Disappointing Ticketing System feels Like an Afterthought
We initially chose NinjaOne’s ticketing system after a promising demo and because we were already using their RMM tool. Unfortunately, the reality didn’t match the sales promises. We were told the system was ITIL-based – it’s not. It only includes Incident and Problem, and even those are implemented incorrectly. Features like satisfaction scores, dashboards, categories/subcategories, and ticket templates were all promised but either don’t exist or require third-party add-ons. Reporting is very limited and essentially unusable without external tools. The “boards” are just renamed views, and there’s no proper resolution field. We asked about task management within tickets and were told tasks could be enforced before closure – but you can’t even create a ticket with a task list. Support has been disappointing. Our account manager stopped responding, and we were passed around. One support engineer even broke our reporting while trying to fix a notification issue – we had to fix it ourselves. The RMM tool is solid, but the ticketing system feels like a bolt-on with minimal development or support. Ironically, NinjaOne uses Zendesk for their own ticketing – had we known that earlier, we might have looked elsewhere. Unless NinjaOne invests in serious improvements, I’d recommend looking at other solutions if ticketing is a priority.
