Keeping your MSP together with IT Glue.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We work with over three hundred clients and provide IT services for all of them. We use ITG to track passwords, IP addresses for various servers, firewall configurations, and applications each client likes to use. We also merged two different ITG accounts to combine two companies and share resources.
Pros
- It is good for keeping things categorized such as applications and passwords.
- Allows you to easily merge with another company if they also use IT Glue.
- Helps keep password refreshed and always rotating.
Cons
- There should be an option to auto format text that you bring in from outside sources.
- It can be difficult to embed all types of images. Some types are easy to embed.
- Merging two accounts sometimes forces you to switch between the two different collections.
Return on Investment
- ITG saved us money by keeping us updated on when SSL certs are expiring.
- We saved thousands of dollars by making sure no domains expired that we owned.
- This year, we garnered two extra clients by demoing ITG and how it could impact them.

- Integration with RMM for device information
- Organization for network information
Cons
- better extension functionality for chrome
- Personal password manager improvement
- Not very many issues
Return on Investment
- Made managing passwords easier
- Saved time with centralized information
- Gave techs quick access to needed information

Other Software Used
Atera, Webroot Endpoint Protection, Breach Secure Now, Axcient x360Cloud, Axcient x360Recover
An overall good product that meets the needs for centralized documentation for managed service providers
Pros
- Tracking documentation for our clients.
- The OTP/MFA tracking for client passwords is an amazing new addition!!
- Integration with Connectwise
Cons
- Backups of data are manual, no automated process.
- Password "flags" for passwords accessed by removed users.
- Needs a read-only "warm site." When they go down, everything is inaccessible. Replicate data to another colo/cloud with a separate DNS domain for read-only access (ex. subdomain.ITglueDR.com).
- They suggest for backups giving "all passwords" to a single user when they go down, having all of these passwords in a spot accessible is a huge security risk (see above for suggestions to fix).
- More competition/leaderboard ideas to help drive participation.
Return on Investment
- It hasn't changed the ROI over previous products but is more liked for documentation by our engineers.

IT Glue - Over-priced and under-whelmed
Pros
- Storing basic information such as notes and configurations about a specific client.
- Staff being able to access the data on a computer or mobile device.
- [I feel] it is trying to be an all-in-one tool by including password managers, checklists, etc.
Cons
- [I believe] it is quite slow and clunky.
- [I feel] the interface is very outdated.
- Password manager is terrible compared to others [in my experience].
- [I feel the] checklist functionality is not good compared to other products.
- [I believe] permissions are very confusing.
- [I feel the] learning curve is steep.
Most Important Features
- Storing configuration information about clients
- Sharing configuration information about clients
Return on Investment
- We regret the purchase and have received little, if any, ROI.
- [In my expereience], the main feature we hoped to get ROI from (MyGlue) was so terrible we were embarrassed to roll it out to our clients.
- Because [I feel] it is slow and clunky, staff find quicker ways to access needed data so this is not used as much as we would have liked.
