User Testimonials
	IBM SevOne	NinjaOne
Likelihood to Recommend	The software is handy and really helps us track all the issues that may occur in our network, allowing us to rectify them before any significant problems with our server can arise. It also enhances the overall performance of all our servers and networks, but, as I mentioned earlier, it will take considerable time for a beginner to become familiar with every feature of the software. Incentivized RR Rakesh Rana Design Executive Head Read full review	Whether you are an MSP who needs an all-in-one solution for device management, or you are in-house IT who needs a single pane of glass to manage your devices, NinjaOne fits the bill as a top tier solution. The amount of flexibility in scaling to your organization's size is impressive as the platform can be as simple as just using it for remote access, all the way up to deploying comprehensive automation packages in the form of a compound condition that bases its actions on the results of other conditions or scripts. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	The software integrates well with existing systems and infrastructures, offering very customisable templates and a library of plugins. Use of the software ensures real-time alerts and on-network status. Software pricing is considerably more affordable than that of its competitors. The ability of the software to ensure deep network visibility. RM Roberto Musemi System Administrator Read full review	With Ninja, we are able to have all of our IT tools and management under one umbrella making it extremely easy to keep an eye on all of our servers and workstations. Their support team is OUTSTANDING and gives quick and helpful answers to our questions. Our account manager calls us personally to review any issues and ensure we are running smoothly. Ninja gives us automated patch management of our important devices, and has a nice security log to see what's been done. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Documentation for the embedded help pages in NMS and more. In my opinion, these do not provide anything of any depth or maybe anything helpful at all. If anything it just seems to be a guide of what actually exists on the page. It is nicely searchable documentation though. It is very surprising and disappointing for us to learn that it isn't until the latest version of IBM SevOne that bulk editing was introduced. I think this is such a basic and foundational feature that should have been a part of the original rollout. My team is still trying to configure the REST API. It was disappointing for the webinar to start with a speaker who had a thick accent and simply read from slides. To me, it felt hopeless until the second speaker, who was engaging and easy to understand. It's as if this fact wasn't considered. I'm sure the first speaker lost a lot of viewers who didn't stick around to discover the 2nd speaker. I asked three different questions during the webinar and none were answered. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	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
Usability	No answers on this topic	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	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized DS DAVID Sulkes IT DIR Read full review
In-Person Training	No answers on this topic	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
Online Training	No answers on this topic	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.

Alternatives Considered	IBM SevOne was selected instead of Datadog because it is perfect for large insurance networks and also connects trouble-free between the on-premise and cloud environments. Its alerts are in real-time, it offers comprehensive dashboards and it allows to gain a better grip on the network issues, thus helping to keep the downtime small and the operations well managed thanks to the good communication. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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.

Return on Investment	The software has made network monitoring simple and efficient by providing us with an integrated dashboard that give us a clear picture of our network infrastructure. IBM SevOne has value for money. it is both time and expense saver. Use of the software has enabled us to timely detect performance issues and solve them before they affect our IT infrastructures. Use of the software has solved the issue of real-time network visibility. MK Morris Khenoussi Account Manager Read full review	NinjaOne is a monthly payment with no commitment, this is much better suited to an MSP than other competitors that try to wrap you up into a 3-5-year contract. As an MSP, we could lose a client at any moment and it sucks to be stuck in a contract where we can't lower our agent counts. NinjaOne helps my techs be more efficient and productive. Saving time and money. Incentivized Michael Kerzner Service Delivery manager Read full review
