Device42 vs Sortly

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.

Sortly is inventory management software for businesses tracking inventory, supplies, materials, tools, equipment, and other assets. Teams can import spreadsheets, organize items in folders, and attach custom fields, photos, and tags. Its mobile app scans barcodes and QR codes to add and manage items, and users can create and print custom labels. Low-stock alerts and date-based alerts can flag maintenance and repair schedules. Reports cover inventory summaries, low stock, user activity, item flows, and location moves; email report subscriptions are available. Sortly runs on Android, iOS, and the web, and lists an API. The iOS and Android apps offer offline access, unlike the web app. Listed integrations include AppFolio Stack, Amazon Business US, Slack, QuickBooks Online, Microsoft Teams, Webhooks, and the Sortly API. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 100 unique items, one user license, and two active jobs; quantities of a unique item do not count toward the item limit. Paid plans are listed from $49/mo, and a 14-day trial is listed. Mobile app requirements are iOS 18.5 or above and Android 12 or above.
