Fast with an easy setup and a good interface
I recall that there was something about the pricing structure that wasn't ideal, but I cannot recall the exact details. I’ve been looking at: ConnectWise, Kaseya, N-Able [ SolarWinds non-hacked tool :-) ], and others. But I think it’s an oversight, on my part, that I didn’t consider LogMeIn as an RMM tool for some current projects. I’m going to give LogMeIn a fair shake going forward. One of the items I’d like to see is a robust API, like ConnectWise has – I assume there is one. All in all, I think anyone looking for an RMM solution, should give LogMeIn a good look, as I was previously very satisfied with the product(s).

Easily implement, monitor, and manage remote users
We usually give the developer feedback through our account manager and also the technical person that we reach out to once in a while and most of the time, they take the feedback and within a couple of months, they implement and roll out an audit. The one feature that I believe needs improvement is the software patching. NinjaOne still lacks the ability to patch third-party software that is not already added to its list of managed applications. For those applications, we have to deploy Chocolatey, which is another third-party application that we use to patch third-party software not listed on NinjaOne's portal. The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory. So for a cloud-only environment like ours, it's impossible to implement because we don't have a long-range server.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"​The initial setup was simple."
"I like the security aspect, that I can glance down and see quickly who's up to date on patches, and who has virus concerns."
"​The initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"I like the encryption and security of LogMeIn. I think the end-to-end security on it, in and of itself, is really good. I use the two-point login system and it's great."
"It allows you to transfer along with many other functions."
"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It’s enabled me to remotely do updates to servers and workstations in off-hours – without needing to travel into the office. Makes my life much easier."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."
"The best feature of NinjaOne is the SLA system. Every IT person can check their performance, how long it takes to resolve an issue, and how many SLAs are breached."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"Good at managing updates and for remote support."
"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
 

Cons

"I have had issues where LogMeIn has not been useful, then we have not been able to work that day. This happens probably two or three times a year."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"They should provide intermediate device limit options for the users."
"LogMeIn Rescue could be made a lot easier where you could just tell the person where to go and log in, and they could just log in. Or even make it simpler where you could just send a file to a person and they would click on it; just something easier. The way they have it right now, it's not easy."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"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."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"We went with it for pricing reasons, that it was the biggest bang for our buck, by combining the ability to have a central security console, as well as a central point for user administration."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."
"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."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"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."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"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."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"Its pricing is great."
