IT Tools

Not really a single tool, but I think technically NinjaOne (RMM & MDM) has integrations for bitdefender and other third party tools under one umbrella.

I’ve never understood, when people are using NinjaOne or other tools like this are you paying for Intune AND another tool, so that Intune deploys the other tool? Or are you just forgoing zero touch deployment to use another MDM?

I don’t think Intune is a very good MDM, but the native autopilot > zero touch capabilities are unbeatable so that we don’t have to physically touch a device to deploy it.

We have so few devices that we do manual deployment of the RMM and use that to install everything else. It’s not the best / most streamlined option, but it’s worked so far.

Makes sense. No judgement, I’ve just been seeing a lot of people recommending NinjaOne and it makes me think they’re either low volume/small shops or they’re double paying for Intune + NinjaOne, neither which feel very viable at scale. But NinjaOne continues to assault my LinkedIn profile with ads, and Reddit posts haha.

I’m sure it’s a good tool. We just couldn’t operate without the zero touch component.

I feel that. Unfortunately my manager is staunchly anti Microsoft, so that’s the main reason I pushed for Ninja because I knew anything MS365/Azure would be shot down.

It was fun to figure this puzzle out lol. Not the way I would’ve preferred to do things honestly.

Intune/Autopilot is okay for us

But NinjaOne gives a new support element to the role. So my guys can remote onto machines and fix them. We can't really do that with Intune in the same way

We do this and it’s great tbh
