USE CASES

SHORTCOMINGS

  • Patch management issues:
    When patches and other related tasks fail, it’s difficult to troubleshoot since Datto does not provide enough specific error information for users.
  • Customer support:
    Some G2 users have stated that Datto’s customer support can be inconsistent regarding response time and tailored answers to each IT ticket.  
  • Full trial: Whereas Datto limits functionality at the start to lure you into signing a contract, NinjaOne allows you to use their entire platform so you can fully understand their solution from the very beginning.

Here’s What Our Customers Say About Us

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 vs. Datto FAQs

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.

Datto released its Workplace Mobile 4.1 in 2021 for iOS/iPadOS and Android. Currently, it does have an end-user portal.

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.
