How to Decide
GLPI is a free, open‑source IT asset and service‑desk platform used by IT professionals and teams. The alternatives split into a few clear camps: itflow leans into a full‑stack PSA for managed service providers with built‑in billing and client‑portal workflows; Teleport emphasizes zero‑trust, VPN‑free secure access to servers, Kubernetes clusters and databases with role‑based controls.
When weighing replacements, look at (1) the licensing and pricing model – GLPI and both alternatives are open source but Teleport adds a freemium tier while itflow remains fully free; (2) the deployment focus – all are self‑hosted, yet GLPI targets internal IT departments, itflow is built for MSPs managing multiple client environments, and Teleport is aimed at enterprises needing secure, cross‑infrastructure access; (3) core feature set – GLPI centers on asset inventory and ITIL service‑desk, itflow adds ticketing plus billing automation, and Teleport provides secure tunneling and audit logging; (4) integration ecosystem – GLPI integrates with LDAP/AD and MySQL, itflow offers generic third‑party app hooks, and Teleport connects directly to Kubernetes, Docker and AWS; (5) support channels – GLPI relies on community forums and GitHub, itflow adds documentation, and Teleport provides Slack alongside community resources.
