Works brilliantly, great pricing and support, and has a simple web interface and capable mobile app
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for monitoring and alerting related to our client's network infrastructure. It is a SaaS solution. We have its latest version. It is mostly cloud-based in terms of the interface. The agents get updated automatically.

What is most valuable?

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for maybe two or three years. We purchased it at one point, left it for another RMM, and then came back to Ninja. In this last cycle, it has probably been two years.

772,127 professionals have used our research since 2012.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have had minor issues, but they were far less than what we had in the past with other RMM tools.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Its scalability is good. We've kind of cut back a little bit, but I don't see any problems with taking on over a thousand workstations if we have to within that system. Our clients are small businesses not exceeding 25 users.

How are customer service and support?

Their tech support is excellent. They were smart on the phone. I would rate them a ten out of ten. They are good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were using Ninja when it first came out, but at that time, the actual alerts and events were not coming in a timely matter, and as a troubleshooting tool, the events and updates weren't as fast, but now, it looks like those issues have been resolved. So, it works brilliantly.

We were using Pulseway, which we recently dropped, and we are back to Ninja. We were using it to supplement Ninja, but overall Ninja is great. Ninja is all web-based as compared to Pulseway. I have also used SolarWinds and other products in addition to Pulseway, but Ninja holds tone. It has a very simple web interface.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Its pricing is great.

What other advice do I have?

Within the MSP space, there are limited PSA tools that we're able to use to integrate with it. They do have an API, and I have a developer working on something to integrate with Integromat, which is an API connection tool. We're currently trying to build something out to connect to their API, which just started moving forward. Their API version 2 recently came out, and that was a little bit of a headache, but we're moving forward with that now. So, I can't really complain about it, but it has just kind of delayed our project.

I would definitely recommend this solution. I would rate NinjaRMM a ten out of ten.

Could be cost-effective and provide a better user interface
Pros and Cons
  • "NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
  • "NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."

What needs improvement?

NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Compared to NinjaOne, Atera is more user-friendly and lightweight, has better infrastructure, and provides easy access to any machine. Also, NinjaOne has a user-based licensing plan, whereas Atera offers bundled licenses.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices.

What other advice do I have?

NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked. Performance-wise, it works well for any enterprise tool. However, Atera is more cost-effective.

I would not recommend NinjaOne to other customers. I rate it a two out of ten.

Great at managing updates and providing remote support
Pros and Cons
  • "Good at managing updates and for remote support."
  • "Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."

What is our primary use case?

The use case of NinjaOne is to remotely manage computers for clients. I'm a full-stack developer in virtual education.

What is most valuable?

NinjaOne is good at managing all updates and helped me carry out remote support on my client's computers through TeamViewer. It also helped with management of the antivirus that I deployed through bitdefender. The most valuable feature is automated remote management.

What needs improvement?

The main issue I had was the cost and I recently moved away from this solution as a result. I would have liked to have seen more integrations with other PSAs and other remote access systems.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

This solution was quite expensive. 

What other advice do I have?

This is a great option if you have enough endpoints to make it worth the cost. It's a good product and I rate it eight out of 10.

Goog support, SLA system allows to check the performance and good documentation
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

The main use was for the ticketing system. Users create tickets, and they are generated. We assign the tickets. There is an SLA system. 

Every kind of issue raised by the user is generated on NinjaOne, and we assign it to the IT person. There is an SLA system, a time-based system, and a ticketing system.

What is most valuable?

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 main thing is that the IT person can manage things within the time before the SLA is breached. I like this kind of feature. Sensu doesn't have an SLA feature.

The main thing is that NinjaOne provides the best documentation, and Ninja support is the best. They are cooperative. So that's why deployment and integration with other tools are easy to understand for level two support engineers and up.

What needs improvement?

NinjaOne didn't have a lot of issues, but a few things. Like, I used and I experienced that 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 first one is the delay issue.

The second thing is that there is no reporting system. As an IT person, there is no exact reporting system that we can generate ourselves. This feature should be free because now I use Sensu and I can generate all my reports: what I am doing, what I understand, how many things I resolved, and how many tickets I resolved.

Multiple times I contacted Ninja support, and I discussed multiple things, like the delay. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I used it for 15 to 16 months in my previous company. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

There are some breakdowns sometimes. It's like every kind of software; some breakdowns happen. The main point is the delay, that's the main point. Other than that, it's not a breakdown. 

Sometimes, every kind of software goes down. These kinds of things happen in technology.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I am able to add users if I want. In my previous company, different teams used it, including the migration team, server team, VM team, support team, and so on. So, there were like 400 plus users.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

For one year, I used Atera for everything. But in 2022, my company moved to NinjaOne RMM. Now, I've switched to a different company, and we are using Sensu. So, I used Atera for one year as a team lead.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment doesn't take a lot of time. It's easy to install and easy to understand the deployment and installation. 

The good thing is there's an option in NinjaOne where we just click and go to the Ninja documentation, and we can follow the documentation and deploy. I deployed some servers in NinjaOne using this setup.

What other advice do I have?

For first-time users, there are a lot of things on the platform, and we need to understand them before we can edit. According to my experience, NinjaOne is best for ticketing systems. 

The only point I highlighted is the delay in IT support, response time and delay are most critical. Other than that, it's easy to onboard.

It is somewhat easy to learn. There is an option where we can just click and go to the NinjaOne knowledge desk. There, you can find everything: how to install, how to use, how to assign things, and how to deploy on machines. So, I'm sure NinjaOne is easy to understand for first-time users. It's not complicated.

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

A simple and cost-effective remote management solution that serves the purpose
Pros and Cons
  • "It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
  • "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."

We use it for managing servers and workstations across multiple locations. We are using its latest version.

How has it helped my organization?

It has definitely made it much more efficient for us to function.

Great monitoring but dashboard and backup could be improved
Pros and Cons
  • "NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
  • "NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."

What is our primary use case?

I primarily use NinjaOne for monitoring clients and backups.

What is most valuable?

NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring.

What needs improvement?

NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use. Its backup feature could also be improved. In the next release, NinjaOne should include backups to other clouds than their own.

For how long have I used the solution?

I'm just starting to use NinjaOne.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

NinjaOne is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

NinjaOne's monitoring is scalable, but its backup isn't.

How are customer service and support?

NinjaOne's technical support is not responsive - they do not respond to inquiries.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was easy and took around ten to twenty minutes.

What about the implementation team?

We used a vendor team.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I'm also evaluating Acronis, Veeam, and MSP360.

What other advice do I have?

I would give NinjaOne a rating of seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
