Their Pitch

Automate the hardest parts of IT.

Our Take

A remote control panel for every computer in your company. You can fix, update, and monitor devices without walking to someone's desk or driving to another office.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

Used For

  • +**Your team's computers crash and nobody knows until someone complains** → Real-time alerts tell you exactly what broke before users notice
  • +**Installing software updates takes your IT person 3 hours every Tuesday** → Updates deploy automatically across all computers overnight
  • +**Remote workers can't get help when their laptop freezes** → You can access and fix their computer instantly from anywhere
  • +Self-service portal lets users recover their own files - no more "I accidentally deleted everything" panic calls
  • +Automated scripts handle repetitive fixes - like clearing browser cache or restarting stuck services

Best For

  • >Your IT person spends half their day walking between desks to install updates
  • >Managing computers across multiple offices or remote workers
  • >You're tired of "my computer is broken" tickets that require physical visits

Not For

  • -Companies with fewer than 10 computers — you're paying per-device for features you don't need
  • -Teams wanting something dead simple — the feature overload will overwhelm non-technical people
  • -Large enterprises needing custom reports and deep analytics — the dashboards feel basic for complex environments

Pairs With

  • *ConnectWise Manage (where MSPs track client billing and project management that NinjaOne doesn't handle)
  • *Microsoft 365 (NinjaOne backs up your email and files since Microsoft's backup is terrible)
  • *CrowdStrike (for serious security threats that basic monitoring can't catch)
  • *Slack (where your team gets alerts about system problems and celebrates successful patches)
  • *ServiceNow (for larger companies that need proper ITSM workflows beyond basic ticketing)
  • *Bitdefender (because NinjaOne monitors devices but doesn't fight viruses)

The Catch

  • !The first week feels overwhelming because there are so many features you won't know where to start
  • !You'll need someone willing to learn basic scripting to get the most value out of automation
  • !Setup is fast but configuring policies and alerts properly takes 1-2 weeks of tweaking

Bottom Line

Turns your IT person into a remote wizard who can fix computers from anywhere.
