We performed a comparison between NinjaOne and SolarWinds NPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"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."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"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 installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"Good at managing updates and for remote support."
"I love the GUI. Almost everything is accessible through the web interface. It is very user-friendly. It is easy to drag and drop resources wherever you want them."
"The nice thing about SolarWinds is that it's kind of all-in-one. I can manage the status of my networking devices, whether they are up or down, I can see how much traffic is going across an interface, and I can run a report that tells me exactly what that traffic is."
"The alerting and usage tracking notifications on disk space capacity, network and processor utilization."
"The SolarWinds NPM framework, upon which most of their flagship products are built, empowers a wide variety of admins and users to quickly find value in their installed products."
"The benefit of this solution is the reporting. We're able to report on and see our network in a graphical form. We are able to detect when a device is added to a network."
"The solution is very user-friendly."
"Their support team is efficient, and it is easy to set up."
"We don't have any issues with the stability of SolarWinds NPM."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"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."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"SolarWinds NPM could improve the graphics of the interface and more customized reporting."
"The scalability can be better."
"The solution is not always good with new features, so it's take a long time."
"An area for improvement would be the use of modular licenses, which are not practical for big clients."
"The solution's network discovery and node addition processes need more work."
"We also had to be attentive to vulnerabilities, because SolarWinds NPM have some issues in that area. We had to work with our security team, so that they could help us check and backup the data, and check what they needed to secure."
"It is difficult for stakeholders to translate technical requirements, which results in difficulties selecting a platform or implementing a solution."
"Currently lacks integration with SMS services."
