We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The implementation is nice and easy.""The database is great. It's a nicely ordered database.""The initial setup is easy and the deployment is quick.""A good automated scripts feature.""It's a very good IT tool for a company that provides IT services. It is very helpful for technicians to work with the tool to see all of the customers in one place and then manage all of the computers in one place.""ConnectWise Automate's interface is pretty easy to use. It's pretty intuitive to get around and navigate it. It does what I need, which is usually connecting to the client and customers systems.""It's definitely improved the help-desk servicing, et cetera.""It is very scalable."

"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes.""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 most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands.""The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management.""NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring.""NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."

Cons
"The wait time for a support ticket to be addressed needs to be reduced. They take a couple of days to get back. It is a little frustrating when we have to wait for a couple of days. A lot of times, the issue is critical for us. If we're reaching out to their support team and submitting a ticket, it is because we need it handled quickly.""I have a problem with the reports available on the solution. I don't understand how to work with the reporting functionality. For example, when I want to give a report for a specific machine, ConnectWise doesn't seem to have this as an option. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or if the reporting functionality is just poorly conceived.""Technical support was helpful.""There could be better linkages between ConnectWise Automate and Manage from a ticketing perspective. Automate and Manage each has its own ticketing system. We use the one in Manage, but it'd be nice if they were linked directly to the one in Automate.""This is a raw system. Of course, it has some flaws that could be improved. But, it's something that we will have to work with to get to the point where we need this, we request it and they do their best to make it happen.""The project management needs improvement and there's a section of the product called configuration that also needs to be improved.""Their support needs to be better.""Scheduling of automation could be improved and made more simple."

"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports.""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.""Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs.""The graphical user interface could be improved.""The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues.""NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement.""The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
