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 adds guided setups; Ask AI now builds a monitor, paging and status page from a sentence.
OneUptime shipped 14.0.108 and 14.0.109 on November 12 and 13. 14.0.109 has 229 changes, many of them translations, but adds guided setups from a website address to a tested page, test pages without an incident, revoked SSL certificate checks, and Ask AI that sets up a monitor, paging and a status page from one sentence after a single approval. 14.0.108 put table lineage into alerts, Ask AI, Slack and MCP, and added saved funnels and retention for product analytics.
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 adds guided setups; Ask AI now builds a monitor, paging and status page from a sentence.
◆ Current state
OneUptime shipped 14.0.108 and 14.0.109 on November 12 and 13. 14.0.109 has 229 changes, many of them translations, but adds guided setups from a website address to a tested page, test pages without an incident, revoked SSL certificate checks, and Ask AI that sets up a monitor, paging and a status page from one sentence after a single approval. 14.0.108 put table lineage into alerts, Ask AI, Slack and MCP, and added saved funnels and retention for product analytics.
◆ Where it's heading
After a week of adding new modules, the latest releases focus on first-hour setup: guided flows, setup health checks, a server doctor command and importers from PagerDuty and UptimeRobot. The AI work is moving from explaining incidents to configuring the product. The release pace stays at several large releases a week.
◆ Prediction
More guided setups and AI-driven configuration across the remaining modules are likely, along with continued translation sweeps.
