We performed a comparison between Meraki Dashboard and NinjaOne based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We like the visibility this solution gives us of the infrastructure."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use and a single-pane-of-glass that allows us to identify issues across the entire network from one dashboard."
"The ease-of-use and the analytics are really effective tools."
"The dashboard itself is very simplified and easy to navigate."
"You don't have to be a network engineer to use it."
"We have found the client dashboard to be very simple to use, especially in our Meraki environment."
"What I found most valuable in the Meraki Dashboard is straight monitoring of the different devices, as well as the ability to easily set up VPNs, for example, both Meraki client VPNs and non-Meraki VPNs for different organizations that work with my company. I also like that the tool is a really good firewall."
"We've been spending a lot less time on tickets and deployments, so we have more time to do other things."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."
"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."
"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"Price could be reduced."
"It would be nicer if the dashboard was lighter."
"I’d like the product to allow for other solutions to be integrated with the dashboard as well."
"There are some issues with the NAT configuration, it is now impossible to some operations with the solution."
"The tool needs to incorporate more integration platforms. Integrating technical support features directly into the dashboard would be highly beneficial. This would allow technicians to troubleshoot issues more efficiently."
"More integration would be an improvement."
"There is a bit of a problem when you try to log in and you don't have a fixed IP address. If you're granting access, you need to log in by using the IP address. If your administrator's IP address is not a fixed IP address and it has changed, you might need to update the changed IP address in the interface. For this, you need to log in to the interface to update the IP address. This issue might not have so much to do with Meraki interface."
"The price could be lower because the license for access points is expensive."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices."
"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
