We use the tool as an IP asset management platform, focusing on managing IP addresses. It also helps to manage assets.
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I find NetBox. dev's interaction and user-friendly GUI most valuable. It makes editing and removing items easy for users. Moving away from spreadsheets has been a benefit for our clients. It saves them a lot of time and makes everything accessible.
What needs improvement?
The tool should improve report automation.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for a couple of months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I haven't had any issues with NetBox.dev's stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have 7000 assets in NetBox.dev.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted technical support yet.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I used SolarWinds before. The main advantage of NetBox.dev compared to SolarWinds or ManageEngine Solutions is that it's probably cheaper. My client found that NetBox.dev doesn't try to bundle you with other products, unlike SolarWinds.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment is not complex. I have been in the IT industry for a long time. The initial deployment involved registering and configuring a few parameters. It was completed with the help of a resource. Deployment was completed in a day. However, a week was needed to populate.
What other advice do I have?
I recommend the tool to others. I would suggest ensuring that whoever is working on the deployment is fully dedicated during that time. It's important not to be distracted. In my experience, when someone's focus is split, we encounter a few issues.
I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.
