We deployed it ourselves.

One person is needed for deployment and maintenance. 

Be careful who you partner with. We partnered with a third-party to come in and help us set everything up. The first technician that they gave us did not know what he was doing. Every time I would ask about something, he would say, "Oh, this looks different. They changed that from an older version." He didn't seem to know the current version. He was stuck in the past. Finally, we got a different guy who knew what he was talking about. So, it stunted our growth in the beginning.

The second guy comes along, and he's like, "App dependency wasn't even checked in the scans," because we weren't told to. We didn't know that we needed that checked to get what we needed until we talked to the new guy. We were like, "This has been useless so far," because this one checkbox alone is essential to what we want to get out of it. He had several suggestions on tweaks to the scans, etc. 

If you're going to partner with a company to come in who are supposedly experts to help you set up and configure it, pay close attention because there are a lot of things about the app to learn. You need to know exactly what you want out of the app so they can help you figure out how to get it.

I have setup it 600 to 700 times. 

On average, the deployment requires only four to five hours. However, the requirements gathering that we need to forward to customers to follow their change process to open all ports may take two to three days.

There is no implementation strategy because it depends on customer. A few customers helped us and others deployed it by themselves. In these cases, we provide the documents, then the deploy it themselves. So, it depends on the customer.

We did it ourselves, and that's one of the reasons we decided to use Device42. All of the other products asked us to use an integrator or a reseller or someone who would help us. Device42 was easy, so we decided to run with it. We were able to manage everything by ourselves.

We did it ourselves.

I deployed it myself and there are two of us who maintain it. One guy on the network team does all of the discovery stuff and I'm a senior infrastructure engineer.
