Great tool with a lot of opportunities
What do you like best about the product?
The GUI is simple and clear, no graphics are loaded, so the frontend is very fast. The database is also well-designed and very fast, although we have thousands of objects. Device42 have a lot of discovery options, a REST-API, agent-based and agentless based OS discovery.
I like very much the remote collectors. Very easy to setup appliances with an automatic update feature. Only open one port and you are able to monitor a whole site.
The guys from the support are always friendly and the answers are really quite fast.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Device42 is our single point of truth. Because of this, D42 is connected to many other of our tools, like Jira and Stackstorm. For example, so we are able to deploy fully automated new virtual machines in seconds.

Great Product in Our Environment
What do you like best about the product?
How everything links together from room layout, to server rack organization, down to all VMs and business applications. Also functions as a password manager bundled in which is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Deleting organization items not as easy as adding them in. Not all options are available upon initial asset entry. Items in room layout cannot overlap and the grid size factor cannot be changed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inventory management, application tracking and management, dependency tracking, password management
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.
Senior Linux Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
Device 42 is by far the easiest to administer of all the CMDB asset tools that we have used. It user interface and robustness are unmatched and pricing is esxtremly attractive
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to communicate expectations clearly to your team.
The solution for stop using excel sheets and documentation bad habits
What do you like best about the product?
The possibility to have in one tool IPAM, IT Asset Management and Datacenter Management
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe could have more widgets in the dashboard with all the information that it collects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- IPAM
- Rack Management, specially if you are not physically in the DC, it will very helpful

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent product to replace the bad habit of using Excel sheets or shared documents that are hard to maintain,
If you have a large number of devices the search bar could help you a lot trying to find an specific hardware, by name, ip, mac address, etc,
The datacenter map including rack view is one of the best features of the tool,
