Featured Reviews

CONRAD FORREST - PeerSpot reviewer
President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.
The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support
MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Assistant Vice President, Tech Solutions at LPL Financials
Has simplified remote software delivery and script management but needs improved reporting flexibility and better Mac support
NinjaOne's best features include ease of use regarding enablement and deployment, a broad selection and ability of software enablement, and API deliveries. Using CrowdStrike, we are able to tie in NinjaOne's API to have these automatically deliver to endpoints upon addition of those devices to a group with that policy deployed to it. NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance. This easier delivery with NinjaOne gives us oversight on devices without having to be on the call or remoted in directly to a device.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support is very good."
"General ease of use and performance of the Windows version is the most valuable feature."
"The initial setup is very easy. It's not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."
"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."
"It has allowed me to implement a cost effective, highly configurable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has been successfully backed up and what has not, which is very valuable because you don't have to check the machines, and the second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."
"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"NinjaOne allows even small teams of three users to support over 400 desktops and keep them up to date and working at peak performance."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"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 installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"If you're looking for a simple and cost-effective remote management tool, NinjaRMM is a good choice."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."
"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."
"The interface feels like it is targeted for end users who typically are looking for an all-in-one integrated push button solution. It would be better if the interface had a beginner mode and an expert mode."
"The interface could use some updating."
"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."
"As for what can be improved, some reports could be simplified so that you know how much backup you have done and what your backup details are."
"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point."
"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"NinjaOne can be improved by making mobile usage on the system cheaper because it becomes an expensive commodity."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing needs improvement."
"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."
"We have a very good return on investment."
"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."
"The solution is expensive."
"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."
"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"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."
"Its pricing is great."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"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."
