Migrate your ITarian Helpdesk data
Free-tier RMM and helpdesk bundle for small MSPs and IT teams, with per-device pricing that scales down to under $1/endpoint. The trade-off is a dated interface and limited depth compared to enterprise ITSM platforms.
In its favor
Why people choose ITarian Helpdesk
The signal that keeps ITarian Helpdesk on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Free PSA tier with ticketing, service desk, and remote control included, making it viable for very small MSPs to evaluate before committing budget.
Per-device pricing at sub-$1 rates for high-volume endpoint counts, undercutting most competitors at the 500–1000+ device tier.
Fast onboarding with no sales call required — users report creating an account and accessing core features within minutes.
Built-in remote access and remote monitoring capabilities as part of the same platform, reducing the need for separate RMM tooling.
Trusted by over 1 million users according to vendor, providing social proof for IT teams risk-averse to lesser-known tools.
Interface and feature set feel dated compared to newer ITSM platforms like NinjaOne or Atera, driving teams toward modern alternatives.
Users report billing surprises and inconsistent support quality when issues arise, mentioned explicitly in alternative-comparison articles.
Limited advanced IT management features — automation depth, reporting, and AI capabilities lag behind enterprise-grade ITSM tools.
Remote connection reliability issues documented on the community forum since 2019, with connection drops and repeated reconnect attempts.
Teams outgrow the platform as they scale beyond ~500 endpoints and require deeper PSA functionality, SLA automation, or multi-tenant reporting.

Pricing tiers
ITarian Helpdesk pricing overview
ITarian uses a free base tier for PSA and helpdesk functions, then charges per device per month for RMM and MDM coverage. Device pricing decreases non-linearly with volume, incentivizing larger endpoint counts. There is no per-agent pricing for the helpdesk itself, which contrasts with many competitors that charge per seat.

What gets migrated
ITarian Helpdesk object support
Object-by-object support for ITarian Helpdesk migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Tickets
Fully supportedThe primary ticket object in ITarian Helpdesk. We export all standard ticket fields including status, priority, assignee, requester, subject, description, and timestamps. Custom ticket fields are mapped field-by-field during migration scoping.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records store contact details and company association. We map these to the destination's Contact/Company objects, preserving email addresses, phone numbers, and organizational affiliation.
Agents
Mapping requiredAgent profiles include name, email, role, and team assignment. Role names (Admin, Technician, Viewer) map to equivalent permission tiers in the destination but may require manual role alignment review.
Teams
Mapping requiredITarian groups agents into Teams for ticket routing. We map team assignments directly but verify that the destination supports equivalent team-based routing configuration.
SLA Policies
Mapping requiredSLA Policies define response and resolution time targets by priority level. We map these to destination SLA configurations but SLA calculation logic (business hours vs calendar time) must be validated post-migration.
Workflows
Mapping requiredAutomated workflows trigger on ticket conditions such as status change, priority, or assignment. We export workflow definitions as configuration records and recommend a rebuild in the destination using its native automation builder for reliability.
Knowledge Base Articles
Mapping requiredKB articles in ITarian store title, body content, and category association. We export article content and category structure, then map to the destination's KB format. Formatting differences (HTML vs Markdown) require post-migration review.
Assets
Mapping requiredAssets tracked in ITarian Endpoint Manager can be associated with tickets. We export the asset-to-ticket linkage and map it to the destination's asset or device object, flagging any unlinked orphaned assets.
Custom Ticket Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields on tickets vary per deployment. We discover the full custom field schema during discovery, map each field's data type to an equivalent destination field, and flag any unsupported data types.
Attachments
Mapping requiredFile attachments on tickets and KB articles are stored as binary blobs. We export attachments to cloud storage and re-attach them at the corresponding record in the destination system.
