AssetTiger vs Device42

AssetTiger is a cloud-based system for tracking assets and inventory, scheduling maintenance, managing contracts, calculating depreciation, and supporting audits. Its iOS and Android apps scan barcodes and QR codes, record check-in and check-out handoffs, and can scan offline before syncing after reconnection. Users can set recurring maintenance and receive email alerts ahead of deadlines. Reporting includes more than 80 report types with CSV or PDF exports; depreciation methods include straight-line, declining balance, and sum-of-years-digits. The REST API is available with paid plans and supports connections to ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Dynamics, as well as ITSM services including ServiceNow and Jira Service Management. Listed security controls include 120+ permission settings, two-factor authentication, Google SSO, and an immutable activity log. A free account covers up to two inventory items, and a 30-day trial covers up to 250 assets and two users with no credit card required. Basic costs $20 per month for 500 assets and unlimited users; higher plans are also listed.

Device42 provides agentless discovery, asset management, and dependency mapping for data center, cloud, and hybrid IT environments. Its scope includes CMDB, DCIM, ITAM, IPAM, password management, and application dependency mapping, in a self-hosted deployment. It can discover network devices through SNMP and cloud resources across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and OpenStack.

For data centers, its visual models cover buildings, rooms, racks, cabling, and patch panels, with power and temperature heat maps. Core includes discovery, inventory and asset management, integrations, REST APIs and webhooks, warranty and SSL certificate management, cable and password management, and IPAM. Device42 also tracks software licenses, contracts, and barcodes, and lists more than 30 integrations. Licenses count devices with IP addresses; non-IP assets do not count, and user seats are unlimited. If the device limit is exceeded, the software keeps running but stops collecting additional information until the license is increased. Pricing is available on request, and a free trial is offered.
