We've been using Discovery in our environment for a while now, and get a good amount of data back, though it could use some additional tweaking.
One thing that I've noticed, and I believe that Discovery aids in the creation, is that we have a massive number of duplicate Product Models in our system. I am very confident that all but a few were generated automatically from Discovery, and we now have 513,330 product models in the product model table, most of which are duplicates.
As an example, I know for a fact that we have 2 Dymo LabelWriter Print Servers on our network, but we have 311 product models, all listed as "LabelWriter Print Server". Others that I've seen that are also obvious duplicates include 17,710 for "3825" (which appears to be referring to a Cisco 3825), or 81,874 for a "Catalyst 37xxStack".
How can I consolidate these duplicates into single product models that are associated with CIs and Assets, and ensure that these huge number of duplicates aren't created again?
