Featured Reviews

Senior Systems Administrator, Technical Lead at Connectivity Wireless
A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.
Not Joseph Pearson - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistant Vice President, Tech Solutions at LPL Financials
Has simplified remote software delivery and script management but needs improved reporting flexibility and better Mac support
NinjaOne's best features include ease of use regarding enablement and deployment, a broad selection and ability of software enablement, and API deliveries. Using CrowdStrike, we are able to tie in NinjaOne's API to have these automatically deliver to endpoints upon addition of those devices to a group with that policy deployed to it. NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance. This easier delivery with NinjaOne gives us oversight on devices without having to be on the call or remoted in directly to a device.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance."
"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 customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."
"NinjaOne saves me time and improves my troubleshooting process by providing information automatically so I don't have to search for it."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
 

Cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"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 ability to not have a NinjaOne agent or multiple NinjaOne agents on a singular device is a big pain point for the device, and secondly, the macOS support is also what keeps it from being a higher score."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"Maximizing the screen during an SSH connection is not possible, which hampers usability on Linux servers."
"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
"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."
"Its pricing is great."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for NinjaOne?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for NinjaOne is fairly cheap and easy.
What needs improvement with NinjaOne?
One challenge I face with NinjaOne is that when remoting in, sometimes the end user has a resolution with very tiny text, making it necessary to zoom in to see what the other computer is displaying...
What is your primary use case for NinjaOne?
My main use case for NinjaOne is ticketing. I use NinjaOne for ticketing in my daily work to keep track of all the computers and their uptime, and to generate tickets if there are any alerts.
