User Testimonials
	NinjaOne	SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE)
Likelihood to Recommend	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	There was one project wherein we wanted the fast result, and the deadline was quick for one day. We used SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere (DRE) as a virtual network remotely. We took RDP of that and took connection. The result what we got was too quick like within some hours. We showed the same to our clients and received their appreciation once it went LIVE. Thank you so much team for this. Apart from this I never found this less appropriate Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	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	Remote control is solid, rarely loses connection Allows for control of the desktop prior to login Allows for scripts to be executed in the background without disturbing users Allows for batch rollout of scripts across multiple machines Allows us to see the end users' desktop - as opposed to RDP Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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	Connectivity to a helpdesk/knowledgebase would be nice feature so users can do self-help Offering a branded version of the client/agent would be a nice touch for businesses A web-only version of the technician console for remote support would be a nice feature Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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. Incentivized DS DAVID Sulkes IT DIR Read full review	SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere is an easy to use software package. The manuals are easy to understand, and the installation is simple and straightforward. The Maintenance and support costs are relatively reasonable, and we maintain support and maintenance strictly for the upgrades rather than support. Over the years, SolarWinds has released numerous feature enhancements to the software package, making SolarWinds Dameware Remote Everywhere indispensable on our network.

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.

Implementation Rating	Use of Organizations and locations Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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	Its integration with Samanage and cost were the key deciding factors over TeamViewer (which can be VERY expensive despite how easy and nice it is to use) and it's just far more functional and less limited than VNC or RDP or Chrome Remote Desktop options or even the screen share with Microsoft Teams (which only works when using the installed Teams app). It's important to note the deployment methods are nice and powerful too and support has been great so far. Incentivized BV Billy Votta IT Manager Read full review
Scalability	Overall the software is very reliable Incentivized Kevin Brant Service Desk Engineer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	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.
