Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"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."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"The solution is very stable."
"Windows Autopilot automates much of the setup process when delivering computers with a specific image to multiple employees simultaneously. It streamlines the configuration loading process, making it more unattended and yielding consistent results. This eliminates the need for an engineer to input data on each machine manually."
"The most valuable aspect of Windows Autopilot is its automation features, which allow preset regulations and configurations."
"The most effective feature of Windows Autopilot for managing deployments is the automation."
"It is the only choice if you're managing Windows devices with Intune and Azure."
"Its most valuable feature is imaging, it takes very less time for processing."
"Windows Autopilot is very stable."
"Windows Autopilot's most valuable features are its automatic enrollment functionality and ability to detect and configure new devices seamlessly."
 

Cons

"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"We encounter issues with re-registering devices in the Azure domain."
"If Microsoft can automatically add the license serial numbers, or have a method for us to get those serial numbers added to Windows Autopilot, apart from having to go through the device manufacturer that would greatly improve the solution."
"The Azure and Intune platform is not always available and quite often, there are service outages."
"The Azure and Intune platform is not always available and quite often, there are service outages."
"Windows Autopilot could improve its user interface. While it is a good tool, there are other options available that are more user-friendly."
"They could provide an executable and user-friendly wizard for installation and automatic removal, making it easier for users."
"Windows Autopilot could improve its user interface. While it is a good tool, there are other options available that are more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"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."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"Its pricing is great."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"As far as I know, there isn't an additional cost specifically for Windows Autopilot itself. You'll need to consider the licensing fees for the software you install on the machines, such as Windows and Office. Overall, it is a valuable tool that simplifies the deployment process, making life easier for those involved."
"We are required to have a license for either EMS, E5, or E2."
