"Powerful discovery and ADM solution and outstanding support"
What do you like best about Device42, A Freshworks Company?

Overall we're ery happy to be a Device42 customer, they're very customer oriented and working together with them happens always on a partnerhsip level and in a very kind way.

Their support is really outstanding, of course during the implementation there were challenges and areas for improvements, but they picked them up and made sure they get solved. This was not just limited to the beginning, they really try to make sure we're continously a satisfied customer.

In case we run into questions or issues we can always rely that the support is picking it up very open minded and tries to help us to get it solved, without questioning immediately whether we can proof that the root cause isn't in our environment but in Device42, that's great team work.

They're also very good in continuoulsy developing the product further, release new features and strive to make it better and better. The solution is very user friendly designed, but also very powerfull with all it's discovery features.

At the beginning I was a bit missing a standardized training approach, like web based trainings to have an easier entry to some topics, as it might be a bit overwhelming studying the documentation or always engaging a Customer Success Engineer, but recently they also started their Academy which contained from the begining a good set of trainings and also a certification apporach. Also here the content is constantly growing and improving.

When we were looking for a discovery solutions with Application Dependency Mapping feature, Device42 made a big difference to their competitors during our evaluation from a functional perspective and also with their support concept and they proofed it until today that we went for the right solution.
