Why your peers choose NinjaOne over Commvault
When comparing NinjaOne vs Commvault, users note NinjaOne’s simplicity and ease of deployment. While Commvault Cloud is a robust enterprise solution with broad capabilities across data protection and cyber resilience, its steep learning curve, and complex setup can make the solution less appealing for smaller IT teams or service providers managing multiple tenants. Alternatively, NinjaOne—particularly NinjaOne SaaS Backup—offers a streamlined, unified experience purpose-built for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace environments.
NinjaOne SaaS Backup delivers fast, automated protection and granular recovery for mission-critical productivity data. Its tight integration into the broader NinjaOne Platform allows IT teams to manage endpoint, server, and SaaS data protection from a single pane of glass, and without the overhead of maintaining a separate infrastructure or toolset.
“One of the reasons we chose NinjaOne is because of its extreme ease of use. It’s very easy to get new employees up to speed quickly. At Aerorock, we have the utmost confidence that NinjaOne provides us with a secure environment to operate in.”
