System Administrator at Alghanim Industries
Enables organizations to install patches easily, but the UI must be more user-friendly
We can push many things from a centralized endpoint system. If we want to install software on multiple servers, we can do it from the centralized system. We can also run commands and push packages from a centralized location. We can automate things. Images are deployed on our laptops through Ivanti. Whenever a new laptop comes, we connect to the network, and the system gets installed with predefined applications. It happens automatically.
Not Joseph Pearson - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Vice President, Tech Solutions at LPL Financials
Has simplified remote software delivery and script management but needs improved reporting flexibility and better Mac support
NinjaOne's best features include ease of use regarding enablement and deployment, a broad selection and ability of software enablement, and API deliveries. Using CrowdStrike, we are able to tie in NinjaOne's API to have these automatically deliver to endpoints upon addition of those devices to a group with that policy deployed to it. NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance. This easier delivery with NinjaOne gives us oversight on devices without having to be on the call or remoted in directly to a device.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Clear visibility regarding the status of the endpoint."
"When it comes to Ivanti Patch for endpoints, I find peer-to-peer patching valuable. Having a peer-to-peer patching capability is highly beneficial for us."
"The product is easy to use, easy to implement, and easy to manage."
"It's been doing a lot for us, especially with third-party software patching and scheduling. We create multiple projects for monthly patch distribution and manage it all well."
"Because of the internet gateway, we were able to get clear visibility regarding the status of the endpoint which we needed to do recently when everyone was working from home."
"If you are new to the MSP space and need an easy-to-set-up that can grow with your business and licensing, NinjaOne is an excellent option."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance."
"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
"NinjaOne helped us address our user complaints regarding the system as well as providing us the ability to push software updates directly from NinjaOne to the user's device."
"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."
 

Cons

"The major challenges are macOS updates, patching, and backups. And for drawbacks, I wish Patch management was cloud-based instead of hosted on our own server."
"It would be great to have an easier way to patch Linux machines within the product."
"The UI must be more user-friendly."
"Inability to configure a rule-based management."
"I'm currently struggling with one of the issues related to Linux or Ubuntu. Ivanti does not support Ubuntu and it has a limitation of CentOS to a specific version, which is CentOS 7, not 8."
"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."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"Maximizing the screen during an SSH connection is not possible, which hampers usability on Linux servers."
"The one feature that I believe needs improvement is the software patching."
"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, it is on the expensive side."
"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."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"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."
