Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The support is at a good level. So normally, we can always get to a solution when we are stuck with some monitoring problems that we encounter.""I like the remote connectivity, reporting suite, and patch management module.""It's a very robust product. They're continuing to invest and put new enhancements into the product. They're very open about what their roadmap is, which is very good for us because then as a business, we can plan.""The most valuable feature of N-able N-central is the many options it has.""The solution's service is good."

More N-able N-central Pros →

"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management.""NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked.""NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring.""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 tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates.""The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands.""The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company.""It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."

Cons
"N-able N-central could improve the remote access, my technicians have complained about it. They have used other free tools instead to compensate, such as TeamViewer. Additionally, when using remote access on the web, it is lacking reports.""The support from our direct team is very good, but the support from their day-to-day ongoing help desk isn't that good. They have still got some work to do on that, but they have been focusing on that a lot over the last number of years. So, it has gotten a lot better than it was.""The integration with other applications could be better.""There is room for improvement in the development of custom monitoring services.""The solution's overall integration should be improved."

More N-able N-central Cons →

"The graphical user interface could be improved.""The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory.""The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used.""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.""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.""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.""I want NinjaOne to improve the reports.""NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
