Himanshu Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
High performance, quick packet monitoring, and helpful support
The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately. In a feature release of the solution they should add features related to automation and remediation. Automation would help increase level of security the solution provides.

Pros

"The most valuable features of NIKSUN NetVCR are its performance and forensic capabilities. Additionally, the information that the solution provides is highly detailed and useful. When dealing with network traffic packets can be sent at a high speed causing some security issues, but this solution is able to rapidly monitor the packets providing security."
"The unique selling point of NIKSUN is its ability to scale and its reporting capabilities. NIKSUN captures the packets at a very high speed, from one GB to 160 Gbps also. It offers report granularity in nanoseconds."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."
"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."
"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
"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."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately."
"NIKSUN is a passive solution. It provides you with you data, alerts, reports and the root cause of issues. However, it requires a person to make use of this functionality. If an event is happening and nobody attends to it, the effects of the event could be severe."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
