It Operations Software

I wish there were more reports, and that you could pull data from a PC with a script, and dump it into a report. Other than that, the platform is solid.

Edit: While there is not a baked in system, I have started using a custom field to grab the data that I want, then use device search to export a CSV report with said data. I would still like something more purpose-built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were struggling to monitor the uptime of networking equipment. Ninjas NMS keep track of this for us, and reports us when uptime is an issue.

We were having trouble keeping PCs and Servers up to date on their Operating Systems. Ninja now takes care of patching and has never failed us.

update 5/15/2024

We used to run scripts for security remediations manually for WORKGROUP systems and with GPO in domains. We found these to be time-consuming and clunky, respectively. Ninja allows us to orchestra scripts across the system in seconds. The same issue was had with software installation, but that is now shifted to ninja.

We used to rely on user-reported issues to keep PCs running smoothly. With Ninja, issues are detected and automatically remediated. Issues that cannot be remediated automatically are ticketed to us, and we can work on it as needed. Additionally, computer optimization is now automated, and devices rarely see slowness due to uptime, corrupted system files, or bloated temp folders.

While Atera offers a robust set of features, the reporting tools could be more customizable to meet specific business needs.

The networking setup can feel overly complicated at first—configuring firewalls, VPCs, and IPs had me Googling tutorials for days. Costs also sneak up if you forget to monitor usage, especially with non-preemptible instances. I once left a test VM running by accident and got a nasty billing surprise. Support feels slow unless you pay for premium tiers, and the console UI isn’t as intuitive as AWS for quick tasks. Oh, and preemptible VMs? Great for savings, but losing a spot instance mid-job still stings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before GCE, scaling our infrastructure felt like playing Jenga—one wrong move and everything collapsed during traffic spikes. Now, we auto-scale web servers seamlessly and run batch jobs on dirt-cheap preemptible VMs without worrying about downtime. It’s slashed our cloud bills by 40% and let us experiment freely (like spinning up GPU instances for AI prototyping). The global network backbone also cut latency for users in Asia-Pacific, which our old provider couldn’t match. Sure, there’s a learning curve, but finally, our devs aren’t stuck babysitting servers all night! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Centralized Endpoint Management

Problem: Managing diverse endpoints (desktops, laptops, and servers) across different locations is complex and time-consuming.

Problem: Manual patching increases the risk of security vulnerabilities and compliance issues.

Problem: Remote troubleshooting can be inefficient and disruptive to end-users.

Problem: Managing software installations, licenses, and asset inventory manually is prone to errors and lacks visibility.

Problem: Increasing cyber threats make endpoint security critical, especially with remote and hybrid workforces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are few things I wish they would add such as Hot Add CPU/Memory, Dynamic Memory, firmware management (the ability to managed drivers/firmware for the hardware), advanced networking (netflow within the hypervisor), VM metrics, VM boot order, and VM affinity (I want to make sure my Domain Controller's are running on different hosts).

Even with these features missing they weren't enough to sway me to stay with VMware or move to Nutanix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
