Helpshift vs. NinjaOne

If you need a good way for players to send in support tickets that propagates in real-time, Helpshift would be a service I'd recommend.

If you are looking for an affordable solution to RMM that just works, you should consider using NinjaOne. Their platform allows you to lock down the installation and prevent uninstallation by end users, it allows for direct ticket integration within the sys tray icon, and it is a very consistent product that will stay running when it is in use. That is not always the case with RMM solutions and for the price, NinjaOne is great.

• Their customer support is very responsive. If they have any problems, they fix them quickly.
• They are constantly trying to improve and expand their offering, which is beneficial to our growing company.
• It is very user-friendly and easy to manage. The analytics are pretty good as well.

• 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.

• While I am not an engineer; it is known that Helpshift can be a bit of a pain to get it implemented into our applications.
• There are some issues with the badge when it comes to the notifications of messages that let the user know they have a reply from customer service.
• The website dashboard that is used to respond to customers has trouble sometimes and is very slow.

• NinjaOne does support Mac, however I would like to have more options for automation and scheduled task on Mac devices.
• I would like it if NinjaOne also provided an MDM solution.
• It would be nice is NinjaOne could integrate a PAM solution as well.

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.

Helpshift is really easy to use and set up. We enjoy the automation to automatically route certain issues to different smart folders. There's just a lot of flexibility in the functionality to make things work for our team in the best way. I didn't give it a 10/10 just because we need SMS/Apple Business Chat and Helpshift doesn't yet offer that. They also don't currently support social media channels but they are working on releasing that soon.

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.

The few times we've had to contact them, they were courteous and gave us the information we needed swiftly.

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.

Zendesk is used for customer communication via email and Helpshift is used for chat, they are for the same purpose but with different response times.

NinjaOne has more overall features than these competitors bundled in their package. Both of these other products have separate add-ons that will accomplish the additional features that NinjaOne bundles in. While it seems that both may be slightly more powerful when it comes to the overall RMM software, NinjaOne has a much cleaner UI and makes it much easier to work in. NinjaOne also seems to always be growing and implementing solutions that customer ask for, without any additional up-charges. These competitors seem to have their finished product and additional add-ons like ticketing are completely separate offerings that are both separate charges and a completely different product all together

• The ability to properly organize and delegate work to customer service representatives has been a very positive ROI after using Helpshift.
• The customer service reps are much happier with this system over the previous system of a general company email address and other CS software tools.

• Seeing as how we are a remote/hybrid workforce, using NinjaOne has saved us hundreds of hours in remote management.
• If we did not use Ninja and then migrated to using Ninja, it would pay for itself in one or two months for a whole years worth of costs!
