Best ITGlue Alternative Options for MSPs in 2026

If you’re searching for an ITGlue alternative, you’re probably not unhappy with the documentation itself. You’re unhappy with what happens at 2 AM when a tech is triaging a P1 and can’t find the right config article fast enough. The docs exist. Finding them under pressure is the problem.

ITGlue is the most widely deployed documentation platform in the MSP space. It works. But its pricing has climbed, the UI feels dated to some teams, and the search experience during live triage leaves a lot of room for improvement. Those frustrations send MSPs shopping.

Before you rip out your documentation platform — a project that will consume weeks and disrupt every technician on your team — it’s worth asking whether the tool is actually the problem, or whether the problem is how your team accesses docs when it matters most.

Here’s an honest look at the top alternatives, what they actually solve, and what they don’t.

The ITGlue Alternative Landscape

Hudu

Hudu is the most common destination for MSPs leaving ITGlue. It’s self-hosted (or cloud-hosted), significantly cheaper, and built by people who clearly understood what MSPs didn’t like about ITGlue’s interface.

What’s good: Hudu’s pricing is straightforward — a flat fee based on your company size, not per-asset charges that scale unpredictably. The UI is cleaner. Self-hosting appeals to MSPs with compliance requirements or those who just want to own their data. The password management and asset documentation features cover the same ground as ITGlue.

What’s not: Migration from ITGlue to Hudu is a project. The API exists, and community-built migration scripts help, but you’re still looking at weeks of cleanup. Hudu’s integration ecosystem is smaller than ITGlue’s. And if your real complaint is “techs can’t find docs during triage,” Hudu’s search is better in some ways but doesn’t fundamentally change the workflow — your tech still has to leave their ticket, open Hudu, search, find the right article, and bring that context back to the ticket manually.

IT Portal (by SuperOps)

IT Portal takes the documentation-inside-your-PSA approach. If you’re already using SuperOps as your PSA, the documentation lives right alongside tickets and assets. No context switching.

What’s good: Tight PSA integration means docs are closer to where techs actually work. The pricing is bundled with the broader SuperOps platform.

What’s not: If you’re not on SuperOps, IT Portal isn’t really an option. And for MSPs running ConnectWise or Autotask, switching your PSA to fix a documentation problem is a wildly disproportionate response.

Confluence

Some MSPs — especially larger ones or those with development teams — end up in Confluence. It’s flexible, well-known, and Atlassian isn’t going anywhere.

What’s good: Confluence handles complex documentation well. The editor is mature. If your team already lives in the Atlassian ecosystem (Jira, Bitbucket), everything connects. Pricing is reasonable for small teams.

What’s not: Confluence wasn’t built for MSPs. There’s no native asset management, no password vault, no per-client documentation structure out of the box. You’ll spend significant time building templates and organizational structures that ITGlue and Hudu provide natively. For a 15-person MSP, Confluence creates more problems than it solves.

SI Portal / Other Niche Players

There are smaller players — SI Portal, Passportal (now part of N-able), and various PSA-embedded documentation features. Each has a niche. None have meaningfully displaced ITGlue or Hudu as the primary documentation platform for most MSPs.

The Actual Problem: Doc Findability During Triage

Here’s the pattern that drives the ITGlue alternative search:

1. A ticket comes in — “VPN not connecting for client XYZ.”
2. The tech opens the ticket, reads the description, and starts triaging.
3. They need the client’s VPN configuration, firewall credentials, and the SOP for that specific VPN vendor.
4. They open ITGlue in another tab. Search for the client. Navigate to the right folder. Find the configuration article. Go back and search for the SOP. Maybe it’s filed under “Network” or maybe “Remote Access” or maybe the last tech named it something unhelpful.
5. Five minutes later, they have the context they needed and can start actually resolving the issue.

That five-minute context-gathering step happens on every ticket. Multiply it across 50 tickets a day and you’ve lost hours of technician capacity — not because the docs don’t exist, but because finding them requires manual searching, tab-switching, and institutional knowledge about where things are filed.

Switching from ITGlue to Hudu doesn’t fix this. You get a different UI for the same manual search process. The tech still has to leave their ticket, go find the docs, and bring the context back.

What Actually Fixes It: AI That Queries Your Docs Automatically

This is where the answer shifts from “which documentation tool” to “what sits on top of your documentation tool.”

Junto connects to ITGlue (and Hudu, and other documentation platforms) and queries them automatically during triage. When a ticket comes in, Junto’s AI reads the ticket, identifies the client and the issue type, searches your documentation platform for relevant SOPs, configuration articles, and credentials references, and posts that context directly into the triage summary.

The tech opens the ticket and the relevant documentation is already there. No tab switching. No searching. No guessing which folder the last tech filed the SOP under.

This works regardless of which documentation platform you use. Junto doesn’t care if you’re on ITGlue or Hudu or both (yes, some MSPs run both during migrations). The AI queries whatever documentation source is connected and surfaces what’s relevant to the ticket at hand.

The Real ITGlue Alternative Decision Framework

If your frustration is pricing, Hudu is the obvious move. It’s cheaper, the feature set is comparable, and the migration — while painful — is a one-time project.

If your frustration is doc findability during triage, switching platforms won’t help. You need an AI layer that connects to your documentation and delivers the right articles to the right tickets automatically. That’s what Junto does — and it works with ITGlue, so you don’t have to migrate anything.

If your frustration is both, you could migrate to Hudu for the cost savings and connect Junto to Hudu for the triage experience. Or keep ITGlue and just add Junto. The documentation platform becomes less important when AI handles the retrieval.

What I’d Actually Recommend

If ITGlue is working and your real pain is triage speed, don’t migrate. Migration projects are expensive in time and disruption, and you’ll end up with the same findability problem in a different UI. Add an AI layer that makes your existing docs useful during triage.

If ITGlue’s pricing genuinely doesn’t work for your business, Hudu is the most proven alternative. Plan for a 4-6 week migration, assign someone to own the project, and budget for the cleanup that every documentation migration requires.

Either way, the documentation tool is table stakes. Every option on this list stores docs adequately. The differentiator in 2026 is whether those docs surface automatically when your techs need them — or whether they sit in a perfectly organized folder structure that nobody searches under pressure.
