Win32_Product is broken and can be replaced by fetching it from registry directly like:

Get-ChildItem HKLM:\SOFTWARE\$_\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ | ? {($_.GetValue("DisplayName")) -like "*AappName*"}

OR if you want to have it in remote session using Invoke-Command, then you can do like this:

Invoke-Command -ComputerName Computer1, Computer2 -ScriptBlock {Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | select DisplayName, Publisher, InstallDate }

Note: The credentials also can be passed in the invoke-command else it will consider the windows login user. If you are doing domain wide, then you use Admin creds for this operation.

Hope it helps.

Win32_Product is known to be very slow because it isn't just enumerating the installed applications, but it also checks/repairs the MSI installs:

Event log message indicates that the Windows Installer reconfigured all installed applications
