I like the constant development most. We now have MDM for all of the tablets and phones, which is great for a lot of the point of sale devices where they aren't necessarily logged into the device with a M365 account for Intune management. We like the NinjaOne remote tool over Splashtop or other remote software we've seen. It just works and has nice integration for printing, and file access without remoting onto the PC. The same goes for being able to run command line or PowerShell without removing the user from his or her session. It is unobtrusive to the end users.

I believe Rippling can benefit a company of any size. We have 2 entities built into the system and it has simplified all of the employee, payroll and benefit management that we did manually before. Rippling's system is intuitive and easy to learn, and could benefit any organization.

Pros
NinjaOne
  • 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.

  • Refer a friend or colleague for a job opening.
  • Apply yourself for a new position.
  • The PTO and vacation process is very simple, fully online, and the forms are easy to fill out. Reports are quickly sent to our managers for approval. Maybe it sounds like I’m exaggerating, but I’m really not — maybe it's just something we take for granted. I used to work at a great company with an absolutely terrible system. For over ten years, they couldn’t manage to replace it. Simple things like requesting time off, getting a raise, or uploading documents took forever — sometimes months — and even the IT team struggled with it. Compared to that, Rippling truly feels like magic.
  • Again: Intuitive, simple, just how it should be! We already have work and tasks that are often complicated! An HR system that is meant to help employees shouldn’t add to our workload, stress, or become a source of problems.

Cons
NinjaOne
  • 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.

  • The complex customized report is still a challenge between two departments. Comparison reports still lack across the departments.
  • The icons can be more visualized for better search, otherwise it will take time to go with menus.
  • The alignment in data points should be more accurate and specific with centralized key points according to their menu.
  • The help and reference links should always be their on each page to switch quickly.

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.

Rippling continues to innovate and amaze me with their new innovations and features. Product feedback is taken seriously so I always give it whenever I can and end up seeing results. Rippling is the new wave of HRIS that cannot compare against others in the industry just due to the fact they are super user friendly!

Usability
NinjaOne
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.

Rippling is very intuitive and easy to use. That's one of the things I like the most about this platform. It has nice integrations and the dashboard is great to guide through all of the different features you can find and use. It takes a while to get use to it but it's not because of the app is more because there is a lot of information to manage when you have work benefits

I like that the availability in using Rippling at any given time is useful to me. Getting on the site freely when I need gives me security of knowing that I can be in control of viewing health insurance and hours information. I have yet to get any errors in using the Rippling app.

Rippling's performance has been great, no errors or glitches yet so far. I am confident that Going from one page to the next and all its complexity usage does not lag or times out, it works effectively and efficiently. While using Rippling and other apps it does not tend to slow it down, works great. No complaints.

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.

Because when I seek help it is readily available and the answers we get are competent. It is so frustrating to call companies and get an answering machine or to get transferred 12 times to only leave a message. With Rippling when someone assists you it is timely and more importantly it is competent help. I rate competence higher than kindness because anyone can be a kind buffoon but I need someone who may be correct and direct but also handled my problem and efficiently directed me on how to fix it.

It's really easy to implement in comparison to other tools or applications. Different key points are easily configured and implemented as per need, having different configurations in systems. Implementation is something which binds the different parameters of an organization in a single row. Implementation of rippling is much easier, quicker, and error free than any other software. I recommend it strongly!

For ease of use NinjaOne seems to be easiest to get up and running and just how they present everything seems easier than the other solutions we looked at and then bottom line was it had the features we wanted and the price was very reasonable compared to the other vendors.

Rippling is easier to use. It has everything you need in one place. You don’t have to jump from one app to the next to get everything done. It is a one-stop shop. I think this might be the smoothest transition with Rippling I have experienced.

I can go on here and see all my hours and pto plus health benefits. I like to have the work handbook handy to refer to legal things. How to work my role within it's limits. Being able to put in my hours and view when they are approved is a huge benefit for me.

Return on Investment
NinjaOne
  • 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!

  • The company has many employees more than 70, having the possibility of reducing workloads for the human resources team reduces costs substantially.
  • Employees can significantly reduce minor procedures by having the ability to make changes to their contracts immediately. The system automates these reports so that the HR team can obtain all statuses in real time.
  • The peace of mind that comes from having the system periodically report the status of a payment reduces the number of queries and potential inconveniences to the employer.
