IT Support Supervisor 

The software really struggles to know how to label a Surface Pro.

Very less features but this is enough for a small to mid organisation and below par support experience.

CMDB Manager

What I like most about Device42 is its strong automated discovery, accurate CMDB visibility, and clear dependency mapping.

Its ease of use, visualization, asset management, and integration capabilities make it especially valuable for maintaining an accurate CMDB and supporting operational decision-making.

Chief Operating Officer

Not very intuitive user interface, sometimes gets very confusing to navigate and very less features for the pricing

CMDB Admin

We have created multiple integration with other tools that allow us to have IT information in one single place.

engineer

This particular tool proves to be highly beneficial when seeking to comprehend the intricate interdependencies between applications and servers.

One can effectively utilize a significant amount of information without necessitating the initial deployment of agents.

The present iteration of this program exhibits certain limitations.

Setting up the server and the scans, and it handles itself.  

At times it doesn’t know how to categorize some laptops.

Data Center Supervisor

Loading the data that Nlyte will use is a significant undertaking.   While Nlyte provides this as a service, security concerns kept my enterprise from taking advantage.   

Data Center Manager

Either there’s no ability to open a new service request through Nlyte directly from the asset page, or it’s not intuitive to see how that could be enabled.

Data Center Technician

We did have some difficulty finding the time setting this up as it is time consuming to do so.
