Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes.""It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently.""It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it.""The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates.""Good at managing updates and for remote support.""NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring.""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."

More NinjaOne Pros →

"It has good management, the ability to sign tickets based on content, the multi-channel support, the self service portal, the integration with Salesforce, the setup process, and the product features as we are currently using them.""One of the most valuable features is the ease of use. If you take the standalone product, it is so easy to use, but if you want a tailor-made Zendesk Guide, you can't do it yourself. However, you can use a template that already exists—they have a lot, and they're very cheap, around 300-400 euros—and use it on all your brands. It's a very easy product to use.""The feature to move over my customer experience team tickets for different specialists is very valuable for my team.""It is a scalable solution.""We rarely had issues with Zendesk.""Zendesk Support has a lot of good APIs.""It's very convenient to use.""Its agility and simplicity are the most valuable features. This tool is very user-friendly."

Cons
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement.""I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands.""Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs.""The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used.""There was a lot of delay with NinjaOne's ticketing system. For example, when a user creates a ticket and raises an issue, it would take 30 to 40 minutes to appear on the IT side. So the time delay issue is the main point.""The graphical user interface could be improved.""The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory.""NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."

More NinjaOne Cons →

"The price of the solution should be reduced.""One of the drawbacks of Zendesk is that it doesn't provide a secure way for us to send data. So, we usually use a secure SharePoint folder link. We put that in the Zendesk ticket so that the requester has a secure way of getting to their data.""Sometimes if there was a way to just flag the actual issue out of those email chains - that would be really helpful.""The support team is time-consuming, and they don't find the answer to our problem.""It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation.""The solution could integrate better with QR codes from some websites such as Facebook.""As per me, there arent much significant issues or areas for improvement with Zendesk, as my usage of it is limited. I appreciate its ability to organize tickets effectively based on tags, allowing me to easily gather and analyze customer feedback and requests.""Zendesk Guide's customization could be improved. I would like it to be easier and maybe open-sourced, so that if you have a developer in your company, you can do it yourself. Right now, that isn't allowed, so you need to have it done via the integrator. Another improvement—this is nit-picking—is that it could be less easy to make changes. Some things are so easy that they sometimes look a little amateur-ish. Most of the templates are built-in so they can be used directly, so they are very simple."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
  • "Its pricing is great."
  • "NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
  • "We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
  • "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."
  • "I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
  • More NinjaOne Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We pay for the solution on a yearly basis and my understanding is that the cost is about $30,000. That's the cost for 24 to 25 agents."
  • "The price is very competitive."
  • "Zendesk's licensing is not cheap. For Enterprise, we are paying $200 per agent. It's a per-month cost, so it's pretty steep. There are some services you need to pay extra for. For example, with Zendesk Guide, we had to buy the most expensive offering in order to get Multibrand and everything. We also had to pay a lot of money for themes."
  • "There are different plans that are offered. We are using the entry-level plan. The overall price of the solution should be reduced. The price is too high."
  • "You have to pay extra for better support. So it's not only the license that you pay for, but you have to pay extra for the support as well."
