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.

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.

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.

Make sure to communicate expectations clearly to your team.

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,

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.
