Summary

GLPI is an IT management platform covering helpdesk tickets, asset inventory, and service management. Users can submit incident or request tickets and route them to a group, profile, or individual. Workflows include problem and change management, planning, recurring tickets, statistics, and custom forms. The inventory can track hardware, software and licenses, network equipment, certificates, domains, clusters, and databases. Other tools include project workflows with Gantt or Kanban views, a knowledge base, reservations, reports, and saved searches. GLPI provides eight profile types and both standard and self-service interfaces; the self-service interface is free for end users. Integrations listed include Azure/Entra ID, Google SSO, GLPI Inventory, webhooks, Active Directory, CAS, and an API. Organizations can choose cloud or on-premise deployment. The public-cloud offer has a 45-day trial with no obligation or credit card required.
