"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"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."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"The technical support needs improvement."

"Nagios XI can improve its GUI for users with a new look."
"I would like to be able to extend it to all of our data centers, whether they are in the cloud or not. It would be helpful if I could connect everywhere."
"The technical support is variable - sometimes I get answers, but most of my tickets go unanswered."
"The interface could be more user-friendly."
"The Configuration Wizard needs improvement, because not all vendors are present."
"There's room for improvement in the visibility, and in the ability to extract information. Stuff like this should be more simple."
"Open-source software is usually not user-friendly."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."

"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."

"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
