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 is not intuitive, and certain actions are hidden behind a dropdown. The platform also lacks customization options that could otherwise help streamline workflows.
  • Integration Issues:
    Getting the data flowing on integrations is time-consuming.
  • Inferior Search Functionality:
    It could improve its search feature, especially when it comes to finding where information is stored and conducting archival searches.
  • 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.
