NinjaOne is a subscription typically billed annually and sold through channel partners. Monthly billing is nonstandard but billed on a case by case basis.
VisionApp is not in the list. This is the application we used before we got introduced to RDM. VisionApp was great but it did not have the same features as RDM did. Perhaps VisionApp has had some updates but we haven't found any reason to switch applications again.
From a multi-user perspective, we felt Remote Desktop Manager outperformed mRemoteNG and RDCMan as both of those tools required we copy/share their datafiles to keep everyone up to date.
Being a mostly Microsoft shop, RDCMan is the standard method of connecting and managing Windows servers. It knows its job and does it well. It's rare that I experience problems with the app. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about Devolutions' product. Devolutions' Remote …
The types of sessions. You are not limited to just RDP sessions, you can do SSH, Web Browser, iLO, or really any session you can imagine that you might use to connect to a remote service
The extensions, add-ons, and features of RDM. You simply can do a lot more.
RDCMan is the only other similar tool I've used (outside of Windows Remote Desktop Connection). Remote Desktop Manager is more stable, easy to use, and has many, many more features than RDCMan. RDSMan feels very outdated compared to Remote Desktop Manager, and I could never …
When it comes to competition, none come close purely because I can do everything I need to in just the one application, whereas before I discovered Devolution's Remote Desktop Manager I'd have to use several.
Remote Desktop Manager was the best product and most useful when compared to the others we used/tested. There are so many more features available within the product, as well as a low entry point from a cost perspective. None of the other products met our needs fully.
Remote Desktop Manager does everything that LogMeIn does and much more. It accesses more systems than LogMeIn can and it cost way less than LogMeIn does. It is a win-win situation. Logmein does the connecting from the web but sometimes you don't want that overhead because you …
We found NinjaOne far more user friendly and less resource heavy than VSA. Our overall experience was greatly improved from VSA as we experienced many recurring issues with the agents. Additionally, NinjaOne was far more cost effective per endpoint and provided similar, or …
NinjaOne is much more modern both in it's "look and feel" but also in it's functionality. Connectwise feels dated and doesn't work as well. It feels more clunky. NinjaOne has more options, less complexity to do more powerful tasks.
NinjaOne has the most rounded set of features however I believe all of the programs have there own plus and minus points. We use a mixture of programs however NinjaOne is the most heavily used.
Both of the prior solutions we have used were incredibly slow and clunky compared to NinjaOne. The learning curve on both were also dramatically higher. Things that took us years to get working, or were not able to get working at all, took weeks/months with NinjaOne. It has …
NinjaOne has a great response time when pushing software, and provides a positive indication of it working without additional time monitoring or asking the user to verify processes. The level of system detail is a great advantage in NinjaOne when trying to narrow down hidden …
We used Auto Task and Datto. We felt that NinjaOne was a more user friendly platform. There was a large training curve for new employees to learn to use Auto Task. We have noticed a shortened training curve for NinjaOne. We really like the layout and the Ninja Academy.
NinjaOne's user friendly interface was immediately appealing to a team that that needs to be able to pickup a tool and know how to run with it at first exposure. From the moment we started using it, we would often be able to navigate the platform with a common sense approach …
Although I was not directly involved in the decision-making and vetting process, as my technical partner handled this task, I can share my perspective. During the early stages of Ninja, we recognized its potential and the seamless integration it offered for our company. This …
I honestly cannot say enough good words about this system. I would never run an IT department again without NinjaOne, supposing I had to pay for it out of my own pocket. If you are considering any RMM to run your IT operations then I can guarantee you that you will not find …
NinjaOne is competitive against these other solutions. They all have their own value propositions and we try to keep a balanced view of when and where to deploy solutions. Our clients rely on us to choose the best of breed solutions, as long as we achieve their goals in an …
One was an on-prem solution that barely worked and did have a lot of security issues before we switched to NinjaOne. Taking that into consideration, we looked towards cloud based solutions and NinjaOne popped up. Reading reviews of other administrators also helped push the team …
NinjaOne not only handles the simple things such as installing software but it also allows us the ability to monitor firmware and patch updates as well. We can provide remote support and not just remotely install software on devices. NinjaOne has made setting up new devices a …
We have used many RMM providers and the UI, cost and experience has all been better with NinjaOne.
Datto wasn’t able to improve anything in the three years that we use them, in fact they were sold to and immediately started trying to sell us the other services they had.
this integrates with Splashtop and works well. I am happy with the integration and prefer it over Teamviewer. This is included in our subscription and works with a few clicks. Users can accept / deny the request and if no one is there we can still remote in. Makes servicing …
NinjaOne is very simple to use and navigate. There are fewer layers of pages to navigate to get to what you want. This is a time saver and it makes it easier to find what you are looking for.
