Provides detection logic that tells us which customer will record an update and is less expensive than other solutions

I haven't had experience with customer service and support, however, we did have an advisory case with one of their technical support staff. We were publishing and getting the full metadata for the patch. We were getting the full updates for the patch release. There was confusion as to why we were seeing that in the SCCM, instead of in the full metadata patch. The support person was able to help us in understanding what we were doing wrong, highlighting it could be a certificate issue. We generated a new certificate, and after they were applied, the issue was fixed. Overall, I would rate their customer service and support a five out of five.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Ivanti Patch for SCCM is the detection logic."

"This solution is stable."

"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."

"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 helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."

"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."

"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."

"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."

"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 software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."

More NinjaOne pros

Cons

"We have some problems with patches not installing successfully."

"In future releases, I would like to see improvements with the feature upgrade for the SCCM, which Microsoft has already integrated. Currently, Ivanti does not give us information about the enablement package."

"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."

"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."

"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."

"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."

"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."

"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."

"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We do not have a license with Ivanti, instead we buy just the plugins for the consoles, making it a much less expensive option versus other solutions."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"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."

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."

"Its pricing is great."

"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."

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
