Fulfills all IT management needs, simple setup, but could be more user-friendly
Unfortunately, we were not able to implement the mobility feature so I won't be able to provide feedback on it (and it was something that has been requested since we have field workers and given the WFH case due to the pandemic). This is due to results of security tests and which we were not yet able to address in our environment. We've been also trying to integrate our current system with discovery solutions but it was not easy. I am not sure if it is due to the fact that we still have an older version of the AlembavFire product. Also, users are also requesting that the current system's UI can still be improved. For those of our users who had experienced ServiceNow, they cited that they can do RFC chats via the tool. In our group, we are using AlembavFire for recording the ticket and do other discussions/alignments via Teams chat.

Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools
I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The workflow is very good, as well as customizable."
"When we met with the Alemba vFire from Australia, it was a good discussion and they have a good feature roadmap."
"Incident Management is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"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."
 

Cons

"We had issues with the user interface, the way it was structured wasn't that user-friendly. The chat features could improve. For example, in change management, all the chat discussions can be done via ServiceNow. We are using two separate solutions, such as Teams, to chat, and the Alemba vFire tool to process."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"The product should improve its ability to integrate with third-party tools."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"There was a lot of delay with NinjaOne's ticketing system. For example, when a user creates a ticket and raises an issue, it would take 30 to 40 minutes to appear on the IT side. So the time delay issue is the main point."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is much cheaper than ServiceNow."
"Alemba vFire is more affordable than the other solutions on the market. The solution changes for the number of customers not per user or module. The price was reasonable overall. We paid for support and it was a fair price."
"Its pricing is great."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"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."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"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 product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
