BUYER INTELLIGENCE
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE
BUYING.
Six things experienced IT buyers wish they'd known earlier — plus the analyst evidence behind the OEM's market position.
01
Value is concentrated in the project window
Migration use is intense then quiet. Match the subscription term to the programme, or plan which use case takes over afterwards.
04
Right-sizing needs representative utilisation
Sizing from a quiet period under-provisions the target. Capture utilisation across a full business cycle before committing.
02
Move groups need observation time
Affinity grouping clusters on observed traffic. A two-week observation window misses month-end and quarter-end dependencies entirely.
05
Post-migration the licence still counts devices
Cloud instances discovered after migration count toward the device-based subscription. Model the post-migration estate, not just the source.
03
Readiness assessment informs, it does not decide
Device42 flags what looks unsuited to lift-and-shift. Whether to refactor, replatform or retire remains an architecture decision.
06
Migration is a use case, not a separate SKU
This runs on the same device-based subscription as ITAM and the rest. You are licensing devices, not buying a migration product separately.

ABOUT DEVICE42
THE DEPENDENCY MAP THAT DECIDES YOUR MIGRATION WAVES.
Device42, a Freshworks company, de-risks transformation by mapping what actually communicates with what — then grouping workloads into migration waves that will not strand a dependency on the wrong side of a cutover.
Device42 Transformation / Migration builds affinity-based move groups, cloud readiness assessments and pre- and post-migration validation from live dependency data — so a wave contains everything that has to move together, and the cutover weekend does not discover a database nobody mapped.
Affinity Automatic Move Groups cluster workloads by observed communication rather than by owner or naming convention, with AWS and Azure specific tooling for target sizing. Validation runs before and after each wave so migration success is evidenced rather than assumed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GOT QUESTIONS?
WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.
The questions every buyer asks before purchasing through Stackingo—pricing, licensing, what's included, and what to expect.
01
What's the minimum discount on Device42 Transformation / Migration through Stackingo?
At minimum, Stackingo prices Device42 Transformation / Migration 10% under Freshworks's list rate, within the bounds of Freshworks's authorized discount programme.
💡
Keep in mind: Affinity move groups cluster on observed traffic, so an observation window shorter than a full business cycle will miss month-end and quarter-end dependencies.
02
How much comes off Device42 Transformation / Migration list price?
On average, buyers save up to 55% versus Freshworks direct list pricing, structured within the authorized reseller programme rather than ad hoc markdowns.
⚠️
Device42 prices on device count, and migration programmes often discover more devices than the source estate suggested. Model both the source and target estate before agreeing a term.
03
Why buy Device42 Transformation / Migration through Stackingo?
Beyond the 10%-to-55% discount, Stackingo's value on Device42 Transformation / Migration is commercial clarity — flagging the traps that inflate Device42 bills:
Device count should be modelled for source and target
Observation window must cover a full business cycle
Readiness output informs architecture, it does not decide it
Right-sizing needs representative utilisation data
Subscription term should outlast the migration programme
All seven use cases sit on one subscription

You submit one RFQ across every product and quantity, get a single comparable quote, and gain renewal defence so you never auto-renew at list.
