Everything has worked better since we started using it
Sometimes the syncing is inconsistent. I'm confident that the devices are checking in every eight hours, but sometimes the devices aren't picking up the settings as quickly as I would expect. Some features haven't been updated in a while, and Microsoft doesn't seem interested in developing them. Unless you talk to an engineer, you don't know whether there will be an update. There are communication issues, so you might start working with a feature without knowing if it will be deprecated six months from now. Some reporting areas still need development. For example, I noticed that the reporting for driver updates is still confusing.

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…

Offers reliability and efficiency to users
The real-time visibility offered by the product has impacted our company's IT operations, and I can say that it is a user-friendly or admin-friendly product. I recommend the product to others since it is a powerful solution. The product is reliable and efficient. The product vendors are helpful, and they try to engage with the customers and improve the product. In terms of the benefits offered by the product, it is a powerful tool where the vendor offers support to users. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Agile and easy to deploy MDM solution that covers the maximum number of policies. Stable, scalable, and with knowledgeable technical support."
"Intune can wipe devices. For example, if a disgruntled employee wants to leak the data on their company phone, Intune can terminate their access and wipe the entire device with a click."
"We are a remote company, and the product helps us manage the global endpoints. It helps us natively manage the endpoints in the cloud from anywhere."
"Remote Wipe and Autopilot is one of the best features."
"Mobile device management is most valuable."
"It's really easy to access."
"Autopilot is the most valuable feature."
"The standout features of Intune are its excellent mobile device management and highly effective application management capabilities."
"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."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"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."
"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."
"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"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 software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"The solution's technical support is very responsive."
 

Cons

"The security features should be improved."
"There are a lot of updates happening on Microsoft."
"Customer service used to be better. In the last couple of years, support has not been very good, even with Premier and Premium support. It's been very hit-or-miss."
"We would like to see the ability to use multiple personas on a device, similar to Samsung Knox, included in future updates."
"Improvements can be made by allowing server integrations since it is an area where the product currently has shortcomings."
"The solution could be improved by the opportunity to connect third-party application databases, such as Chocolatey or another setup store, to Intune."
"The most significant challenge is reporting and monitoring. The reporting accuracy for deploying applications and all aspects of Intune needs to be improved."
"There is no catalog for mobile access management (MAM) security."
"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."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"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 remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"There are some bugs in the product. The tool needs to improve in the area of reporting."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The clients pay for a license and each can have a different type of license, such as an E3 or E5."
"Pricing depends on the features. Microsoft offers special packages if there are more than 10,000 users, and you may be able to get a reduced rate."
"Our enterprise agreement includes Microsoft Intune at no additional cost."
"Every customer used to purchase licenses based on their needs."
"This cost is approximately $30 USD per user per month."
"There is a license required to use the solution. If you're core users in Office 365, for example, you have Outlook email and E3 license, this is only email. You have to buy an EMS license to have Microsoft Intune. It is expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing for Microsoft Intune is reasonable. Our clients are satisfied."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"Its pricing is great."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"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 product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
