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.

Great notifications, a wide variety of features, and excellent monitoring capabilities
It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop. It's nice to be able to do things remotely using my phone; however, in many cases, it would be very helpful to be able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer. This would be especially useful for things like remote access to computers. It's too hard to do much on a Windows computer using a tiny phone screen. Being able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer would be much more productive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The biggest thing for me is having monitoring, remote access, patch management, and software deployment all in one place, which simplifies managing my client endpoints and saves me a lot of manual effort."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"Since NinjaOne was implemented, I would say it represents a huge positive change."
"The best feature of NinjaOne is the SLA system. Every IT person can check their performance, how long it takes to resolve an issue, and how many SLAs are breached."
"The solution has great workflow and server modules."
"One of the applications I have used the most was to troubleshoot users and I've never faced difficulties or issues with the application itself."
"So this solution allows for 24/7 support and is very handy."
"The setup is simple."
"It gives you remote control and has a mobile app."
"It has made life a lot easier for the administrators."
"It has been very helpful to get notifications about various issues with my servers and network to help me take action to resolve problems before they become major issues."
"Using this platform has allowed us to reach and assist our remotely based clients, regardless of their location provided they have an internet connection."
 

Cons

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The one feature that I believe needs improvement is the software patching."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"One challenge I face with NinjaOne is that when remoting in, sometimes the end user has a resolution with very tiny text, making it necessary to zoom in to see what the other computer is displaying."
"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."
"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."
"Sometimes the speed is a problem. When I've been remote controlling people, from time to time, there were some issues with people in Hong Kong."
"Support needs to be improved because we've sometimes had to wait 24 hours to get a response."
"There are some bugs or glitches."
"However, the solution does not allow you to make a script for just one customer, so it would be great if that is improved."
"They have good technical support but it's not excellent."
"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."
"Remote Desktop Assistance for Mac endpoints - not having this functionality is a major inconvenience in having to have two systems for clients using this platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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