Find out in this report how the two IP Address Management (IPAM) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
As we are migrating other tools into this one, there can be 30% to 40% cost savings.
We did see a return on investment as we only have a team of six who are managing BlueCat Integrity infrastructure 24/7, and with the help of automation, we were able to reduce the headcount as we automated most of the requests using BlueCat Integrity API.
The consolidation of five different tools into one BlueCat solution did provide savings.
The TCO calculations based on five years and three years have yielded a remarkable ROI compared to on-premise workload, validating the business case submission to the customer.
I can confidently say at least 30% is the savings which we have seen.
Device42 is a fully-featured tool that includes everything we need with powerful auto-discovery and intelligent application dependency mapping.
At that tier, when you are willing to pay for it, their support level is impeccable.
I would give the support a score of 10.
The support from BlueCat was exceptional, as all issues were addressed without any major impacts, with support being very quick and faster compared to the previous vendor we had.
Customer support for Device42 is fantastic.
Our internal teams have also leveraged the platform which is available for the customers and the partners to onboard them, have a bit of training on the tool and then ask any specific questions to either the TAM or the customer support team.
When it comes to resolving technical issues, the support team is responsive and always available to help.
Currently, we are at over 150 BlueCat Integrity devices, running at least 70 primary mainstream hospitals and over 1,200 clinical locations.
If we have the virtual infrastructure up and ready, we can scale without a need for licensing.
Regarding scalability, our solution has so many servers and so much redundancy, and we did not even get into a point where we needed to add more servers because of load.
It is very much scalable and allows you to design your discovery solution without facing any challenge.
Device42's scalability works well for me; if I want to add more resources, such as a Remote Collector for a new site, I can easily connect it to the main appliance.
The scalability is good and with the increase in the size of the environment, it has definitely grown and changed over the last couple of years.
With the assistance of BlueCat Integrity and re-architecting, redesigning, and redeploying, our failure rate has gone to zero.
BlueCat Integrity is a platform that is mature and that we can trust.
We encountered a couple of situations where our BlueCat Integrity Address Manager was in a hung state, requiring us to rebuild it after performing an upgrade.
Device42 is stable and has been reliable for my organization.
Device42 has been pretty stable.
Stability for Device42, in terms of reliability, is generally acceptable.
One has to be very clear with their requirements in terms of what they want to achieve in the target design before making a purchase decision.
The API aspect could be improved with more use cases and better handling of object attributes.
In order to update this environment with 150 plus devices, I have to go through one at a time.
Device42 could benefit from improvements, specifically regarding the deployment of the software, which sometimes can be hectic and become time-consuming.
I foresee areas of improvement for the agent-less solution, which could be very useful for those organizations that might not allow configuring an agent in their source machines for workload discovery.
From an ITSM and ticketing perspective, I would say if there were integrations available, that would have really been better because a lot of times what we end up seeing or leveraging is ServiceNow because they have that native or out of the box capability, and even Freshservice has that capability out of the box.
Our licensing model with BlueCat Integrity is cheaper than Infoblox.
I heard that it wasn't that expensive, and what BlueCat offered for the price was very worthwhile.
We did see a cost reduction in overall infrastructure as BlueCat Integrity offered services at much more effective rates compared to other OEMs.
Compared to other competitors, it does not cost much, and I would recommend it from a cost perspective.
For example, I felt the BMC Discovery pricing was quite high.
The pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Device42 are relatively cost-effective and affordable.
Centralized management is the number one and most critical advantage.
The primary benefit my previous company realized from using BlueCat Integrity was that it was very cost-effective.
BlueCat Integrity provides a single-pane-of-glass view of the IP address space through integration of all infrastructure with BlueCat Integrity's Address Manager.
Device42 has positively impacted my organization by providing granularity toward application discovery compared to other assessment tools, which is a differentiator since none of the other tools provide such granularity, leading to better decision-making for my migration to the public cloud.
We have leveraged that to discover IT assets such as physical servers, VMs, network devices, containers, storage devices, the applications, cloud resources and their relationships or their dependencies with each other and to the outside.
Device42 has positively impacted our organization by helping us become one of the best companies for asset management and inventory for the enterprise businesses we work with.
