Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes.""The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates.""NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked.""Good at managing updates and for remote support.""NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely.""The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good.""NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring.""The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."

More NinjaOne Pros →

"The solution's initial setup process is easy.""I have found many features that are important and that are easier when compared to Remedy; for example, the Scripted REST APIs and the Flow Designer... The Client scripts are simpler when you compare with Remedy.""For change management, I find the CAB workbench very useful. I haven't seen any other solution that has a CAB workbench or advanced automated solutions for a change advisory board. ServiceNow also has the Workflow Engine which works very well and is very intuitive.""Easy to integrate with third-party applications.""If it is a high priority, they will respond very quickly. If it is a low priority issue, it might take some time, some three or four days. I would rate the technical support as a 10 out of 10.""The analytics - we like to keep track of how much work everyone is doing.""Some of the valuable features I have found the solution to have are it can serve many different types of businesses, it has strong platform capabilities, provides application development, built-in predictive intelligence, and performance analytics reports.""The solution has a user-friendly interface."

Cons
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands.""NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement.""NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome.""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.""NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use.""The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best.""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."

More NinjaOne Cons →

"The setup was time-consuming and required a lot of internal resources.""We can't update bulk tickets using a simple query language. Jira lets us update hundreds of tickets with one command. In ServiceNow, you need to select each task separately to close them. The dashboards could also be more user-friendly. Monday.com has better dashboards.""They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation.""It's a great platform, but there's still room for improvement. As the solutions stands now, you do need a lot of previous experience to use it. It would be great if they could develop some use case templates. This would be beneficial for a small and medium-sized businesses.""It should have more artificial intelligence for business and work capabilities. The community is not so active. There must be initiatives to make the community talk more and share more information.""The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data.""The visuals are the one area where there is opportunity for improvement.""An area for improvement would be the accessibility of downloaded and compressed files."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
  • "Its pricing is great."
  • "NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
  • "We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
  • "It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
  • "The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
  • "NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
  • "I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
  • More NinjaOne Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
  • "It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
  • "We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
  • "It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
  • "ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
  • "ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
  • "Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
  • "Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
