GLPI vs OneUptime: at a glance
What is GLPI?
GLPI 12 is in release-candidate polish, and rc2 and rc3 changed nothing in the headline scope.
GLPI is three release candidates into its 12.0 major version, with rc1 through rc3 published roughly two weeks apart. The announced scope is the same in all three: a reworked knowledge base, a sessions manager, sudo mode, a reworked OLA model, broad security hardening against SQL injection and CSRF, and some accessibility work. Each RC carries an explicit warning not to use it in production.
What is OneUptime?
OneUptime tests an AI hold on paging: the AI takes the incident first, a Page now button overrides.
OneUptime ships a build per merge, and most recent builds are fixes, formatting passes and release merges. The newest is test-only, but it documents a feature: an 'OneUptime AI is on it' notice on incident and alert pages that tells responders when held on-call pages will fire, with a Page now button to escalate immediately. The prior week brought a SendGrid delivery fix and simplicity passes on incidents, on-call and role assignment.
GLPI vs OneUptime: editorial side-by-side
GLPI
5.0IT-SERVICE-MANAGEMENT
GLPI 12 is in release-candidate polish, and rc2 and rc3 changed nothing in the headline scope.
◆ Current state
GLPI is three release candidates into its 12.0 major version, with rc1 through rc3 published roughly two weeks apart. The announced scope is the same in all three: a reworked knowledge base, a sessions manager, sudo mode, a reworked OLA model, broad security hardening against SQL injection and CSRF, and some accessibility work. Each RC carries an explicit warning not to use it in production.
◆ Where it's heading
The scope froze at rc1, so the later candidates are stabilization passes on the road to a 12.0 general release. The highlights lean toward admin control and security, with sessions manager, sudo mode and hardening, rather than end-user ticketing features. That fits an ITSM tool used in environments where privileged access is audited.
◆ Prediction
A 12.0.0 general release or a further RC is the next likely step given the two-week RC cadence; the entries don't say when RCs will stop.
OneUptime
5.0IT-SERVICE-MANAGEMENT
OneUptime tests an AI hold on paging: the AI takes the incident first, a Page now button overrides.
◆ Current state
OneUptime ships a build per merge, and most recent builds are fixes, formatting passes and release merges. The newest is test-only, but it documents a feature: an 'OneUptime AI is on it' notice on incident and alert pages that tells responders when held on-call pages will fire, with a Page now button to escalate immediately. The prior week brought a SendGrid delivery fix and simplicity passes on incidents, on-call and role assignment.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run through the builds: simplifying the core incident and access-control screens, and putting an AI step in front of human paging. Gating the notice on on-call read permission and per-record scope suggests the AI hold is meant for production teams, not a demo.
◆ Prediction
Expect the AI hold to surface in release notes and settings, likely with controls for how long the AI holds a page before escalating. The feed does not yet show when it ships to all users.
