Considered Both Products
NinjaOne
Chose NinjaOne
We came from Manage Engine and it is a night and day difference. I would never imagine going back after working with NinjaOne
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.
Chose NinjaOne
this integrates with Splashtop and works well. I am happy with the integration and prefer it over Teamviewer. This is included in our subscription and works with a few clicks. Users can accept / deny the request and if no one is there we can still remote in. Makes servicing …
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne is very simple to use and navigate. There are fewer layers of pages to navigate to get to what you want. This is a time saver and it makes it easier to find what you are looking for.
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne feels like a smaller company, and I mean that in a good way. Their support is quick and helpful and because of our size we are escalated directly to their level 2 support. Our account manager is eager to assist and get ideas/issues to the right people and put those …
Chose NinjaOne
We liked the per device pricing and the UI of the platform most when we decided to leave Datto RMM. We believe that NinjaOne's constant development to improve the product has been really helpful. The quality of the community posts with scripts we can use to automate things …
Chose NinjaOne
Prior to NinjaOne, our IT management was a blank slate. We knew we needed something, and we wanted to ensure we were making the best decision for our organization. We attended demos and talked with sales reps, sales engineers, etc. At the end of the day, it was the relationship …
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne isn't the cheapest or the most expensive. However, it has the most functionality out of the other solutions that we looked at.
Chose NinjaOne
So far NinjaOne has been more stable to use vs the items listed above. It has been easier to setup and go. Easy to setup end user equipment with a quick setup file that an end user can run if you asked them to. The portal is quick to update and quick to allow you to start …
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne has a much better web interface than Automate, in terms of both usability and function. The endpoint search function in NinjaOne is very good with results, and each endpoint agent page has a great overview of the endpoints health, NinjaOne event history, etc. The …
Chose NinjaOne
About 2 years ago we evaluated about a dozen similar utilities that are all aimed at managing and maintaining endpoint from several customers at the same time. At the end of the evaluation, NinjaOne was chosen based on several criteria specifically targeting the use case that …
Chose NinjaOne
Mainly used them to try and push out installs for NinjaOne. But NinjaOne has their own way of pushing out the installs through AD and it made my life so much easier getting this deployed.
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne offers the same feature set that the big players offer, for a fraction of the price. when looking at RMM solutions, there are several large companies out there that claim that they do everything well, but what we have found is that they often do many things, but not …
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne feels like it is way beyond its competitors. Their UI is fantastic, with the exception of no Dark Mode. It is very responsive and easy to navigate. Also, NinjaOne bills monthly with no contract commitment. This makes it much more accessible to smaller and medium-sized …
Chose NinjaOne
The systems screen on NinjaOne is simpler and has more information. You can customize details/columns per technician. CMD, PowerShell, registry emulate the windows look and feel. Pulseway just gives you a big white page to type commands and it doesn’t respond as seamlessly. …
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne has what it takes and is very cost effective for what it provides an IT team. We would not be able to do what we do without it.

Cost comparison wise, NinjaOne is the best option we found that has such a wide breadth of capabilities like it does.
Chose NinjaOne
Ninja does a few things better than Goverlan Reach, like the integrated ticketing. But honestly, Goverlan was much more user-friendly for everything else. N-able has a lot of features, but they're not easy to use, if you can even find them.
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne has more overall features than these competitors bundled in their package. Both of these other products have separate add-ons that will accomplish the additional features that NinjaOne bundles in. While it seems that both may be slightly more powerful when it comes to …
Chose NinjaOne
Ninja is much easier to use that anything I've worked with in the past. We selected Ninja because we felt the learning curve for the team would be the fastest, and the roadmap for the product shows its evolving quickly. Can't say that for many of the other platforms I've …
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne isn't as versatile as N-able. NinjaOne doesn't have as many features or settings as N-able.
N-able is far more complex, which isn't always a good thing. For vary large-scale MSPs, it might be a better choice. However, for a small to medium-sized team, NinjaOne is an …
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne was cheaper and had a more robust platform. Other competitors didn't offer the same number of features or customer support.
Chose NinjaOne
Like all software you have certain features that you don't get in others, specific software like Zoho Assist give great remote access, probably better then Teamviwer (1 of NinjaOne's remote Access Solutions) however you have to have a contract and license for each one and the …
Chose NinjaOne
NinjaOne blows Connectwise out of the water. You can take a college kid right out of school and put them in front of NinjaOne and they will have no issues at all. IT is that easy to use! Connectwise on the other hand uses an academy to get you trained and ready. Yeah if you …
SysAid
Chose SysAid
Sysaid is a more streamlined overall process than Zendesk.
Chose SysAid
I find SysAid system much better than the Spiceworks cloud version in that you can actually customize it to your company needs. Spiceworks is a great free system, but limited by lack of customizations
Chose SysAid
The ease of implementation and the cost of the product for a small to medium-sized organization like mine.
Chose SysAid
The value of SysAid just seemed to be much better than Kaseya. The review was relatively short with Kaseya, but I immediately liked what SysAid offered. The overall capability compared to the costs associated with SysAid made it a great choice.
Chose SysAid
SysAid is simple to set up and gets online compared to Jira and Zendesk.
Chose SysAid
SysAid is very cost-effective and flexible and integrates ITSM and asset management tools in one platform, reducing the need for separate tools. They have an intuitive interface that ensures a smooth user experience, reducing the learning curve for IT teams. SysAid offers …
Chose SysAid
We found that SysAid was better value for money and had the features we needed in the right package for us.
Chose SysAid
There are many items offered on the other platforms that SysAid does not have. However, for a smaller or medium-sized business that needs a simple and easy way to get tickets flowing and allow users to help themselves, this is an excellent way to start.
Chose SysAid
ServiceNow is a very clean-looking portal and one of the primary IT asset management softwares. SysAid was originally onboarded by another project manager, but the selection came from a much lower cost than other ITSM software. In the future, interface/GUI will be a large part …
Chose SysAid
It was a lot less expensive, easy to use, and has all the features that you will need. Support is great and easy to work with.
Chose SysAid
SysAid is a decent ITSM based product for the money if you want an application that for the most part can be setup and administered without a dedicated resource assigned to SysAid maintenance.

