Based on G2 Fall 2024
Datto, a Kaseya company, is an IT management business that offers RMM, network management, PSA, and data protection solutions. Datto allows IT departments and MSPs to manage their businesses and provide IT services from a single platform. Additionally, Datto solutions are scalable and customizable to adapt to IT environments.
Datto RMM is a cloud-based platform that helps IT teams remotely monitor, manage, and support endpoints in a single pane of glass. While a reliable solution for SMBs, Datto could improve its customer support, ease of use, and patch management system.
This is why NinjaOne is the #1 alternative to Datto. 17,000+ customers worldwide trust NinjaOne to seamlessly monitor, manage, and secure their endpoints and drive radical efficiency from day one. Specifically, G2 users choose NinjaOne over Datto because it is a comprehensive, powerful, and lightweight solution offering many features and functionalities.
“When we were using Datto, we had one employee who was fully dedicated to getting the most out of our RMM. NinjaOne is so easy to use and learn and includes so much out of box functionality, that when we switched to NinjaOne, we no longer needed an RMM manager. The amount of time NinjaOne saves us is worth every penny,”
Martin Wells, CEO at The Syscomm Group
with Evan Oberman, CTO
As we grew, we started looking for tools that would help us support more clients more efficiently. We wanted something that gave us more control over endpoints and systematically keep tabs on devices. We needed a tool that would notify us when something was wrong, let us customize those alerts, and help us automate tasks…What really set NinjaOne apart for us was the great design, modern technology, and the new features that come out all the time.”
Brian Roemen, Principal and CTO, Brave North Technology
NinjaOne is incredibly easy to use, combining a fluid interface with powerful back-end features. There’s no complicated setup, or difficult to manage interface. All options and tools are clearly labeled, easy to understand, and the interface is… easy to navigate.

NinjaOne excels in its user-friendliness. Compared to Datto, which may be complicated for some, NinjaOne can be used by almost anyone. NinjaOne is also a superior Datto alternative in terms of integration capabilities and reliability: NinjaOne remains fast whether you’re managing 50 or 50,000 endpoints.
Datto does offer third-party patching, but it is limited compared to NinjaOne. Some G2 users have said that Datto’s patch management does not automatically patch all business applications, with some software needing to be manually patched. Conversely, NinjaOne leverages automation to improve your patching compliance. You can read about NinjaOne’s patch management solution for more information.
As an entirely cloud-based solution, NinjaOne is incredibly quick to set up and implement. In addition, NinjaOne offers free and unlimited onboarding, training, and support, contributing to its market-leading CSAT (customer satisfaction score) of 97%.
While Datto is also cloud-based, some G2 users have said that the initial learning curve can overwhelm beginner IT technicians.
Currently, Datto only offers remote control tools for Windows. NinjaOne, on the other hand, offers remote tools for Windows, macOS, and Linux devices. This makes NinjaOne an all-in-one solution that allows you to manage more endpoint devices in a single platform.
