What Lanview Is Not
Lanview is a local Windows device management and administration product. Understanding what it is not helps administrators plan the other systems and controls they may still need.
Not cloud-hosted device management
Lanview is designed around Lanview Server, Lanview Studio, Lanview Client and Lanview Agent components running in the customer environment. It is not presented as a cloud-hosted management service.
Not a replacement for directory services
Lanview roles, permissions and audit controls apply inside Lanview. They do not replace directory services, Windows security groups, Group Policy or identity lifecycle tools.
Not a full Mobile Device Management platform
Lanview manages Windows devices through Lanview Client. It is not described as a full Mobile Device Management platform for phones, tablets or operating systems outside the supported Lanview Client scope.
Not a full vulnerability scanner
Lanview includes security posture and inventory-related features, but it should not be treated as a full vulnerability assessment product unless that capability is documented for the installed version.
Not a Security Information and Event Management system
Lanview records audit events for Lanview administration and management activity. It does not replace a dedicated Security Information and Event Management system for organisation-wide event collection, correlation and alerting.
Not a remote support subscription service
Lanview includes Lanview-native remote support and can work with Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol configuration, but it is not a third-party remote support subscription service.
Not a secrets manager
Lanview should not be used as a password, key or secrets manager. Keep secrets out of commands, scripts, package examples, audit reasons and support material.
Not a bypass tool
Lanview is not a tool for bypassing Windows permissions, Lanview permissions or audit. Administrative actions should be performed by authorised users through supported Lanview interfaces and commands.
