Anoir LOUHICHI - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration flexibility and informative dashboards enable effective workflow management
Ivanti Neurons allows me to adjust our workflow according to our needs. It offers flexibility, integration with our solution, sends alerts, and provides information about service availability. The tool also allows me to manage partners and deal with recurrent incidents and errors. The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers.
Jörg Köhler - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments, because we have group assignments. When we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"I like Cloud Neurons. Since it's a cloud version, it's much easier to enhance productivity because it collects all the information automatically."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"The interface, workflow, and dashboards are powerful and easy to manage for tracking KPIs and sharing strategies with our customers."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
 

Cons

"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"Perhaps one area that could see enhancement is at the hardware level, particularly regarding endpoint control."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"There could be an improvement in the ability to easily integrate other systems without extensive development."
"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne. It also didn't integrate with Trend Micro, which we were using previously. I would also like to have more control from the mobile app. As of now, I am able to see some performance values, but I can't see, for example, disk activity or disk performance values. If they can improve their app a little bit, it would help greatly. They can also improve the tech interface. If I assign certain techs to a bunch of specific machines, they only get those alerts that they're assigned to."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."
"There was a lot of delay with NinjaOne's ticketing system. For example, when a user creates a ticket and raises an issue, it would take 30 to 40 minutes to appear on the IT side. So the time delay issue is the main point."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"Its pricing is great."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
