To try the latest NinjaOne news that we describe below, our advice is to activate a free subscription. There is no obligation to purchase and you can evaluate the potential of the platform simply by installing the software agent dedicated on a certain number of company systems.
NinjaOne, cloud platform that ensures continuous updates
A product like NinjaOne revolutionizes the infrastructure management corporate because it frees IT administrators from the need to allocate some server machines to monitoring the network and devices. It is no longer necessary to have one or more dedicated systems on-premises (which must in turn be configured, updated and adequately protected) to be used for monitoring, backup, patching, software distribution, ticketing and problem resolution activities.
Thanks for the approach cloud and his dashboard accessible via the Web, NinjaOne dynamically adapts to any company’s network structure and can monitor Windows, macOS, Linux systems, mobile devices and computer equipment. networking.
In the era of hybrid and flexible work, NinjaOne protects company devices and data: today the traditional “company perimeter” because the terminals used by managers, employees and collaborators are often “delocalized”. Staff increasingly find themselves working away from the office, connected to third-party networks.
In these situations, NinjaOne is essential because it can not only detect in realtime the status of each device, but is capable of intervening in the event of potentially dangerous situations. Before a IT accident.
The NinjaOne scheme entirely based on the cloud, as we were saying, relieves IT administrators from having to manage traditional server machines and allows them to always have an overview of the situation on the entire fleet of devices used in the company, regardless of where they are located. Furthermore, the NinjaOne platform is periodically updated on the cloud: developers regularly integrate new functions that become immediately available and usable.
New features added in the latest versions of NinjaOne
NinjaOne is a tool that does not raise fences but rather integrates with a wide range of third party solutions. The page dedicated to integrations offers an insight into all the bridges that NinjaOne developers have built with third-party software solutions for the business world.
Integrazione con SentinelOne, Cyberdrain Improved Partner Portal (CIPP) e Bitdefender GravityZone
We have already had the opportunity to describe in detail the patch management skills that distinguish NinjaOne. In this regard, NinjaOne is capable of binding with solutions SentinelOne: the goal is to provide users with reporting functionality related to cyber threats significantly improved. In addition to greater visibility on critical vulnerabilities which can impact company systems.
Threats detected and quarantined by SentinelOne are immediately displayed in the dashboard NinjaOne, allowing access to information about each incident with a simple click.
NinjaOne spokespeople explain that many customers use open source software CyberDrain Improved Partner Portal (CIPP) to manage their tenant Microsoft 365. Using CIPP, engineers can implement standardized policies, add, edit and delete users, and enforce compliance through a knowledge-based approach. centralized management of systems.
L’integration with CIPP brings the management of all devices and users directly into the NinjaOne console, saving valuable time and freeing administrators from having to frequently switch from one software to another.
With NinjaOne 5.8, integration also arrives that allows you to interface with a cybersecurity solution such as Bitdefender GravityZonedirectly from the platform’s web interface.
GravityZone is a security solution all-in-one which detects threats and provides a advanced protection from attacks. Integration with NinjaOne simplifies the deployment of GravityZone on endpoints, displays immediate threat alerts directly in the console NinjaOne and allows technicians to reset, delete or add exclusions for threats through a drop-down menu.
Further optimized patching mechanism
With the release of NinjaOne 5.7 and later, the cloud software allows administrators to install older patches a certain number of days. In this way, it is possible to set a “safety” time window to avoid potential risks arising from defective patches.
Furthermore, the company’s technical staff can approve automatically patches that are older than a certain number of days (therefore probably now “mature” and free from problems), so as to no longer have to keep track of patch release dates and then manually authorize their application on individual systems.
Increasingly extensive automation library
NinjaOne offers a wide range of tools designed to simplify and streamline IT operations. The automation scriptsfor example, emerge as a key resource for maximizing efficiency and productivity within any organization.
One of the main advantages of automation scripts is the ability to automate tasks repetitive and boring. Many tasks within the IT environment, such as configuring devices, applying patches, or managing resources, usually require manual time and effort. Thanks to automation, NinjaOne allows tasks to be performed quickly and reliably, freeing IT staff from “monotonous” tasks and allowing them to focus on more strategic and high-value-added activities.
As explained in this webinar, the automation library Ready-to-use NinjaOne is growing rapidly with a team dedicated to scripting. The automations, easy to customize and implement, allow you to save hours of work.
Improved reporting skills
The latest versions of NinjaOne offer a report template builder greatly improved. Allows users to view the mockup of reports, to define the proposed contents with the help of widgetto change the order in which the various information is presented and to carefully establish the design of the graphic reportsupdated in real time.
The data tables are a new type of report that allows IT administrators to insert information tables into any report. The possibility of filtration e personalize the datasimilarly to what is done with an Excel spreadsheet, opens the way to activities of reporting more efficient, data-centric. The tables can optionally be downloaded as CSV for simple reuse.
To simplify viewing and distribution of reportsNinjaOne users can filter templates by organization, location, device group, and time range.
Companies thus have a tool at their disposal reporting advanced that allows you to benefit from a “real-time” view, rather than relying on a traditional static PDF file. What convinces NinjaOne customers is theinteractivity and the speed of the new reports.
