Virima vs Lansweeper
Most IT discovery tools can tell you what’s on your network. What matters more is what happens next, turning that data into service context, change visibility, and operational intelligence.
This comparison covers Virima and Lansweeper across IT discovery, service mapping, and operational intelligence.
Both platforms offer agentless and agent-based discovery. Where they diverge is what’s built on top. Lansweeper delivers broad asset inventory, but no native CMDB, service maps, ITSM overlays, or change impact analysis. Virima goes further: a native CMDB built and kept current from live discovery, ViVID™ service maps from live CI relationships, and change impact analysis with blast radius before change windows.
Lansweeper tells your AI agent what’s on the network. Virima tells it what’s
at stake.
— PLATFORM PROFILES
Understanding Each Platform
Virima
Discovery-Sourced Operational Intelligence
Multi-source discovery across hybrid IT environments, with a native CMDB, ViVID™ service maps, and change impact analysis built on live discovery data.
STRENGTHS
- Multi-method discovery: agentless IP scanning, agent-based, credential-based probing, and API integrations with hypervisors, cloud platforms, and network devices
- A native CMDB, built and kept current from live discovery, not a separate database you have to license and populate yourself
- ViVID™ service maps built automatically from live CI relationships
- Live ITSM context on service maps: open incidents, pending changes, and recently completed changes
- Change Impact Analysis and blast radius visibility before change windows
- Bi-directional integrations: ServiceNow, Ivanti, Halo, Jira Service Management, Xurrent, Hornbill, and TeamDynamix
- First dependency map in under 60 minutes
LIMITATIONS
No DCIM (data center infrastructure management) capabilities
Smaller partner ecosystem than ServiceNow
Lansweeper
IT Asset Discovery and Inventory
Agentless and agent-based discovery for hardware and software inventory across on-premises, cloud, and remote environments. Application dependency mapping available via Redjack (acquired July 2025, separate add-on).
STRENGTHS
- Agentless IP scanning across Windows, Mac, Linux, and network devices
- Agent-based discovery — Windows, Linux, and macOS (GA Nov 2025)
- Off-network and remote device discovery via IT Agent
- Cloud asset discovery across AWS, Azure, and GCP
- Hardware and software inventory
- End-of-life and end-of-support alerts
- Vulnerability data via Risk Insights module
- Multi-site / multi-tenant support
LIMITATIONS
Application dependency mapping requires Redjack (separate add-on; full platform integration planned 2026)
No ITSM context overlay on maps — incidents, changes, and vulnerabilities not surfaced on service views
No change impact analysis or blast radius analysis tied to ITSM records
No native CMDB. Lansweeper feeds a separate CMDB that you license and maintain yourself.
CI relationship mapping limited to device level in core platform
ServiceNow connector is one-way only (no bi-directional ITSM sync)

Lansweeper pricing is changing. What does that mean for your renewal?
Lansweeper updated its price list for new subscriptions on October 5, 2026. If you’re weighing options ahead of your renewal, Virima includes a native CMDB and ViVID™ service maps in one platform, with no separate add-on modules for either.

What our customers are saying
Finally, a CMDB that Delivers on its Promise
“We use VIRIMA as our CMDB software to gather information from all our network devices such as servers, desktops, and laptops. The Discovery part of the software is very intuitive and works perfectly. We use it to manage and track assets.”

— Common questions
Virima vs
Lansweeper
What are the key differences between Virima and Lansweeper?
Both Virima and Lansweeper offer IT asset discovery, but they differ significantly in integration depth, service mapping capability, and operational context. Virima differentiates through four specific capabilities Lansweeper does not currently offer: a native CMDB included in the platform, ViVID™ service mapping with live IT Service Management (ITSM) overlays, bi-directional integrations with ServiceNow, Ivanti, Halo, Jira Service Management, Xurrent, Hornbill, and TeamDynamix, and a Trusted Runtime Truth framework built for agentic IT operations. Virima also bundles discovery, Configuration Management Database (CMDB), ViVID™ service mapping, and IT Asset Management (ITAM) into a single platform — without the additional licensing costs Lansweeper typically requires for equivalent capability.
Why does only Virima offer ViVID™?
How do the pricing models differ?
Is Virima cheaper than Lansweeper?
Virima’s per-asset pricing is comparable to Lansweeper. The difference is what you get at that price point. Lansweeper charges separately for add-ons like application dependency mapping (via Redjack). Virima includes service mapping, a native CMDB, and bi-directional ITSM integrations in the core platform, so teams that need those capabilities typically pay less overall with Virima than by stacking Lansweeper modules, or sourcing a CMDB separately.
Which solution provides better integration with existing IT systems?
Virima provides out-of-the-box bi-directional integrations with ServiceNow, Ivanti, Halo, Jira Service Management, Xurrent, Hornbill, and TeamDynamix. These integrations push discovered CI and relationship data into your ITSM platform and pull live incident and change records back into ViVID™ — giving your team operational intelligence on top of the service dependency map, not just asset data alongside it. Lansweeper offers a one-way ServiceNow connector and does not provide bi-directional ITSM integration.
What support options are available for Virima?
High-touch technical support is included with every subscription. Business Pro adds three hours of guided implementation services, and Enterprise adds a dedicated Implementation Success Manager and White Glove Concierge Service. Together they ensure a rapid time to value.
What should I compare when Lansweeper comes up for renewal?
Both platforms discover your assets well, so the differences are in the rest of the experience. Compare ease of implementation, the support you get, total cost, and the value you get for it. After discovery, Virima adds a native CMDB and ViVID™ service maps. The Business Pro plan includes both, along with discovery, asset management, and vulnerability insights, starting at $4,740 per year for 2,000 assets. It also comes with bi-directional ITSM integrations out of the box and flexible deployment options. High-touch technical support and three hours of guided implementation services ensure a rapid time to value. Add up what your current tools cost and what it takes to run them, then compare.
What is the migration path from Lansweeper to Virima?
Migrating from Lansweeper to Virima does not require a cutover. Virima can run alongside Lansweeper during a transition period — discovery runs in parallel, and your CMDB is populated with Virima data. Once you are satisfied that Virima’s discovery coverage meets your needs, you decommission Lansweeper on your own timeline. Virima’s bi-directional ITSM integrations mean your ServiceNow or other ITSM data flows are redirected to Virima without rebuilding your workflows from scratch. Contact us for specifics on how existing Lansweeper records are handled during the transition period.
