It is an ITSM that guarantee the management of large IT infrastructures with lots of assets.

It is an expensive tool and it is not easy to configure to have the broad view of all information in there.

I have installed GLPI in three medium companies and I also use it for my personal projects, I like that it has two large modules, the first of which is the inventory manager, equipment, servers, peripherals, software licenses, network, reservation of shared resources, among others. The second module is the helpdesk for the follow-up of the interventions, allows the administrators and the support staff...

GLPI is a great software, however, there are things that I have had problems with in these years, the integration with LDAP is not stable, it is difficult to obtain the data correctly, I have had difficulties with the assignment of profiles to the users that are imported of LDAP, another thing that I do not like is that it is not compatible with Postgresql, which forces me to use mysql.

GLPI, is the most complete platform to take the management of requirements or requests, incidents in customers or IT systems, Projects, problem management, inventories, finally .. Through this great platform I could organize the management of the entire IT infrastructure . When I started using this great tool, I only managed internal requests, later we added incident management and from one case the client was notified, today I carry the projects of the area and all the inventory control of the operational unit. The truth that has allowed me to optimize operating costs since with the free version I can have breadth when managing the entire area of ​​network operations and administration of IT services.

The truth, with time using the tool there is not a single aspect that prevents me from achieving my operational objectives.

Disclaimer *GLPi partner* This is a great tool combining (if you wish) IT inventory and Helpdesk. Of course you can use only one of them. It is important to emphasize you can do both, since I don't know any other product that allows this. Just imagine inventory computers automatically and link tickets to computers, software, network equipment, printers. It's extendable through plugins. For instance you can do Non-IT inventory (cars, rooms, you name it)

GLPi is supported by the community. So, you can have your questions and needs solved or not. Fortunately you can contact a Teclib' partner and they will support, migrate or enhance the application regarding your needs. Reporting is not that flexible out of the box, specially on terms of techs cost control.

It is very easy and simple to use, it allows you to track tickets from opening until they are closed, it is very complete since you can take control of each ticket opened, assign it to a group or user to give a solution, interact with both the client as with the technicians. On the other hand, it allows to keep an inventory control of the companies' computer resources

in the short time that I have been using it I have not found any irregularity that does not allow me to carry out any activity that I have done

I have used GLPI for asset management and case support management. Both modules were easy enough to use and did the job.

The interface can be a bit rough around the edges. I don't know if ours was badly configured but it was a little slow to access.
