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.

Great notifications, a wide variety of features, and excellent monitoring capabilities
It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop. It's nice to be able to do things remotely using my phone; however, in many cases, it would be very helpful to be able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer. This would be especially useful for things like remote access to computers. It's too hard to do much on a Windows computer using a tiny phone screen. Being able to do things from a desktop or laptop computer would be much more productive.

Cons

"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."

"It would be nice if it also had a desktop application, similar to the phone app, which would allow me to monitor and control computers from my desktop."

"GUI needs to be improved and the solution lacks a process for monitoring VOIP calls."

Questions from the Community

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.
