internet Explorer addons, bars, BHO's and activeX controls
