Find out in this report how the two IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of use and integration made it a worthwhile investment, since we did some integrations with other tools making our lives easier."
"The most valuable features of BMC Helix ITSM are the ease to use and integration."
"The solution has good capabilities for analytics."
"With service requests, we have been able to give visibility to the business users."
"The versatility and customizability of the product is what I like most."
"It has centralized all work orders and help desk ticket tracking."
"The most valuable features of BMC Helix ITSM are the collaboration, integrated with the help of another solution called Entity. We can do all the integration and receive an automatic ticket with the help of email. We are able to receive SMS alerts to clients and end users. Every step of the ticket is generated and we are able to resolve and close them. It's very helpful to have the ability to inform the user with detailed information."
"Currently, the Service Catalog has the most value to it. Mainly, because we are able to offer IT functionality to non-IT people."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"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."
"Needs less infrastructure requirements."
"Encountered issues with scalability and stability."
"Provide documentation on the content of the REST API interfaces. Right now, it is pretty much non-existent."
"Its performance can be improved. Sometimes, there is a performance issue, and it is a little slow and difficult on the usage side. It would be beneficial for us if there is a lighter version of this solution. There is also a limitation on the number of columns and memory for extracting a report, and this functionality can be improved. We would like to have better integration and UI in this solution. The user interface should be easy to navigate. Its integration with other tools, such as SharePoint or Jira, can also be improved, which would be beneficial for us. In terms of new features, there should also be a mobile version. The desktop version is available, but the mobile version is not available, which is one of the challenges that our team has. For users who work on Remedy and who raise the ticket, it would also be very beneficial to have some chatbot features."
"The interface is one major complaint about this product."
"Whenever you start exploring some new product features, you run into defects. It has been like this for the last six years."
"The Approval Central system needs to be refreshed."
"Our middleman provider limits the available functionality so we cannot even do our own analytics."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"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."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
