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…

Implement service management changes while addressing UI improvements
Topdesk's user interface makes it easy to handle requests and escalate them to other groups or reassign them when working on a single ticket. Additionally, the service management tool in HR allows for a change in delivering services, replacing email communication with ticket raising. The knowledge library enables the local HR to store and share relevant information and frequently asked cases, enhancing collaboration. The ticket system also facilitates escalating cases to other involved departments. IT, HR, and some other teams primarily use this system.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the incident management module."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"Change management is the most critical feature."
"This solution has provided me with a well-defined process and interaction, compared to my previous tool, GLPI."
"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 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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ticketing feature."
"TOPdesk is overall very stable."
 

Cons

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"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 pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"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."
"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"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."
"The solution should be made more user-friendly."
"Change management implementation, facility management, and making reservations on assets can be improved."
"It is time-consuming to add new users."
"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."
"If I open a ticket on the infrastructure team, I can't move it to the financial team for them to manage the ticket."
"The solution's change management could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"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."
"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."
"TOPdesk's pricing is cheaper than Jira's."
"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 is inexpensive compared to competitors."
"Compared to other products in this segment, I think that they are priced well and not too expensive."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable and not expensive."
