Why your peers choose Ninja over SCCM for patch management

NinjaOne

NinjaRMM is a 100% cloud-based device management tool that provides robust cross-OS patching and device management capabilities for endpoints on- and off-network without the cost, complexity, and labor associated with on-premises infrastructure.

Built for
Proactive device monitoring and hands-on device management for heterogenous organizations, environments, and device types.

SCCM

Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM) is an endpoint management solution bundled with Microsoft licenses that utilizes a Windows Server to provide visibility and control over managed endpoints. SCCM utilizes WSUS for patch management.

Built for
On-network device management for Windows and Mac endpoints with additional capabilities for off-network management.

Patch management can be time consuming and complex…

Complex competiton
Many patch management solutions require on-prem infrastructure, workarounds for remote workers, and complex implementations which increase costs and leave vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

… but NinjaOne makes patching fast, easy, and reliable.

Patching Hero
With no complex infrastructure to manage and a modern, intuitive workflow, NinjaOne simplifies patch management, improves patch compliance, and reduces time spent on patching.
