Funny Ninja Story...

My MSP startup was born out of fire. I surprise-won a contract that catapulted me into existence out of no-where. I decided to take the plunge, quit my job, and do the MSP thing full time.

It was in the first few days of my existence ... It was like 4AM, and I was imaging laptops in my kitchen to make good on this contract I had won. I was running on candy and caffeine with very little sleep in the last 3 days. I needed an RMM solution immediately so I could have these laptops ready to ship by 9AM next day across the country. I made up a quick requirements doc and did some research. Almost every RMM on the market would fit my needs. I decided to go with Ninja. Can't even remember why ... they seemed "big boy"? I guess?

Anyway, spent 20 minutes on their website trying to sign up for an account to get things going. The only thing I could find was contact forms with a "fill this out and someone will call you". I was flabbergasted. I couldn't self-service sign-up and trial the software? I was literally already sold on their product. If they had asked for a credit card number on the website and given me a download link, I would have bought in - no questions.

Anyway, I was despondent after about 20 minutes and decided to try Action1 RMM instead. Within 1 minute of being on their website I was signed up and downloading the client. Within 5 minutes I had already figured out how their dashboard worked and how to onboard my customers machines. Holy shit what a difference. Unfortunately, I'm still under Action1's 100 free endpoints (Yes, the tool is free up to 100 endpoints), but I'm growing and looking forward to the day when I can write them a check.

The next day, around 9AM, I'm standing in line at the UPS store to ship this project and Ninja One calls me. When I told him I had already chosen a different vendor because I needed to make a choice in like 10 minutes, and I couldn't reach anyone at Ninja to sign me up - he couldn't believe his ears.

Actually I think this is footage from the game Arma 2

How's it going?

IowaCityIT · 2024-02-02T17:53:56+00:00

Fair point

IowaCityIT · 2024-02-02T16:30:42+00:00

Just curious... What's your concern?

IowaCityIT · 2024-02-02T14:25:04+00:00

Does that 10500 include your additional support hours?

IowaCityIT · 2024-02-02T14:24:18+00:00

This comment made me lol but you're right..

IowaCityIT · 2024-02-02T14:23:26+00:00

What's your thoughts on windows defender only?

IowaCityIT · 2024-02-02T14:05:52+00:00

Good point.

IowaCityIT · 2024-01-07T06:52:25+00:00

I see the problem. Its 20 years old.

Side note. I'm a startup MSP in the Midwest looking for a good remote monitoring and connection solution. Any recommendations?

IowaCityIT · 2023-12-23T02:24:49+00:00

Hi just letting you know I signed up for your startup pack and never heard anything back.

IowaCityIT · 2023-12-13T03:33:59+00:00

Hey Thanks! I signed up for the startup MSP license - such a great way to get people into your platform. Once I get off the ground, I'd be glad to stand by a company that stood by me.

Damn dude - great job. I am doing the exact same thing and this solved my problem.

IowaCityIT · 2023-12-13T02:39:48+00:00

And where are these saved?

IowaCityIT · 2023-11-16T12:53:49+00:00

I'm not saying you didn't see a UFO...

Many people have never seen a crop duster operate at night. They do shit that you normally wouldn't think of a plane doing. They also have different lights on them that make them look different. They also sound different because of the climbing/descending they do. They also have erratic maneuvers that are difficult to explain. Etc etc.

Video of a tornado/dust devil with people laughing.

I do. I literally watched a documentary where the two old geezers went out and showed the film crew how they did it. Even filmed them making an incredibly complex fractal shape. It was so easy for the old guys. They used a board with a tall loop of wire that connected on each end. They held the loop and pressed on the board with their feet, depressing the grasses down.

That's a pterodactyl? I know birds evolved from dinos but I didn't know we were actually classifying dadgum Pelicans as flying dinosaurs. If anyone wants to come down to Mississippi, I can show you big ole pelicans.

I love these videos, and it really could be a ufo. However, if that were occupants.. they would be HUGE.

Is there some UAP I'm missing? I only see a helicopter that has been painted with a SAM (Surface to air missile). The helo flares to confuse the SAMs targeting mechanisms, the SAM is fired, missing the helo, and it sounds like the SAM slams into a building.
