Ashwani Bansal - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Solution Consultant at Orange
Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.
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

"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"It is very good if you are a Cisco shop; it gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning."
"LiveAction LiveNX provides valuable real-time and historical network traffic visualization capabilities that help monitor and analyze network performance."
"There are many positive attributes, and it's the best of the best."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"If you're looking for a simple and cost-effective remote management tool, NinjaRMM is a good choice."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"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 most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"NinjaOne saves me time and improves my troubleshooting process by providing information automatically so I don't have to search for it."
"Since NinjaOne was implemented, I would say it represents a huge positive change."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
 

Cons

"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"They have some unique functionality but they need to create a more simplified UI."
"The only downside to this software is the price."
"My advice to others would be to run away from it. This is a slight exaggeration but this is more because the application is horrible, the stability is horrible, the performance is horrible and the support is horrible."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"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 dashboard could be easier to use."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"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."
"To improve NinjaOne, there should be better integration between multiple different software including Cisco and Meraki."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"It's very expensive."
"We use the free version."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"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."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"Its pricing is great."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
