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…

A highly scalable solution that has good reporting features
TOPdesk has features that allow only the financial managers to approve or deny the company's dealings With TOPdesk, we can concentrate all the requests from the company to only one system, and then we can manage the team's productivity. The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports. We…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"Good at managing updates and for remote support."
"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."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"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 most valuable feature of TOPdesk is the reports."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ticketing feature."
"The most valuable feature of TOPdesk is its ease of use if you have implemented it in the right way. If you're not implementing it in the right way, then it's very difficult."
"When it comes to implementing new features, they listen to what their customers want via a suggestion forum that they have."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module."
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI."
"Change management is the most critical feature."
"Its ITSM approach is quite useful."
 

Cons

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"One of the disadvantages of TOPdesk is the reporting tool. It is very poor and not in real-time. You do not always receive the correct information."
"All companies have processes that need to be adjusted. When you have a change, you need to name it, and many companies have a set of changes you can use. It would be helpful if there were more space in TOPdesk to name the change or use metadata to record the kinds of changes."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"It is time-consuming to add new users."
"The solution's change management could be better."
"An operator is also a user but requires creating two different records."
"This solution is modular so you only buy what you need, but I prefer what some companies are doing where they include everything in the package."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"Its pricing is great."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"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."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"The solution is inexpensive compared to competitors."
"TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
"Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
"The cost of the solution on a yearly basis is $20,000. Technical support is not extra. It's included in the yearly cost. Updates are also included. The solution is good at keeping its product up to date."
"There are three fee options to choose from for a company and these options compared to market prices are very high. For example, if I use one of the first options for 10 assets, then it costs 20,000 Euros. If you went to competitors, then you pay less."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not expensive."
