## Reviews

### "A Valuable CMDB Tool for Asset Discovery and Management" — 4.0/5

> **Ifediora** | *25 May 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I like most about Device42 is its strong automated discovery, accurate CMDB visibility, and clear dependency mapping. It helps reduce manual effort by automatically discovering infrastructure assets and relationships, while giving IT teams a centralized view of on-prem and cloud environments. Its ease of use, visualization, asset management, and integration capabilities make it especially valuable for maintaining an accurate CMDB and supporting operational decision-making.
> 
> **Cons**: A few. Given that it is a relatively new tool in the market, there are capabilities it does not have, like under the Device Ignore Rules feature, there is no option to exclude devices based on their aliases. Sometimes, it takes a while for a much-needed feature to be introduced.
> 
> Overall, my experience with Device42 as a CMDB tool has been excellent. I believe my organization is getting great value for money compared to other costly CMDB tools available on the market.

### "very helpful tool for network and IT asset management" — 5.0/5

> **Bondada** | *26 May 2026* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Device42 is a very effective network and IT asset management tool. It’s easy to use and helps manage networks, infrastructure, and assets from a centralized platform with good visibility and tracking capabilities.
> 
> **Cons**: There are comparatively fewer features than other network management tools, and the platform currently lacks the scalability and advanced capabilities needed for larger or more complex environments.
> 
> very useful for asset management and easy to use but as per my opinion, it lacks scalability and other complex capabilities

### "Chief Operating Officer" — 5.0/5

> **Rithik** | *26 May 2026* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It helped us effectively track change requests, monitor evaluations and long-running processes, identify risks early, and streamline overall IT operations. Overall, it’s a very strong and reliable IT management tool.
> 
> **Cons**: Not very intuitive user interface, sometimes gets very confusing to navigate and very less features for the pricing

-----

### "Chief Technology Officer" — 5.0/5

> **Atiradh** | *26 May 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Finest tool for tracking IT assets, very easy to onboard and get started and with a very affordable pricing.
> 
> **Cons**: Very less features but this is enough for a small to mid organisation and below par support experience.

-----

### "Good IPAM Solution" — 4.0/5

> **Andreas** | *16 April 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We use this tool as global IPAM solution also for automated processes and its working very good. API is clearly documented and support is always willing to help
> 
> **Cons**: Some usability concepts are not so common as compared to other IPAM products (e.g. Bluecat), which needs more time to get familiar with the concept (e.g. subnet move, split, merge).&#10;But support is always open for guidance and feature requests
> 
> We gained following efforts :&#10;- global IPAM solutions&#10;- active IP usability tracking (ping Sweep)&#10;- Service Now Integration (REST Integration)&#10;- Single Source of truth for network items