NinjaOne feels like a smaller company, and I mean that in a good way. Their support is quick and helpful and because of our size we are escalated directly to their level 2 support. Our account manager is eager to assist and get ideas/issues to the right people and put those …
We liked the per device pricing and the UI of the platform most when we decided to leave Datto RMM. We believe that NinjaOne's constant development to improve the product has been really helpful. The quality of the community posts with scripts we can use to automate things …
Prior to NinjaOne, our IT management was a blank slate. We knew we needed something, and we wanted to ensure we were making the best decision for our organization. We attended demos and talked with sales reps, sales engineers, etc. At the end of the day, it was the relationship …
Well suited for employees (IT folks) that need to connect to multiple servers frequently and switch between those servers. in particular if not all are in the same domain or use the same OS (Windows/Linux, etc.) Less appropriate for users that only connect to a single remote device in particular if that is less frequent. The standard RDP solution is more than adequate for those users
NinjaOne is great for a comprehensive inventory management as well as a supurb RMM; it's far and away a much greater platform than ones that I"ve used in the past (I've been working for years in MSP organizations). Patch management is the second of the "one, two punch" that NinjaOne provides for our organization. It is outstanding at tracking and enforcing patch mangement, which is great for our security footprint as well as for our compliance goals.
Remote connections: the NinjaRemote client is spectacular and very easy to use and navigate. It quickly connects to customer systems so my engineers are able to work. As a bonus, they also offer a really good mobile app to connect to client systems.
Antivirus: Bitdefender Endpoint Protection is built directly into the NinjaOne portal. This makes deploying and maintaining AV very easy.
OS Patching: NinjaOne makes it very easy to handle patching across multiple clients and locations. It is very easy to use and doesn't take long to set up.
Support: NinjaOne support is always very prompt and helpful.
Documentation: the NinjaOne Dojo is a one-stop shop for all of your FAQs, guides, and forum needs. You can find almost anything here to help you deploy and maintain NinjaOne.
Automation Library: NinjaOne comes preloaded with a large number of ready-to-go automations. They also provide you with a scripting module to create your own.
Occasionally there is a UI bug where the sidebar goes missing and you have to delete some files in %localappdata% to bring it back
Would be great if it could also connect to serverless SQL instances like Azure SQL
If computer sleeps and wakes with Remote Desktop Manager open it will comtimes ask you to re-login for no reason - as when you close and reopen Remote Desktop Manager it works
I've been using RDM for about 10 years now. I started with the free version, which I used for a few years, and eventually switched to the Enterprise version. I can never go back now! I use this tool for everything and cannot see doing my job without it! Whenever we have someone new come in or bring in a vendor/contractor, they always ask me what RDP tool I'm using. Once I explain about it's features and all, they're usually instantly sold on it. :)
I have not had any real issues with NinjaOne and as long as it keeps doing what it is meant to do, I do not plan on looking elsewhere. I need software to be stable and NinjaOne is stable.
The software is easy to use and intuitive for a team that already works with Cloud or Infrastructure, and it is easy to adapt for teams that use it. (TR) O software é fácil de usar e intuitivo para uma equipe que já trabalha com Nuvem ou Infraestrutura, e é fácil de adaptar para equipes que o utilizam.
Ninja's interface is clean and simple. Overall usability from an interface perspective is good. Some items, policies and scripting for instance, are a bit cumbersome and it's really not clear how to implement with a best practice mind-site. Ninja RMM got the job done for us but as we pushed our needs more into automation and efficiency we felt it wasn't keeping up with our speed of growth. There is definitely usability in the product, and it will get the job done, but there are other RMM's out there that fit better in our business.
I've never had to use support as I've never had an issue. That said, you can open a support ticket right from the UI. The user forums are active, and there are thousands of threads covering many topics. Very easy to get support if needed. This is an easy ten.
Support has been very responsive and my account rep Brian K. has communicated with me continuously making sure we had everything we need. Not like other MDMs where they sign you up and that's the last you hear from them. NinjaOne makes sure you use the product to its best application and you are successful and continue as the product features grow.
Easy to learn and all of the functions and features were easy to learn. Once I started learning all of the features and functions, it made my everyday tasks much easier and more productive. The user interface is very easy to use. If I did have any questions, the Ninja Dojo was a big help.
It was nice and self paced learning. The sections were easy to understand and the functionality was very worthwhile. The online training was very easy to learn and intuitive. I did not feel the need to ask for any clarification or assistance with any of the sections. I am still learning a lot of the functions but fined it very easy to use.
I could detail what each one does, better or worst than Remote Desktop Manager, but the main thing is, RDM (Remote Desktop Manager) does everything other tools do, faster and more integrated than others. And still saves credentials that could be used by one or more connections, in a better way than other tools.
We found NinjaOne far more user friendly and less resource heavy than VSA. Our overall experience was greatly improved from VSA as we experienced many recurring issues with the agents. Additionally, NinjaOne was far more cost effective per endpoint and provided similar, or greater features than VSA. Atera was briefly considered, but it seemed to be more of a 'jack of all trades' app that didn't suit our specific use cases.
A common place for storage for all users. Instead of employees using multiple different password management systems, they all use Remote Desktop Manager to store them now.
We don't have to buy licenses from multiple vendors when everyone uses Remote Desktop Manager.
