Fing Security vs Lansweeper

Fing Security checks routers and networks for vulnerabilities, open ports, and threats. Scheduled router checks look for known vulnerabilities, outdated firmware, DNS hijacking risks, and exposed management interfaces. It can alert users when an unknown device joins and show that device's brand, model, and type. Fing also scans connected Wi-Fi networks for cameras and spy devices using a database of over 12 million known camera models. Fing Agent can run on Raspberry Pi, Docker, or NAS for ongoing automated checks. Home Assistant, IFTTT, and the Fing Local API support presence data, network events, and custom automation. The maker identifies IT consultants, MSPs, and small businesses as users for client audits and security monitoring. The free plan allows up to three scans per day; scheduled vulnerability scans and continuous threat detection require a subscription. Premium costs $7.99 per month and Professional costs $16.99 per month. Fing Desktop is available for Windows and macOS, but not currently Linux. Fing says it is SOC 2 Type II certified.

Lansweeper is Cyber Asset Intelligence software for organizations seeking visibility into their technology environments. It discovers IT, operational technology, cloud, and virtual assets, including unmanaged and rogue assets. Discovery can be agentless, with an IT Agent available for situations such as work-from-home environments. Inventory tools include data federation, normalization, classification, cleanup rules, dashboards, and generated diagrams. Lansweeper also provides vulnerability insights and flags software or assets that are at or approaching end of life. The platform offers a GraphQL API, webhooks, marketplace integrations, and a Flow Builder for custom workflows. Starter limits integrations to Service Desk ticket enrichment and has limited API features; Pro and Enterprise include marketplace apps, while full API access is in Enterprise. Lansweeper offers cloud-first Lansweeper Sites and on-premise Lansweeper Classic. Its cloud service uses TLS in transit, AES-256 at rest, encrypted credential storage, and logical customer-data separation. The free plan covers up to 100 assets. A 14-day trial provides access to all features without a credit card. Starter costs $199 a month billed annually; Pro costs $379 a month billed annually.
