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.

IP address management improves network efficiency but licensing cost could decrease
We are using SolarWinds for NPM and NCM, and we use IP address management for IP address monitoring. It helps us track which IP address is live and which is not. It also provides DHCP reservation and allows us to declare IP addresses for our integration. We have been using it for IP address…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"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."
"If you're looking for a simple and cost-effective remote management tool, NinjaRMM is a good choice."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"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."
"IPAM is used for IP address reservation and tracking, helping us easily identify live IP addresses."
"The initial setup is very straightforward and it is easy to add nodes."
"The most valuable feature is the availability of end devices."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"Maximizing the screen during an SSH connection is not possible, which hampers usability on Linux servers."
"The one feature that I believe needs improvement is the software patching."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"The licensing cost is high compared to open source tools."
"The solution does not include enough features and has some performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"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."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"The solution is a bit expensive because the annual license does not include new features that are priced as add-ons."
