Before you start discovering your IT inventory it’s important to understand what our different solutions have to offer. We have listed the most important features you can expect in our two distinct platforms.

Lansweeper Sites allows you to manage your IT inventory completely from the cloud.

Some key features Lansweeper Sites offers are:

  • Installation federation
  • Access to your assets from anywhere
  • Advanced permission and scope system

ª Local tracking using IT Agent: Windows, Linux and macOS. 
Remote discovery (Windows, Linux and macOS): On Linux, Windows discovery is limited to Credential-free Device Recognition (CDR). Full data discovery (software, user info, ...) is planned but not yet available and will require remote WinRM on Windows assets. 
Active Directory discovery is not supported on Linux sensors due to connectivity incompatibilities with domain controllers.

Local tracking using LsAgent: Windows, Linux and macOS
Remote scanning: Windows only

Currently in beta; you might see duplicates if you're also using Lansweeper On-prem scanning in your site. No duplicates if you're only using Network, IT Agent, or Cloud Discovery.

Unique assets in combination with Lansweeper Discovery: planned by Q3 2025.
Already available via beta; sign up for the Network Discovery beta.

Unique assets in combination with Lansweeper Discovery: planned by Q4 2025, beta not available yet.