In my experience, it does not have the full functionality of either Cherwell or …
Chose SysAid
ServiceNow is lightyears ahead of SysAid. They efficiently use workflows to get everything set up in the system. One prime example is the onboarding and offboarding of employees. You can set up individual approval tasks to add/remove employees from systems. These tasks will …
Chose SysAid
SysAid is better than our previous ticketing system in almost every aspect. The only thing our old system did better was time entry for our staff.
Chose SysAid
Better for immediate handling os priority issues but project related activities are better suited to a kanban board presented from devops
Chose SysAid
SysAid offers both cloud and on-premise delivery models, plus different ITSM capabilities and pricing levels from a basic ticketing system, through the help desk, to IT service management software.
Chose SysAid
The Spiceworks cloud helpdesk is a good, free alternative to paid helpdesk options. However, because it's free it's limited in functionality. We chose SysAid as it has all the features we desired such as strong change control, and more extras such as the remote support function …
Chose SysAid
Jira work management needs a difficult customization part. Jira is also a large scale tool. This tool is more complex. It requires more business understanding. SysAid is beginners friendly. Hence we have opted for this tool. For tools like Jira we need a scrum master to …
Chose SysAid
Better support than open source solutions. It provides a better overall design to get an overview of the whole IT system. To configure redmine you need some programming knowledge or search for plugins and solutions on forums. Sydaid has a proper helpdesk which you can contact …
Chose SysAid
SysAid, compared to other helpdesk software, was reasonably cost-effective; they provided seamless integrations and were willing to redesign the software to meet our needs. One of their current features that is winning with my organization is the SysAid bot. This is a great …
Chose SysAid
SysAid was better at including multiple modules than the competition. We also like the licensing options and price better than the competition.
Chose SysAid

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.

SysAid is Great for IT Support. Tickets can be easily entered using the portal that has a more modern look and feel. We have also used SysAid for our Customer Service Team. Tickets can come in through email or direct access through the cloud. They no longer get lost in the shuffle. Reports can be produced for the managers to better undersand where issues are.

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.

  • Ease of use for end users creating tickets from their own Self-Service Portal (which is tied into Windows Active Directory so no login is needed).
  • Ease of use and management of tickets by the IT staff.
  • Flexibility. We currently have IT teams associated with a single program, a single department, and all other IT items. SysAid allows us to easily manage this, add to it, change it, etc.
  • Support - SysAid support has remained consistently great throughout the years that we have had the product. That is a fairly rare thing for hosted solutions these days.
  • Expandability. We have a lot more that we can still do with the product and are working on expanding what it can do as we move forward in time. There is a lot to this product overall.

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.

  • [I would like it if the] Due Date [could] recalculate if a ticket has been stopped (awaiting user).
  • [The] dashboard could have more options when creating a new graphic.
  • [The] end user portal [could offer] the ability to customize more info, like font and adding more images.

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.

Because through SYSAID is how the operation of all IT is carried out and in this way the performance indicators of the services, systems, operation, trends, workloads, project control and their deviations are known; as well as the requests for changes and requirements that are requested by both users and that is where the system improvement projects are triggered, such as change controls, which by the way are audit topics.

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.

It is a very simple tool to use, the training required to implement it is minimal and it is also very simple for end users. There is a quick guide to configure and it was the only thing we used to configure the tool. The response of the users was good to the implementation because they did not feel that it was a big change that complicated the request of tasks by the IT department.

Reliability and Availability
Availability is very good

Another of the benefits of sysaid is that it is highly available when working in on-premise environments.The only times the system is down is when a restart of the services is required to add a new feature. Apart from that, we have not had any problems.In the case of the cloud, the only condition I have seen where sysaid is not available is because the internet link is down or damaged.

Performance
The software loads quickly for the most part

In the case of system performance, I have seen that no matter the number of assets and users, Sysaid responds in the same way and at the same speed. The reports that are scheduled do not have any details because they arrive directly to your email. In the same way, when it is integrated with other systems, for example through the API or by email, we have not seen any failure due to the integration. It works very well with or without integrations.

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.
Read full review
I have had nothing but positive experiences working with the SysAid support team. There are multiple pathways to request and receive support, which are all connected with each other. I get an efficient and effective response most of the time and when there is not immediately a good answer, they create a support request to follow up for resolution.

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.

My team was greatly assisted and trained well. Despite the time zone difference the trainer made every effort to be available during times that were suitable for us and the assistance and help offered was extremely appreciated by my team. A wonderful experience by the team.

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.

The training I received was very good, they gave me tasks to carry out and then they checked what I had done.It was gratifying that the instructor noticed that I had made very fast progress because I had done the implementation myself and it was very fast. At least I remember that after 5 days I had already finished almost 90% of all the implementation tasks.

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.

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.

  • Our resolution time has increased a lot compared to not using a ticketing system.
  • We have reduced communication load significantly for our helpdesk admins.
  • The knowledgebase is rough, but still allows us to preserve and share our collective experience and expertise.
