"This solution has made life easy with respect to patching, compliance, and OSD."
"Software deployment and WSUS are most valuable."
"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."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"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."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."

"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"Based on my experience with SCCM 2016, the main, big issue is not having a good user-friendly environment. It needs much better GUI."
"Management of Linux devices could be improved."
"Its client interface should be more accessible, and the notifications should be more customizable from the console. It should be more user friendly and have some kind of customized notifications so that we can use it on the client side. These are the reasons why we restricted its use only for the server environment and didn't use it on the client side."
"There is no asset management package included."
"The deployment process is lengthy and should be quicker to complete."
"Troubleshooting in general needs improvement. There's just a ton of logs to go through, and so finding the error log that corresponds with that you're doing can sometimes be difficult."
"The solution is on-premises. The cloud version of the product, if a person needs to be on the cloud, would be InTune, which already exists as an option. SCCM doesn't need to offer cloud features for this reason."
"The solution could improve the functionality for automating, license management. Additionally, more and better-looking reports are needed."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"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."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
