Featured Reviews

Sanjay Mukhopadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution comes with a host of features for hyper-automation
The initial setup is a mix of complex and straightforward because it depends on which modules you are implementing for ITSM. There are a lot of complex workflows and SLAs around the workflow. We have to configure much more complex things than just Patch Management and Endpoint. For example, it might not take even two weeks to roll out APM for 10,000 assets, but it will take three months to roll out ITSM for 10,000 assets and an equal number of users. That's because the modules you were implementing require much more knowledge, and there are a lot of complexities and nitty-gritties inside the tool which need to be understood. ITSM skill sets are in demand because reaching an L3 certification is not easy. We have those certified skill sets. That's why we're able to roll out at a fast pace. With standard documentation available, it's very clear for a certified resource to understand step-wise implementation. For every step, there is a "build and test" approach. It's a continuous integration. You follow this process, so you don't suddenly realize there are many issues at the end of setup. You have to keep testing each module and process as you roll out. It's not complex, but you need to know the product.

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 main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments, because we have group assignments. When we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"Overall, the platform, in its abilities, is really powerful, especially now with AI as a part of hyper-automation."
"HEAT Service Management is good for asset and service desk management. It is the focal point for this solution."
"It is easy to set up."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"Good at managing updates and for remote support."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."
"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 most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
 

Cons

"I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"The patching for non-Windows OSes such as Linux is poor."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"The user interface must be made simpler and more effective."
"Sometimes I can't get the reports that I want until I go to the manager. They need to put more into the new reports. The standard reports are great, but there do not communicate as much."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne. It also didn't integrate with Trend Micro, which we were using previously. I would also like to have more control from the mobile app. As of now, I am able to see some performance values, but I can't see, for example, disk activity or disk performance values. If they can improve their app a little bit, it would help greatly. They can also improve the tech interface. If I assign certain techs to a bunch of specific machines, they only get those alerts that they're assigned to."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"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

"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"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."
"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."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
