We performed a comparison between Microsoft Configuration Manager and NinjaOne based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Patch Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution helps us by automating the patching of our system."
"I like a lot of the reporting capabilities and baseline configurations."
"The tool's most valuable features are easy patch management and software deployment."
"The scalability to deploy the package."
"SCCM does everything from A to Z for a Windows operating system."
"Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager is very scalable."
"This solution captures all the devices in our infrastructure."
"Endpoint Manager is valuable to our organization because it allows us to connect to our enterprise from remote locations securely. The most useful feature is its robustness and scalability. It is highly scalable and flexible, allowing us to use it in various environments. Additionally, we can specialize the policies related to each device group. This ensures that each group has access to the applications they need for their work and non-work hours."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"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 has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"Good at managing updates and for remote support."
"The best feature of NinjaOne is the SLA system. Every IT person can check their performance, how long it takes to resolve an issue, and how many SLAs are breached."
"The deployment process is lengthy and should be quicker to complete."
"It would be better if reporting were more user-friendly. I would like to see an upgrade in the reporting structure in the next release. At the moment, you have to use an SQL query or configure it to pull reports through the graphical user interface. Their updates could be more regular. I think Mircosoft updates it every six months. They are also moving many things to Intune, and Microsoft decided to move the deployment solution there. I think SCCM is getting old, and Intune is new."
"The time the solution takes for updating systems could be quicker. For example, the system information status is not updating as it should. Additionally, the database synchronization querying is slow and could be improved."
"The solution is a bit heavy on the sources such as RAM or CPU and the software needs to be a bit lighter."
"I would like to see some improvements in WSUS and control of other, non-Microsoft, product updates."
"The solution does not support remote devices so the CMG is still required."
"Could do with some cosmetic improvements on the user interface."
"SCCM should strive to enhance the accuracy of its reporting functions in order to avoid any issues with incorrect or inaccurate data."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
