Considered Both Products	NinjaOne Bill Crowsey Director of IT Chose NinjaOne ConnectWise RMM, ManageEngine Endpoint Central and Trend Micro Cloud One Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose NinjaOne 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose NinjaOne 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose NinjaOne 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. Incentivized Helpful? AG Andrew Gatlin Systems Administrator Chose NinjaOne Both of the prior solutions we have used were incredibly slow and clunky compared to NinjaOne.

It has … Incentivized Helpful?

Verified User Anonymous Chose NinjaOne ManageEngine was good but unfortunately a bit difficult and confusing for remote connection Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose NinjaOne 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose NinjaOne 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 … Incentivized Helpful? AC Anthony Catanzaro Partner Chose NinjaOne 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.

JE Jason Earle IT Manager Chose NinjaOne I honestly cannot say enough good words about this system.

If you are considering any RMM to run your IT operations then I can guarantee you that you will not find … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose NinjaOne NinjaOne was way superior to the other tools we tested - in terms of features, capability, support and ease of use. Pricing was also very competitive.

Justin Mott CTO Chose NinjaOne 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. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose NinjaOne this integrates with Splashtop and works well. I am happy with the integration and prefer it over Teamviewer.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	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.

Pros	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.

Cons	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. Incentivized Brett Carson Director of IT Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	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. Incentivized SG Sergio Galvez IT Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	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.

Support Rating	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.

In-Person Training	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. Incentivized Kevin Brant Service Desk Engineer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Online Training	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.

Alternatives Considered	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.
