Sentiment score
7.8
NinjaOne's customer service is praised for expertise and ease of use, despite some slow technical support responses.
When a support ticket is submitted, it directly reaches someone with Intune support expertise.
When I contacted Microsoft, they had the same expertise, if not more, which is phenomenal because I felt heard and my problem was solved.
Sometimes, the support provided is excellent, and the representative is knowledgeable, while other times, the service needs improvement.
I rate their support and customer service with ConnectWise as good, as their support team is quick to answer chat requests.
Our experience with escalation supports, including auto escalation to third-level or engineering support, has been very positive.
The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten.
I rate customer service and support for NinjaOne at seven out of ten due to slow response times.

ConnectWise RMM offers scalable SaaS solutions, efficiently managing diverse environments and thousands of endpoints for flexible client requirements.
Sentiment score
7.9
NinjaOne is highly regarded for its scalability and flexibility, ideal for managing numerous devices and users efficiently.
The scalability of Microsoft Intune is ten out of ten.
Ideally, we want to automatically segregate devices based on user properties like primary use, but currently, dynamic groups seem limited to device properties.
It supports organizations with 200 endpoints and those with more than 15,000 endpoints.
I would rate the scalability of NinjaOne as ten out of ten.
The design suggests it is scalable.

I would rate the stability a ten out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

Microsoft Intune needs better application deployment, reporting, macOS/Linux support, platform integration, user-friendliness, remote desktop, and competitive pricing.
ConnectWise RMM needs better automation, customizable dashboards, and improved query flexibility, with reasonable pricing but room for enhancement.
NinjaOne needs to improve integrations, user interface, reporting, pricing, connectivity, patching, automation, dashboard usability, and backup features.
Features like unlocking devices sometimes fail, and the support offered for other operating systems is insufficient.
There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now.
Many third-party companies offer single-pane-of-glass reporting that shows you what your update environment looks like, how your patch is doing, application status, etc., but Intune's reporting is not intuitive.
The pricing for ConnectWise RMM is reasonable.
Security and reporting, including business intelligence tools, are adequate.
The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing.
The network monitoring needs to be improved.
 

Setup Cost

Microsoft Intune offers cost-effective prices with Microsoft 365 bundles, flexible licensing, and discounts for large volumes or specific sectors.
ConnectWise RMM provides flexible pricing, with costs starting at $2.50 per endpoint, including valuable NOC and help desk services.
NinjaOne is valued for its affordable, scalable pricing and cost-effectiveness, especially for small companies and educational institutions.
Introductory professional services, like a fast-track service, were included with our E5 membership, and there have been no additional costs.
The Intune suite and add-ons, such as batch management and remote help, are costly.
It costs approximately forty euros per user per month.
The pricing for NinjaOne is appropriate for small companies.
NinjaOne is reasonably priced, particularly with the inclusion of TeamViewer, SentinelOne, and Bitdefender.
The price or licensing of NinjaOne is a little bit high.
 

Valuable Features

Microsoft Intune offers seamless integration, robust management, and security features, enhancing remote device management and compliance with a user-friendly interface.
ConnectWise RMM enhances efficiency with robust patch management, remote access, automation, and intuitive integration for comprehensive network visibility.
NinjaOne streamlines IT management with remote monitoring, automation, and integration features, boosting efficiency for small businesses.
Intune excels in configuration and compliance management for Windows 10, ensuring devices receive timely updates and adhere to organizational standards.
Dynamic groups allow us to set conditions for automatic membership, eliminating the need for user intervention or manual review and ensuring a seamless workflow.
Windows Autopatch is the most valuable because it removes the burden of patch management.
The ability to do deployments through ConnectWise RMM's scripting features allows us to deploy new software or monitor the status of antivirus or system protection software, presenting another measurable benefit for us regarding ROI.
The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses.
A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage.
Every month, every quarter, I see new features, and it is always evolving.

AkashKamble - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables management of multiple operating systems with a single license
The best feature is that it's a Microsoft product, so if anything goes wrong, we get quick support for anything required. Remote system functionality allows us to sit anywhere and take control of any device via remote management. We can enhance security for clients' laptops with built-in Microsoft Defender, which is available with the Microsoft Intune license. We use it for reporting purposes through endpoint analytics. When pushing scripting, there are two types available: remediation script and reservation script. Through endpoint analytics, you can push defender policies to clients. It helps with reporting, inventory updates, and monitoring tenant status health.

An agent-based solution that monitors and manages various networks but lacks support
Once you've established the client in the RMM tool, you create the site. Setting up the site can be a bit onerous because of the recent changes, which we need to learn. However, once it's set up, deploying the agent is extremely simple and straightforward. It's as easy as using a URL that people can visit, which will automatically determine the environment and download the necessary components. The initial setup can be somewhat challenging. If it's a new site, it'll probably take me about an hour to set it up. It's a matter of getting familiar with the process. As far as deploying the agents to the individual endpoints is concerned, that's literally minutes. Customers can do that themselves. A few of us can do set up the initial site. Anyone can handle the agents deployment. In our case, it's quite doable even by sending the URL to the customer.
