Himanshu Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Partner at Opticom Data Products
High performance, quick packet monitoring, and helpful support
The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately. In a feature release of the solution they should add features related to automation and remediation. Automation would help increase level of security the solution provides.

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

"The unique selling point of NIKSUN is its ability to scale and its reporting capabilities. NIKSUN captures the packets at a very high speed, from one GB to 160 Gbps also. It offers report granularity in nanoseconds."
"NIKSUN provides you with the why, what, when and where type of answers to all your network problems."
"The most valuable features of NIKSUN NetVCR are its performance and forensic capabilities. Additionally, the information that the solution provides is highly detailed and useful. When dealing with network traffic packets can be sent at a high speed causing some security issues, but this solution is able to rapidly monitor the packets providing security."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"NinjaOne has positively impacted my organization by providing an easier way to deploy machines, manage them, troubleshoot, and assist people."
"NinjaOne helped us address our user complaints regarding the system as well as providing us the ability to push software updates directly from NinjaOne to the user's device."
"NinjaOne saves me time and improves my troubleshooting process by providing information automatically so I don't have to search for it."
"The best features NinjaOne offers are that I can see every device across the network regardless of location, and it is fantastic at being able to really control everything we have."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by having automatic mitigation. For example, as soon as a problem occurs the solution alarms and mitigates the situation immediately."
"NIKSUN is a passive solution. It provides you with you data, alerts, reports and the root cause of issues. However, it requires a person to make use of this functionality. If an event is happening and nobody attends to it, the effects of the event could be severe."
"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."
"Maximizing the screen during an SSH connection is not possible, which hampers usability on Linux servers."
"Customer support is active and proactive, but not reachable 24/7, which is an issue."
"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."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"NinjaOne can be improved by making mobile usage on the system cheaper because it becomes an expensive commodity."
"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is high. There is an annual license costs."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"Its pricing is great."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
