We performed a comparison between NinjaOne and Zendesk based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Service Management (ITSM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"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 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 important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"The most valuable features of Zendesk Support are collaboration, reports, and a self-service portal. The customer and team can see all the information needed from the portal."
"One of the most valuable features is that Zendesk gives you a lot of configurability, and a lot of leeway in terms of customizing the look and theme. Zendesk offers you the facility to design your own landing page, as well as the look and feel of the entire knowledge base. At the same time, they offer themes that you can simply purchase and implement. Either way, it can really be turned into the right look and feel of the knowledge base required by our company, which is very important—if you have a bland-looking page, most of the time, people will lose interest. Zendesk also allows you to test the customizations before you publish it. It gives you a sandbox location where you can test everything new that you're trying to create and publish, which is very interesting."
"What is cool about Zendesk Guide is how it works together with others Zendesk products. Especially with support and with the analytics. Put those together for a small or medium-sized company and it's a really powerful tool."
"The initial setup is simple and straightforward."
"The product offers very good management. It has a great ability to assign tickets based on content."
"Its agility and simplicity are the most valuable features. This tool is very user-friendly."
"It's very convenient to use."
"The stability has been very good."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"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."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"They have something called Zendesk Explore, which isn't as good as what they had in place previously."
"It needs to improve in terms of its flexibility, price, and installation."
"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."
"The solution itself wasn't easy to set up."
"Sometimes if there was a way to just flag the actual issue out of those email chains - that would be really helpful."
"The price of the solution should be reduced."
"You couldn't give administrative access to new hires."
"If I write an article, and I have a team of 30 people, and they all have a Zendesk account, when I write an article, I send them an email. "Hey guys, I just wrote this article. It's one of the most popular topics this month on which we are not covered. Please check it and make sure that you include it in your resolutions". The issue is, once I send it to those 30 people, and they open it, the next morning, that article is the most popular article."
