Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was very easy."
"This solution has allowed granular permission access to machines, very consistent and solid most of the time."
"I have called for help to their technical support, and they have been extremely helpful."
"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."
"I like the options for multiple displays. The unattended access is very useful, but it can also be misused. So, it is something you have to be careful with."
"​The initial setup was pretty straightforward."
"It is convenient for my workers to be at home. Therefore, it is easier for them as their second job to do the work. That is a plus, and I improve productivity."
"Provides remote access, allows me to get inside our network to be able to fix problems."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"Good at managing updates and for remote support."
"The customer support at NinjaOne is excellent, rated ten out of ten."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"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."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
 

Cons

"The file transfer could be better. They could make it a lot easier to deal with. LogMeIn Central is not that intuitive. It's a lot harder to figure out."
"​File transfer on the free version needs improvement. Allow file transfer with drag and drop to and from Remote Desktop. ​"
"Sometimes it just fails to load."
"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."
"It is easy to get locked out, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Compared to other products, I feel that their biggest weakness has been customer service. They are very nice, but things take forever to resolve. It has been a major issue there. Otherwise, we're happy. We haven't moved away from them because we haven't found anybody with comparable pricing for our business model."
"It's not really a true RMM product but more of just a remote access."
"There are some screens that are just ugly and difficult to manipulate."
"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 remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"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."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are an educational institution, so anything to make it cheaper would be better because we don’t grow money on trees."
"The only thing I found is that they've gotten very, very expensive over the years. I started out with about about 100 users on it. Two years ago it was about $600 for 100 users. Now, it's that price for 25 users."
"We've been trying to nail its cost down ourselves, and it is a disaster in that area because you get different numbers all the time. They say this is what it is, but the numbers don't make a lot of sense to me. I know that the numbers change. So, the more you have, the less they are per seat, but I don't really understand where those breakdowns are. Its billing is confusing. It is definitely the worst part. For 7,500 seats, it might be between 2,250 and 2,700 a month. It is somewhere in there."
"It's getting more expensive and we are starting to evaluate other products. It's starting to become unaffordable."
"Having to spend so much money on remote access is what I feel to be a necessary evil."
"It really is an expensive product for me.​"
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I complain about the price all the time. It's gone up from relatively inexpensively to, right now, about $2000 a year for me, based upon the number of machines I have. You say $2000 is not that bad, but the price has jumped up significantly over the past few years. They went three or four years without any price increases, and then they did a dramatic increase, three or four times the annual fee, two years in a row. But last year and this year it has been pretty stable."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"Its pricing is great."
"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 is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
