Lansweeper vs Snow Atlas

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.

Snow Atlas is Flexera’s cloud platform for IT asset management teams seeking a defensible software license position and lower software spend. It matches entitlements with applied licenses to calculate an effective license position, with verified data for Oracle Database, Java, E-Business Suite, and Middleware. Agents, APIs, and connectors consolidate hardware and software assets, while AI-based importing can ingest contracts and records such as invoices, purchase orders, and quotes. Its application catalog normalizes and enriches more than 800,000 applications from over 110,000 manufacturers. Usage metering can surface software use across an estate, including shadow IT, SaaS, and unsanctioned applications. Hardware management adds lifecycle and warranty visibility, plus mappings to users and applications. Read and write REST APIs support automation and bulk updates. Snow Atlas runs on Microsoft Azure, with customer-selectable regions listed in Amsterdam, London, Victoria, and Virginia. Flexera lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/ISE 27001, and Cloud Security Alliance STAR certifications. It is paid, with pricing available on request and no free plan listed.
