Considered Both Products	IFS Assyst Verified User Anonymous Chose IFS Assyst Axios assyst outperforms JIRA in every aspect, JIRA is a good job system but when it comes to complex processes and configuration management then JIRA is simply not the right system. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose IFS Assyst We thought SDE was bad, we were looking for an alternative. Assyst is worse. We thought ServiceNow was too expensive. We were wrong.

I would never imagine going back after working with NinjaOne Incentivized Helpful? 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
	IFS Assyst	NinjaOne
Likelihood to Recommend	Axios assyst is for organisations that want to improve and automate processes. Verified User Anonymous 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	It was a low cost solution The service catalog is an ITIL compatible format Incentivized Verified User Anonymous 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	Like many other ITSM tools, built-in reports are limited; third party reporting tool such as Microsoft SQL need to be used. Axios service desk does not offer much help, our internal technical people know more than their support analysts. 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	At this point, we are stuck with it. We can't afford a change at this point. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Incentivized Steve Ricketts Director Of Technical Services Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	Availability is very good Incentivized Kevin Brant Service Desk Engineer Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	The software loads quickly for the most part Incentivized Kevin Brant Service Desk Engineer Read full review
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. I am still learning a lot of the functions but fined it very easy to use. Incentivized Kevin Brant Service Desk Engineer Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Use of Organizations and locations Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	We thought SDE was bad, we were looking for an alternative. Assyst is worse. We thought ServiceNow was too expensive. We were wrong. RightAnswers is a reaaly good tool but only for KM. 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Scalability	No answers on this topic	Overall the software is very reliable Incentivized Kevin Brant Service Desk Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	Replacement of 3 systems with Axios assyst Integration with other enterprise systems Verified User Anonymous 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
