Has good stability and an easy initial setup process

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Unattended Access, allows me to do support on machines that people are having trouble with, during non-working hours."
"One of the improvements they made was a LogMeIn Central client - that was a couple years ago - and that has been great. You no longer have to use their web interface. There's actually a client that you can install, which lists all of the machines and servers that you can access. That works really well."
"It saves us drive time, we don't have to go to clients. We can just use remote access."
"The ability to manipulate and do things to the computer and file manager, then boot to safe mode, and see what is going on and track alerts. I use it all."
"LogMeIn Central allows numerous active clients, say... 50, to use licenses for remotely accessing a computer from home, taking advantage of all the solution's built-in security features."
"No issues with stability. It has worked on every platform I’ve tried it on, and not interfered with anything."
"​The initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"The ability to remotely access machines with no user intervention required at the remote terminal. Other software we used needed someone to click a link and do a download for me to provide support. Now, with LogMeIn Central, I can get in and fix things while they are away from their desks."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"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."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."
 

Cons

"The screen. Make it clearer. The screen resolutions don't always line up. So clarity of the screen, and speed."
"I have had issues where LogMeIn has not been useful, then we have not been able to work that day. This happens probably two or three times a year."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"Do not use the technical support."
"Our clients are having issues with printing."
"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"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."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Coming from where it was free, it's getting to be expensive."
"We went with it for pricing reasons, that it was the biggest bang for our buck, by combining the ability to have a central security console, as well as a central point for user administration."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"It sucks that I am paying for LogMeIn Central, LogMeIn Pro, and LogMeIn Rescue, plus LogMeIn Ignition, which is the mobile app​. It costs me a lot of money every month at LogMeIn. ​"
"It is a little pricey. I have more than five seats, so I pay a $1000/year."
"Pricing is a little high. They require for LogMeIn Central to go into brackets. If you go over a certain amount of PCs or servers to access, going up to the next bracket is a big jump."
"It's probably worth the value, but the price increases over the last five years are getting harder to justify."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"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."
"Its pricing is great."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
