NinjaOne vs. Atera FAQs

Atera is an all-in-one solution that monitors and manages endpoints in a single pane of glass. Still, it is not without its limitations. Compared to Atera, NinjaOne is a powerful, lightweight software solution offering reliable patch management across Windows, macOS, Linux, and other third-party apps. NinjaOne also provides superior integration capabilities across several business applications, from SSO to PSA. This comprehensive platform performs all its functions from a single pane of glass.

Atera automatically patches your Windows and macOS devices. It offers a new add-on called Atera’s Package Manager for Linux devices. However, this add-on is a fledgling product and may not be fully tested for reliability and scalability.

Currently, Atera does not offer a native backup solution, but it provides backup integrations. On the other hand, NinjaOne offers a sleek single-pane backup management system built into its endpoint management dashboard.

Across all platforms, NinjaOne ranks #1 in customer support. In addition to offering free and unlimited onboarding and training, Ninja boasts one of the fastest first-response times of under 30 minutes from receiving an IT ticket and a market-leading CSAT (customer satisfaction score) of 97%. This is a point of consideration, as many G2 users have stated that Atera’s support could be improved.

Atera uses a pay-per-technician pricing model that is billed either monthly or annually. In contrast, NinjaOne uses a pay-per-device monthly subscription model.

Some G2 users have said that Atera’s patch management can slow over time or be inconsistent. Conversely, NinjaOne’s patch management is rated #1 for its reliability, ease of use, and robustness.
