Migrate your Alloy Navigator data
ITIL-aligned ITSM and ITAM platform combining incident, asset, and change management with built-in network discovery for mid-to-large IT organizations.
In its favor
Why people choose Alloy Navigator
The signal that keeps Alloy Navigator on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Customers praise the all-in-one platform consolidating Service Desk, IT Asset Management, and Network Inventory into a single pane of glass without needing multiple tools.
The built-in self-service portal receives consistent mention as a standout feature, letting end users submit and track requests independently reducing ticket noise.
Asset discovery for Windows, Linux, and macOS devices runs automatically without third-party tools, a capability unique among competing ITSM platforms in this tier.
ITIL-aligned processes for Incident, Problem, Change, and Knowledge Management come ready-to-use with workflow automation, appealing to organizations targeting certification.
Customers value the flexible data views and dashboards enabling real-time reporting tailored to specific team workflows without requiring BI tooling.
Some customers report that evolving the software configuration over time requires significant effort and specialist knowledge to implement changes smoothly.
Response times from the internal help desk can be slow, with tickets sometimes taking days before acknowledgment, frustrating time-sensitive support teams.
The platform can feel restrictive when attempting complex custom automations or integrating with tools outside its native ecosystem, limiting flexibility for non-standard IT shops.

What gets migrated
Alloy Navigator object support
Object-by-object support for Alloy Navigator migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets/Requests
Fully supportedTickets (Service Requests) are the primary record type with a rich lifecycle spanning open, pending, resolved, and closed states. We export ticket fields, linked activities, and conversation history. Status and priority values are configurable per customer, so we map these against the destination system's schema during import.
Assets
Fully supportedAssets include hardware devices, software licenses, and consumables tracked across their full lifecycle from procurement to retirement. We migrate asset records including purchase info, assigned users, and linked contracts. The asset-to-configuration-item relationship is preserved via a reference field.
Configuration Items
Fully supportedConfiguration Items (CIs) model IT infrastructure components and their interdependencies. We export CI records and their relationship graph. Custom CI types introduced via classification are detected and included, though relationship types require explicit mapping to the destination object model.
Knowledge Base Articles
Mapping requiredKB articles contain formatted text, attachments, and category assignments. We export article body, metadata, and attachments. Category hierarchies may not map 1:1 to destination systems — we flag category name collisions and flatten deep hierarchies on request.
Organizations
Fully supportedOrganizations represent customer or partner entities with hierarchical Location records. We export org details and the full location tree. The location hierarchy depth varies by customer and may need normalization during import into flat-account models.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are people linked to Organizations, Tickets, and Assets. We export contact fields, email addresses, and organizational associations. Duplicate contact handling requires a pre-migration dedup step when contacts share the same email across organizations.
Work Orders
Fully supportedWork Orders manage scheduled tasks, assignments, and completion tracking separate from reactive tickets. We export work order records, schedules, and assignee mappings. Custom work-order-specific fields are included but may require destination field creation.
Contracts
Mapping requiredContracts link to Assets and Contacts with renewal dates, terms, and costs. We export contract metadata and linked asset references. Multi-document contracts with binary file attachments require file migration separately from the record export.
Workflows
Mapping requiredWorkflows drive business process automation including approval chains, escalations, and Create Actions. We export workflow definitions and configuration parameters. Complex conditional branching and third-party action plugins may require re-authoring in the destination system.
Users/Technicians
Fully supportedUser records include login credentials, team assignments, workload-balancing groups, and role-based permissions. We export user profiles and role mappings. Active versus inactive status must be explicitly set at import to avoid creating orphaned active accounts.
Software Licenses
Mapping requiredSoftware licenses track compliance, seat counts, and purchase records attached to Assets. We export license details and compliance metrics. License entitlement calculations are source-system-specific and may need manual reconciliation in the destination.
Locations
Fully supportedLocations form a hierarchical tree representing physical sites for Organizations. We export the full location hierarchy including address data and parent-child relationships. Deep trees with more than five levels may need flattening depending on destination schema limits.
