IT Glue vs. ManageEngine Password Manager Pro

IT Glue is well suited to any size managed service provider that requires a secure central knowledge base. IT Glue also integrates well with N-Central to automatically populate the configurations tab with all the relevant Workstation, Printer, and Server information making client on-boarding a breeze.

Password Manager does a good job of segregating passwords in to different categories which then can be aligned to different users or different job roles within the organization or department. I think the user interface looks a little dated, however, is perfectly functional for retrieving passwords. In adding the passwords initially, I found it a bit clunky, but of course, you don't need to do that too often.

• Flexible Assets are custom questions or forms that you get to create to keep the kind of documentation that *you* want. Our team has done this, and have developed a comprehensive system in our documentation that is better than anything we've ever had.
• Tagging. This feature is so helpful when interlinking related items in the documentation system. IT Glue makes it so easy to tag other configurations, including printers, firewalls, phones, etc.
• Public sharing of knowledge base articles. Often our clients need to know how to do something. We can add pictures, step-by-step walkthroughs that save us and them a ton of time.
• iFrame embedding. There's some flexibility to the web pages that have been helpful for putting other things, such as Cognito Forms in.

• Once we got used to the application specific terminology, the tool is fairly straight forward.
• Has all the basic functionality for password management.
• Its cost effective. For an enterprise tool, it is the lowest cost.

• So far we have enjoyed the functionality of ITG with one exception:
• The search feature is severely lacking. We have thousands of articles in this knowledge base but the search window is about 1" wide and only shows the first few words of each article. Within our system, those first few words are often the same "SYSTEMS: How-To...". If we are searching for a system, we will have no alternative but to manually try to find this document by browsing through folders within ITG.
• Unfortunately ITG has not responded to a flurry of enhancement requests around this feature, that go back quite a while.
• The functionality that would make this a killer app for us would be a dedicated search page that displayed results like a Google search page.
• Ability to export all client documentation if the client moves to another provider.

• In some browsers the copy password function does not work well
• The search engine sometimes returns blank results (all browsers included: Chrome, IE11)
• New upgrades are not visible in the tool itself, like in other third party tools

Overall IT Glue meets every need that we need it to. IT is easy to use and convenient and we have not had very many issues with it since the inception. I would easily recommend it to anyone who needs this software.

The interface is excellent and very easy to use. As long as the text you input into the system can be easily read, you will have no problem finding it with all the different categories offered. Sometimes, the slider on the right can blend in with dark backgrounds, making it hard to see.

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro has an amazing interface for all kind of users. It is easy to use over different ambient and for anybody. T he privileges use have much more control over his password databases and its action for its teams. The auditors have many reports on differents formats, type of reports, filters o action and more.

Other than a few access outages, ITGlue is always up and available to us. Their ability to export Playbook, that contain our customers data, and securely send those over to them is amazing and are produced pretty fast. We have IT Glue linked with several other services and software and we have not found that it slows anything down.

No problems with support when needed it. Their answers on how to handle DR/BC situations when ITG is down are not stellar. They don't seem to get the business risks of their suggestions to just give the xls backup to engineers (aka give all passwords of ALL clients to engineers in an unencrypted flat-file where it is easy to copy, print, etc.)

The contact is very easy. It is by mail. The resolution isn't easy because the support don't speak spanish and its english isn't good. In my opinion, ManageEngine Password Manager Pro should be have a Spanish Call Center for America.

Planning the implementation with the Team leader of end users. At the begining start with two server in High Availability. Organice the data base structure of resources and users access before that to deploy in production.

Currently, we are evaluating using Sharepoint instead of IT Glue as documents and items are searchable within the document instead of by title. We feel that by only searching by title and the type it hinders the speed at which information can be found easily.

Both Google and Microsoft offer a lot of SSO options with their products, but ManageEngine Password Manager Pro has kept competitive by offering its own integrations, and has the added feature of being self-hosted, which allows greater control of the environment compared to a cloud solution. While normally I am a cloud-first believer, in this case the ability to directly tie into local apps as well as cloud apps, and to integrate into the GINA over the LAN and WAN, has proved its value to me.

• We've had a number of false starts on getting all of our clients' assets documented. The culture shift just has not happened yet and there is a general lack of trust in the data.
• It's nice to not have to go hunting for information about client assets anymore. We can be much more productive this way.

• PMP has made it easier for us to store and share important credentials with other team members in a secure manner.
• PMP has eliminated the need for using personal credential management tools that can be insecure and could put data at risk.
• Integrating PMP with SSO has made it easier for everyone to access the tool quickly.
