Provides excellent traceability along with improved efficiency and reliability
It would be good to have the product integrated with Google because that's our corporate tool of choice. I'd also like to see a notice board where you can list a summary of the top 10 items being dealt with each day. It's something that would be very helpful. I believe they're working on a chatbot but we haven't seen that as yet. I'd like it to include a space where questions asked to a chatbot can be self-triaged in terms of support or with the ability to point you towards a knowledge-based article. We've been doing some of that ourselves but it would be good to have it through a chatbot.
Aziz Lyazami - PeerSpot reviewer
A tool that helps with a lot of configurations and creates automation processes that work perfectly
I had recently dealt with something that was frustrating in NinjaOne, but I don't remember what it was. I would love it if I could deploy automation processes for locations because, currently, at my workplace, we can't deploy automation processes for locations. In NinjaOne, there is a need to create groups. I already have 12 or 14 locations, where sometimes I just want to deploy some updates, software, or something for specific locations, but I can't do so since I have to go and create a group for that location, which is a lot more work, which I don't like. I would love it if the aforementioned area is considered for improvement. The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best. I think NinjaOne has been working on its ticketing system. I have seen how there has been a huge improvement in the tool recently, but it is still not as good as the ticket systems in the market. At my workplace, we don't use ticketing systems. I am waiting for NinjaOne to improve its ticketing system so that I can use it. There is a lot of room for growth and adding more features in NinjaOne. I love how NinjaOne gives its users the possibility to create a custom field, allowing them to create whatever they want. I haven't used NinjaOne a lot, so I don't have anything in mind as to what extra features it needs to have. If I just sit down and look at NinjaOne, I will get a list of things I would love to have in it.
