- Lifecycles. From the moment of purchase of equipment to its disposal

The Room, Rack, and Device model layouts are some of the best features in Device 42. Very much a lightweight Visio for building server rooms, cable diagrams, and rack elevation diagrams for ones IT companies.

The UI is a bit dated, lacks modern graphic elements like one we need for a pure data center operations.

Device42 is a solution which has issued us with ways to manage and facilitate all the IT infrastructures in a company. In case of a problem to any one of them, the developer issues an alarm.

Device42 conducts a quick scan on all the IT related infrastructures, be them hardware or software.
Also, Device42 ensures there is easy maintenance, and replacement.

Device42 is a sensitive application, which requires some expertise, and knowledge. Probably, users training can be effective.

I had a good experience using Device42 - i would recommend it mostly due to its customizability + its support staff.

I like how customizable and versatile of an infrastructure platform Device42 is. The support is better than its peers.

It can feel slow at times/somewhat laggy, due to how central it is.

The UI is a major con - and not only for documenting but also usage.

I was hesitant at first to make the move from my current IT system. The free trial put my mind at ease and made it an easy decision.

That is was able to integrate with my current IT infrastructures with ease.

I have yet to run into a con, I was thankful for the chat option on the website if I ever had an issue. The customer service team made it easy.

Very easy to use compared to some of its competitor's platforms and software. The auto-discovery function is great in pulling everything into the system by itself, saving countless hours of work! The pricing is also very affordable and the platform is easy to use.

-Phenomenal asset discovery tool that can assist any IT department.
-Affordable pricing, and very easy to use.
-Ability to quickly discover asset and applications installed.
-Excellent integration with existing systems such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure.

Overall, the application provides auto discovery after which the optimized use of all the devices possible which leads to less power consumption and better coordination between devices.

Managing all the software and hardware present in the organization was never this easy.
I have been using this to manage the access of all my devices and monitoring them.
Features like auto discovery, tracking of components of infrastructure is seamless because of the user interface.

Some cons of the Device42 i came across is price of the software and the time it takes to get used to the vast features that is available.

Overall experience is very good. I always recommend this application to others. I know it's not free but there is a free trial available.

Device 42 is very good for IT asset management and checking also.
It is very easy to use and their implementation is also very easy.
They provides great support to users.

Personally I never noticed any big or serious cons. But in my opinion there is only one con. i.e- It is not free.

If you have a medium to a large-sized datacenter you definitely need to try Device42 to upgrade from the old excel based tracking and management.It can be a great productivity booster.

- Very capable and scalable software. Can be rolled out over hundreds of devices in a very small span of time.
- Excellent support. They always get back to you and even work on features that you request.
- A very good set of integrations

- Documentation can definitely be improved to be on par with the changing features.

Probably one of the most comprehensive DCIMS products out there, and the auto-scanning, inventory, and device associations make it easy to get a lot of details about what you have and what it's connected to.

The interface, documentation, and usability all have the feel of "Does it work? OK, good enough." without ever thinking about whether the user experience encourages people to use it more or integrate it into their workflow.

We rely on it, and it is pretty effective, but no one enjoys using it, and I'm positive we'd get more ROI if it were pleasant to set up and use.

Auto-inventory is very thorough;
Device association is fantastic (e.g. MAC-IP-device-host-switch-dns);
Support is responsive;
Tons of features and integrations;

Interface is dated and very basic;
Licensing model requires you to keep paying for decommissioned devices to preserve details about them;
Adding disconnected devices (e.g. undeployed inventory) is frustrating; Documentation is poor (making the many features hard to actually use);
