Overview

Domotz brings device inventory and topology mapping together with health monitoring, remote management, and network diagnostics. That makes it a fit for teams that need not only to identify equipment, but also to watch its condition and take action remotely. Free unlimited discovery offers a useful entry point, while paid plans add a choice between billing by managed device, collector, or home.

Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Draper, Utah, Domotz serves organizations responsible for networks across multiple sites. Its emphasis is operational visibility and remote support rather than inventory alone.

Key features

Discovery and topology: Automatic discovery builds a device inventory and network topology map. Unlimited free discovery lets teams assess what is connected using real network data, though discovery alone is not the same as ongoing monitoring and management.
Monitoring and alerts: Domotz tracks device health, performance, uptime, SNMP values, and TCP services, with configurable alert thresholds. Synthetic checks and traffic monitoring are also included among its capabilities, making the scope broader than a basic device list.
Remote management: Remote access, power control, configuration backup and restore, and scripts let support teams respond to issues without being on site. These tools are valuable for distributed networks, but are more than a discovery-only user needs.
Diagnostics: Speed tests, traceroutes, and on-demand VPN access support investigation when connectivity or performance is in question.
Integrations and deployment: Domotz says it supports more than 100 vendor integrations and thousands of device models. Its collector has 16 deployment options, including a Domotz Box, virtual machines, Windows, Linux, NAS, Docker, and Raspberry Pi, giving teams several ways to fit collection into their environment.
Security and support: Domotz says it is audited to SOC 2 Type II and certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and uses cryptography for data in transit and at rest. Access controls include SSO/SAML, two-factor authentication, role-based team management, secure network sharing, and audit logging. Customers can schedule time with network experts for setup or troubleshooting.

Pricing

The free tier provides unlimited device discovery and a way to evaluate the platform against real network data. It is a sensible starting point for inventory and topology work, but teams that need paid management should compare how each plan counts usage.

Per-device option: 1.50 USD per month, billed per managed device per month in bundles of 10. This suits smaller deployments or teams whose costs should scale with managed devices, but the ten-device billing blocks mean the bill does not scale one device at a time.
Collector Plan: 35.00 USD per month per collector, covering one site or network, unlimited devices, and every feature. It can be a better fit for a site with many devices, though each additional site or network requires its own collector.
Residential integrator pricing: Custom pricing, billed per home per month; volume and annual commitments can lower the rate to €8. This structure suits integrators managing homes in volume, while the stated lower rate depends on commitment terms.
MSP and commercial integrator pricing: Custom pricing, billed per collector per month, with one site or network and unlimited devices per collector. Volume and annual commitments can lower the rate to €17.50, so it may suit larger portfolios, but the final price depends on scale and commitment.

A 14-day trial is available. The per-device and collector options use different billing units, so estimate both against the number of devices and sites you actually manage before committing.

Platforms

Domotz supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows, as well as an API. Its collector deployment options also include NAS, Docker, Raspberry Pi, virtual machines, and the Domotz Box.

Who it's for

Domotz is best suited to MSPs, IT departments, system integrators, and security professionals who need recurring visibility and remote support across managed networks. The free discovery tier also makes it relevant to teams that first need an inventory and topology map. It is less compelling for users seeking only a lightweight device list or a single-purpose diagnostic tool, since its main advantage is the combined monitoring, management, and diagnostics workflow.

Pros and cons

Pro: Unlimited free discovery can reveal device inventory and topology before a team commits to paid management.
Pro: Monitoring, remote access, power control, backups, scripts, and diagnostics cover both observing a network and acting on it.
Pro: Collector plans include unlimited devices and every feature, which can be attractive for a dense single-site network.
Pro: Broad deployment choices and named security controls help address varied network environments and team access needs.
Con: Per-device billing is in bundles of 10, which can make costs less exact for small device-count changes.
Con: Collector pricing is tied to one site or network per collector, so multi-site users must account for each location.
Con: Integrator plans are custom-priced, and lower rates depend on volume or annual commitments; this makes direct budget comparison harder.

Alternatives

For a narrower inventory focus, compare LOGINventory: its free plan covers 20 devices, while Domotz offers unlimited free discovery and adds monitoring and remote management. runZero is worth considering when a bounded free asset-discovery plan is the priority; its Community Edition covers 100 assets, one organization, 10 recurring tasks, and 30 days of data retention.

Fing Security is a fit for readers who want a free plan with up to three scans per day, speed tests, network and ISP reporting, and troubleshooting tools. Lansweeper may suit teams comparing inventory options with unlimited user seats and community support in its trial, followed by a free tier for up to 100 assets.

Netdisco is a free alternative. ServiceNow Discovery may suit readers looking for a paid ITOM package that includes Discovery, Service Mapping, and Certificate Inventory and Management. OCS Inventory is an open-source community project with more than 20 years of development. IP Fabric is another paid option, with annual subscription terms based on active devices and cloud objects plus a support package.

Verdict

Choose Domotz if you manage networks that need ongoing monitoring, remote control, and diagnostics alongside device discovery. Its combination of unlimited free discovery and extensive paid capabilities is the central advantage. Look elsewhere if you only need a simple inventory or want a more predictable per-device bill without ten-device bundles or site-based collector charges.
