User Testimonials
	NinjaOne	Zoho Desk
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	Zoho Desk is a great customer service tool. It is very easy to track the ability to receive tickets and send responses in Zoho Desk. There are lots of options for customization. The knowledge base feature is very extensive and powerful. It makes creating internal and external FAQs easy. Incentivized Greg Rellaford Account Manager and Retention Specialist 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	Report features give the all insights of the customer team and customer support which enables us to make changes according to it. The best thing about Zoho Desk is that it has a very beautiful and fully designed dashboard. I have been using this software for a very long time in my organization, it is very easy to use with having the interface created on a very advanced module. It is completely a feature rich platform. Incentivized Sofia Martinez Accounting Consultant 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	When utilizing as a ticketing system, it would be nice to have a better way to monitor when something is due. It's just a little cumbersome. Search Functionality - The search functionality could use a tweak or two. Too many times I am unable to find tickets. This would also be very helpful for the "Recycle Bin" when you just need to find that ticket you accidentally deleted (we are all human!). :) Incentivized 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. Incentivized Steve Ricketts Director Of Technical Services Read full review	Zoho Desk on operational capacity is the most effective help desk we have come across, as it is suitable for businesses of all forms and shapes, from large to small. Again, Zoho Desk captures the attention of all clients, and on time, offers solutions to their demands without failing. Lastly, Zoho Desk requires no extra skill to execute the program.

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	Their support is excellent. They are always available to answer all your queries and doubts. Be it a call or email or even live chat. You will always get a prompt response from their customer support executives. They are very much familiar with the product and all its functionality. Sometimes you get stuck and don’t know what to do. They are always there for your questions Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
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 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	Zoho Desk is easily a winner for trouble ticket handling as Bitrix24 was not offering any dedicated trouble ticketing tool and we had no option but to use the Tasks section of Bitrix24 to handle our existing customers. Also Bitrix24 neither did have any dedicated mobile application for on the go usage which Zoho Desk has easily handled with applications for both Android and IOS devices.

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. Incentivized Michael Kerzner Service Delivery manager Read full review	By running reports based on ticket, we can see how much time is spent on each customer and can manage these customers better based on what we see are there issues We can also run reports based on the types of queries customers are coming in with which allows us to develop our product based on actual customers needs as a whole. Automatic reporting once set up saves many man hours as new customers can be added automatically if required, and it saves having to build these reports monthly or possibly weekly Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
