Open source is more than a technology trend—it’s a global movement, unlocking innovation and providing access to powerful tools and platforms that can revolutionize IT operations. However, leveraging open-source solutions often comes with challenges, from deployment complexities to integration headaches and ongoing management burdens.
At Itarian, we believe that MSPs and IT managers should enjoy the benefits of open-source products without these hurdles. That’s why we’re excited to announce our mission to integrate open-source solutions directly into the Itarian platform.
What This Means for You:
Instant Access: A curated selection of the best open-source tools and platforms, ready to use directly from the Itarian dashboard.
No More Deployment Challenges: We handle all the technical complexities of deployment, so you don’t have to.
Seamless Integration: Open-source tools work alongside Itarian’s features, providing a unified experience without compatibility issues.
Simplified Management: Manage everything from one central platform, with Itarian’s intuitive interface taking the hassle out of administration.
Why Open Source in Itarian?
Innovation at Your Fingertips: The open-source ecosystem is brimming with cutting-edge tools designed to tackle real-world IT challenges.
Cost Efficiency: Access robust solutions without the heavy costs associated with proprietary software. Community-Driven Excellence: Open source thrives on community contributions, ensuring continuous improvements and reliability.
Our vision is to empower IT managers and MSPs with the capabilities of open-source software, making it accessible, manageable, and impactful without requiring deep technical expertise.

Hello everyone, we’re exploring the best Backup & Disaster Recovery (BDR) solution to integrate with our ITSM for MSPs. Which option from the list do you think would be the best fit? Looking forward to your thoughts!
Hello everyone, we’re exploring the best Asset Management solution to integrate with our ITSM for MSPs. Which option from the list do you think would be the best fit? Looking forward to your thoughts!
Hard to say as I do not use any of these. One would have to have time to try them which I do not have.
Some ideas:
-Backup in a non-proprietary format
-Backup both bare metal images and at the file level.
-Ability to mount the backup to recover even a single file.
-For Windows Linux Mac
-Easy centralized multiclient web interface.
-Allowing backup to various cloud platforms as well as locally.
-Auto verification of backup validity.
-Ability in case of disaster to start the backup on virtual machine.
At a quick glance it seems to me that Bacula and Kopi are the most interesting.
Hello @datalink Thank you for such detailed response. After thorough analysis, we are excited to announce that Bacula is the first open-source product that we will be launching .

Hello @datalink, The open-source app will have its own console for access. However, the deployment process will be automated and will be readily available for use.

We are pleased to announce the official launch of the ITarian Marketplace—a unified platform designed to help you discover, deploy, and manage a wide range of robust IT solutions.
As part of this launch, we are introducing ITarian Cloud, an innovative capability that enables one-click deployment of curated open-source applications, specifically tailored to meet the operational needs of MSPs and IT administrators.
We are also excited to announce the availability of iTop, a powerful open-source asset management solution, now deployable in seconds through ITarian Cloud.
Where to find this Menu>Marketplace>Open Source>Asset Management>iTOP
And this is just the beginning. Hundreds of popular open-source applications are coming soon — from monitoring tools and collaboration platforms to security stacks and productivity suites.
Hi, good to see that you are really improving the platform. However, now that you have introduced the marketplace I no longer see the usefulness of the “Store” and “Partner” menu (which by the way doesn’t work).
As for the MarketPlace, I don’t understand why by entering as an MSP I also see enterprise solutions, creating confusion. Then I also see the Xcitium Device Management MSP product: does one then have to buy it here first if I have to add new machines to manage?
Not to mention the Itarian “Applications” menu which still includes obsolete products such as “Secure Internet Gateway” or the non-functioning “Total Noc Support” (and why still offer two “Service Desk” applications?)
Finally I also still find the menu under “Management”>Application” confusing.
In short I think the whole UI/UX interface of Itarian needs to be revised, thank you.
The distinction between MSP and Enterprise products for Marketplace has already been planned—MSP users will only see MSP-related offerings, while Enterprise users will view Enterprise-specific products.
When it comes to purchasing ITarian product licenses, users can continue using their existing workflows. The Marketplace serves as an additional purchasing channel. The primary focus of Marketplace is our Open-Source products integrated with the ITarian cloud.
UI/UX improvements and menu restructuring are already in the pipeline, and work is underway to implement them.
Upcoming Open Source Apps in the ITarian Marketplace
Following our recent successful launch of iTop in the ITarian Marketplace, I’m excited to share more great news with you.
We’re currently working on bringing Bacula to the marketplace, expanding our open-source ecosystem even further. In addition, we’re planning to add Invoice Ninja, a powerful invoicing and billing platform that many of you have asked for.
We’ve also received feedback from several users about BookStack as a potential addition for IT documentation. We’re exploring this option and would love to hear more from the community—Is BookStack a tool you currently use or would like to see integrated? Let us know!
IT Flow seems to be a very close alternative is what I am also finding in my research. This is one of the top items in my list.
Have you used IT Flow and that is why you think it is a good alternative?
No, I just discovered it and I’m going to try it. I am tired of using spreadsheets to manage client resources, licenses, passwords, etc. I’m also looking for a solution with granular access that allows clients to directly access their account information when needed.
