Device42 - New Generation Discovery Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Easy configuration and easy job scheduling. Good reporting. Good graphical view of portal.The tool is easily configurable and easily accessible.There are lot of options available for getting the infrastructure details. You can do the infrastructure as well as Network discovery using Device42 tool. It also has a feature to monitor infrastructure Resource Utilization which is helpful in predicting the required VM size on cloud. Also it can be integrated with Azure cloud for doing the Assessment. The DOQL utility is very helpful to run the scripts to get different types of reports from your discovery. The best part is they have very good support people and they provide best support in less time
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool is getting updated frequently and sometime you need to update the version of your tool on the fly to resolve the bugs or issues occurring in discovery. The Remote Collector and Main Appliance Log Bundle sizes grow very fast which become hard to find the errors in them and upload them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We get a summarized reports for customer environments by doing the discovery. Migration from on-prem to cloud becomes easy by doing discovery and assessment. We have done the infrastructure discovery for four customers using this tool. We have also done the network discovery for clients which gives details of customer network devices as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a best tool for Device discovery of your infrastructure. Also it can give the information regarding your network devices as well. Along with it have a new option of Resource Utilization. So you can get the resource utilization details as well using this device and can easily predict the VM size for Cloud. The company has very good support. The support people are very friendly and provide very best support in less time.
My experience in Device 42
What do you like best about the product?
I like Device42 because of automating data center management with a variety of auto-discovery tools for network, physical, or virtual infrastructures and easily manage IT spare parts hardware inventory.

Auto-discovery can be difficult to implement depending on the complexity of the environment but the addition of remote collectors has definitely helped.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All Equipment are discoverd via Device42.

Presentation materials for the marketing strategy.
Administrating device42 for the last 4 years as our private cloud main source of true

What do you dislike about the product?
device42 server is one appliance server and by that, it can get very loaded in case of too many API calls or too many activities on it at the same time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Device42 data is our private cloud data replication. the data we get via reports and/or via scripts (Rest API) is our source of truth to manage our cloud and a very real-time data.
that regards to capacity management, getting data per every aspect in our cloud servers and components.

Very much recommending device42 as one tool to administrator data centers
User Friendly & Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
Device 42 is so for the easiest and quickest infrastructure discovery deployment software i have ever seen in discovery and configuration management space. Its cutting edge features and capabilities created to handle Infrastructure Planning and Migrations are awesome.
What do you dislike about the product?
As there is continuous development going on to improve the capabilities of the tool, sometimes its getting difficult to understand the changes happening from version to version. I believe creating a release notes to its users for every release and with every download helps to understand the changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have used Device 42 for different types of client deployments (Tool based, Script based, Agent based) to collect the most accurate and complete Infrastructure data.

What do you dislike about the product?
The topology diagrams should be more presentable and you cannnot download all diagrams at one click. You need to open each device then you can download the diagram one by one. Few reports like service dependency reports are huge in size. We should get separate queries for fetchign inbound and outbound reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Its easier to get server utilization reorts and to find out server dependencies. You will get exact details like by using which port server its communicating, what dependecy server should go along while moving the particular application server.

An impressive product with very good technical support
What do you like best about the product?
The product has a broad level of functionality in comparison to other CMDB implementations. However, the fact that the technical support was so efficient is hugely important given that tying in a CMDB to existing systems can be technically challenging.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be that I'm not familiar enough with the product, but initially my concern would be around the presentation of the information to less technically proficient personnel. In other words, content of the CMDB would likely be useful to business staff and I therefore need an acceptable way to visualise the information in manner that can be consumed by slightly less technically minded people.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am still doing a technical evaluation of the product but the primary benefit will be to understand the impact of change and outages on services. Having a centralised view of our infrastructure better positions us to do this.
Great product
What do you like best about the product?
Very comprehensive, but also very easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
Could do with a few more templates when editing cabinets
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to keep track of everything within our DC environments
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth a go
