Great product with excellence support!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the clear structure of Device42.
In addition, I like that it is very easy to work with IP addresses. (Much better than with Excel sheets or something else)
Devices are also designed to make it very easy. these can be cloned from the hardware very well.
I additionally like the ease of managing users. This can be easily controlled through Active Directory (AD).

What do you dislike about the product?
it takes some time to fully understand Device42. So you have to plan more time for the beginning to understand the whole features and possibilities.
Sometimes the system is not the fastest, which slows down the work.
In addition, I would design the power layout differently. The current view is not very clear.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We keep our entire infrastructure in Device42. It's also linked to a CMDB.
We have replaced our documentation with Device42. Now we can look up everything centrally. We had the problem that too often there was wrong information in the old files.

Device42 Newbie
What do you like best about the product?
We are just getting started with using Device42 but so far it has been very easy to pick up and run with. We can give it entire subnets to scan and just sit back and watch it discover the environment.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest complaint so far is how it seemingly randomly times out my login forcing me to log in again. I eventually found the setting to extend the default timeout so time will tell if that fixes the issue or not.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem we're trying to solve is application dependency. In our effort to move to the cloud we need to make sure no pieces of the puzzle get left behind.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to read through the documentation because it is pretty thorough and helpful.

The only issue i have is and it may be just with me as i find it difficult to find accurate information on the api. They may be do to the continued upgrade and improvments device 42 roles out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We didn't have a automatic way to inventory and place infrastructure in and out of service. This tool allowed for quick and easy discovery with excellent reporting that allowed us to save a ton of infrastructure costs based on system that were powered on but forgotten or under utiliezed.
