Cost effective but when we originally purchased LANGuardian, some features needed further development.
The ability to detect and decipher torrent traffic for the purpose of identifying what some refer to as "copyright violators" Our CIO asked us to track down the source of undesired uploads, which trigger e-mails received by outside bodies regarding what they refer to as "copyright violations",…

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

"If you are looking for a solid solution that can be easily deployed then I'd recommend considering Netfort solutions."
"Our CIO asked us to track down the source of undesired uploads, which trigger e-mails received by outside bodies regarding what they refer to as "copyright violations", and Languardian was the most efficient and effective tool for the job."
"NinjaOne allows even small teams of three users to support over 400 desktops and keep them up to date and working at peak performance."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"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 most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"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."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"The best features NinjaOne offers are that I can see every device across the network regardless of location, and it is fantastic at being able to really control everything we have."
 

Cons

"It takes a long time to load results. I think it would be great if they fix the slowness issue in the next release."
"Sure, at the time we bought the product, the GUI and graphs/reports/pie charts etc ... were not fully developed."
"Maximizing the screen during an SSH connection is not possible, which hampers usability on Linux servers."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"To improve NinjaOne, there should be better integration between multiple different software including Cisco and Meraki."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"Its pricing is great."
"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."
