IT Glue

PRODUCT SUMMARY

IT Glue is a platform that primarily focuses on IT documentation. The software is designed for IT service providers as secure storage for IT infrastructure information, configurations, passwords, and all confidential client data shared within the organization. IT Glue is a central repository of information for IT personnel to work on and share.

USE CASES

  • Structured Documentation:
    IT Glue’s marketing heavily promotes the software as a documentation management platform focusing on a well-put documentation framework.
  • Relationship Mapping:
    The software links all related items together in the documentation. This makes information readily available to anyone working on it, which saves time and effort.
  • Easy-to-use permissions:
    Granular permissions and other levels of permissions allow technicians to manage access to documentation, enhancing the security of stored data.

SHORTCOMINGS

  • Interface design issues: IT Glue reviews find that the user interface of IT Glue is not intuitive and certain actions are hidden behind drop down. The platform also lacks customization options which could otherwise help streamline workflows.
  • Integration Issues: Getting the data flowing on integrations is time-consuming.
  • Inferior Search Functionality:
    It could do better on its search feature, especially when it comes to finding where information is stored and archival search.
  • No Free Trial: IT Glue doesn’t offer free trials, which is a downside for IT decision-makers who want to weigh their options first.

NinjaOne

Why your peers choose us over IT Glue

While IT Glue specializes in IT documentation, NinjaOne provides a unified IT management solution with capabilities that include documentation, endpoint management, patch management endpoint security, and remote access – in a single hub.  By consolidating all these tools into a single pane of glass, NinjaOne allows IT professionals to enhance efficiency and reduce IT Teams’ and MSPs’ technology stacks.  

NinjaOne also seamlessly integrates with third-party applications, unlike IT Glue integrations, which can be complex to set up. Additionally, NinjaOne’s user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate the platform, whereas IT Glue’s limited search functionality makes it difficult to locate some information.

Moving 100,000 devices in 90 days is no small feat…Ahead of the migration, NinjaOne prepared the assets that we needed to be successful: documentation, the Dojo, and technical support. NinjaOne was there for us the whole way.

NinjaOne vs. IT Glue FAQs

While both IT Glue and NinjaOne offer documentation, NinjaOne’s platform also has a comprehensive suite of IT management tools and a larger catalogue of third-party integrations.

IT Glue does not have remote monitoring and management (RMM) capabilities, as its primary function is for IT documentation. On the other hand, NinjaOne is an RMM platform with built-in cloud-based documentation of credentials and procedures, creating a single source of truth for IT teams and managed service providers (MSPs). NinjaOne consolidates IT management tools so that users can monitor, manage, patch, and support all the assets in their IT infrastructure.

IT Glue reviews discuss the complexity of integrations with third-party applications. In addition, IT Glue’s search functionality can be buggy, and reviews have stated that finding the documents users need can sometimes be challenging.

No, IT Glue does not offer free trials for its platform. On the other hand, NinjaOne allows you to sign up for a 14-day free trial to get a hands-on experience of what NinjaOne has to offer.

According to IT Glue reviews on G2 and Capterra, IT Glue’s search features are limited, and locating specific documents can be difficult. NinjaOne is easy to use and offers a simple interface, so locating documentation and navigating the platform can be done fast.
