We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable fractures of Clarity SM are its ease of use and security. I have been highly satisfied. We've been able to integrate it with email and an SMS gateway for the purposes of notifications. That works very well.""It also provides the front end for the employees too. It's pretty basic, but it gives them the means to reach out to IT so they don't have to pick up the phones.""Ability to write macros, which can in turn trigger some condition or could be conditioned to basically trigger notifications, the workflow desk, or web calls. It is huge benefit to customize it.""The flexibility and being able to connect to multiple products are valuable. It allows to use it the way we want to use it versus the way it came out of the box.""It has given us the ability to automate a lot of tasks, things we couldn't do before.""Self-service interface means people can check their own tickets.""It gives us one central location to know, not only who is contacting us, but what they're contacting us for, what application they're contacting us for.""It has a good GUI interface."

"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.""The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good.""Good at managing updates and for remote support.""The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company.""NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring.""It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently.""NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely.""The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."

Cons
"Right now, you have to create the Scoreboards individually for roles or users. If they could separate that functionality, and create the scoreboards separately, and then just link scoreboards to roles and users - that way you could reuse the same ones - that would be a huge benefit. I know, because they're a nightmare to manage at times.""Diversifying notification methods with pop-ups or ready-made WhatsApp or Skype integration packages would be welcome.""Improvements would include simplification in the user interface, being more expandable, better documentation. The user interface is fairly cluttered, and we can update it the way we need to, but it just seems dated.""The methodology introduced for Level 1 analysts needs to be taken to Change Management Process. It would be useful to be able to look in Change Management and see the current status of the process.""Just little technical tweaks here and there. Like more options. For example "Organization." We wanted that to be available inside the change order, as well as the ticket and the request. And that's not available.""I am not able to see tickets on a bigger scale. I can't see the overall bigger picture.""I would also like to see a simpler reporting tool. They went from one fairly robust, very complex, reporting tool - it was great - and then they went to another one that was also fairly complex and robust. That's a great tool for people who are report writers, but for the average person who just wants to get a quick little report, it's like handing somebody a chainsaw because they have to break some toothpicks in half.""The API is very, very bad so we developed our own."

"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs.""The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues.""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.""The graphical user interface could be improved.""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.""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 would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
