Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools
I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"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."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
"The solution has a great filtering feature."
"The best part is the ability to keep records, especially incident records. It's easy to use the tool to store data and monitor it."
 

Cons

"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"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 network monitoring needs to be improved."
"The system shuts down about once a month which is frustrating."
"The setting up process is not quite easy. It's quite difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"Its pricing is great."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"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."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"It is expensive."
