Atlas vs Lansweeper
Atlas and Lansweeper: discovery or cost control
Lansweeper finds what is on your network; Atlas tells you what it costs and which property pays for it. Lansweeper is licensed by asset count and built around agentless discovery. Atlas is licensed per property per year and built around contracts, budgets and chargeback across a portfolio. Atlas is built by Sulayo, a Dubai product studio.
What is Lansweeper actually for?
Lansweeper is a discovery and inventory platform. Its central capability is scanning a network and building an accurate picture of the devices, operating systems, installed software and configurations on it, largely without agents. Lansweeper licenses by asset count, with a free tier at 100 assets and paid tiers starting at a 2,000-asset package, and it does not publish a per-asset price on its pricing page. If the question is "what is actually on our network, and are we sure", Lansweeper is a direct answer to it.
What does Atlas do that Lansweeper does not?
Atlas answers the financial question rather than the technical one. Atlas holds the contract covering an asset, the budget paying for it, the property that owns it and the renewal date that is about to commit the group to another year, and it allocates shared IT cost across properties by rooms, by asset count or evenly. Atlas is licensed per property per year, so the bill scales with the size of the portfolio rather than with how many devices got discovered, which matters in hospitality where a single hotel can carry thousands of network endpoints.
Where Lansweeper is genuinely stronger
Lansweeper's discovery is deeper than anything Atlas does, and that is not a close call. Lansweeper will scan a network and tell you about hardware you did not know you had, down to installed software versions and configuration detail, which is exactly the capability a security or compliance team needs. Atlas assumes you can tell it what you own. If the estate is genuinely unknown, or if the driver is vulnerability and patch visibility rather than cost, Lansweeper is the better tool, and some groups sensibly run both.

Questions people ask
Is Atlas a Lansweeper alternative?
For a multi-property group whose problem is cost, contracts and chargeback, yes. For an organisation whose problem is not knowing what is on the network, no, because Atlas does not do agentless discovery and Lansweeper's whole design is built around it. The two tools answer different questions that are often confused because both are called asset management.
Why does pricing per property beat pricing per asset for a hotel group?
Because a hotel's asset count is enormous relative to its IT budget. Guest room televisions, door locks, access points and handhelds all count as assets, so asset-based licensing can price a mid-size group into a tier it does not need for a system it uses lightly. A property is the unit hotel groups budget in, so per-property pricing is predictable and defensible at the point somebody has to approve it.
Can Atlas and Lansweeper be used together?
Yes, and for a large estate that is often the sensible answer: Lansweeper for discovery and technical inventory, Atlas for contracts, budgets, chargeback and the board-level view. Sulayo would rather say that than pretend Atlas replaces a discovery engine it does not contain.
Does Atlas do software licence management?
Atlas tracks licences as a commercial object: what is owned, what it costs, when it renews, which property is charged for it and whether it is being used. Atlas does not audit installed software on endpoints the way a discovery tool does, so it will tell you a licence is going to waste based on the records you keep, not based on scanning a machine.
