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…

It's provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, although adding group names is a complicated process.
It’s always the little things. There used to be a spell-check function that allowed us to add technical terms, but it no longer exists, and I’d like to have that back. Also, adding group names is a complicated process that involves adding analyst names, and analysts change all the time, so it's nearly impossible to consistently add group names.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"The solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Its pricing is great."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"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."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"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."
