Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for Lansweeper yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“my default recommendation would be Lansweeper if you want the best balance of hardware discovery, software inventory, and ease of rollout” GPT-5.4 mini · ITAM · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“The Best for Deep Discovery & Simplicity: Lansweeper ... frequently rated the highest for mid-market organizations.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · ITAM · direct prompt · first choice
“Lansweeper is a top recommendation due to its balance of automation, accuracy, and ease of use.” Mistral Small · ITAM · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Start with Spiceworks or Lansweeper's free tier — they're free and require minimal setup” MiniMax M2.5 · ITAM · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Red flags: Dated UI; rigid reporting; no native physical asset support... Strong for agentless scanning otherwise.” Grok 4.1 Fast · ITAM · negative prompt · soft negative
“It may be overkill for very small teams and is not ideal if your main need is basic manual tracking” Perplexity Sonar · ITAM · negative prompt · soft negative
“Free up to 100 assets | Excellent discovery, but scales to paid (~$1/asset/year)” Grok 4.1 Fast · ITAM · budget prompt · soft negative
“good product, but it's usually better when you have a bit more budget” GPT-5.4 mini · ITAM · budget prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Lansweeper. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 91 of the 112 answers that named Lansweeper and are not a share of its labels.

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Lansweeper's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Lansweeper, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at lansweeper.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
