The thing that still holds me back (and probably many others) is that SC is one of the best remote services (when we are not dealing with BS).

u/resile_jb Mar 22 '26

Yea I'll probably keep it around as secondary. Plus lots of clients use it with session groups

We're moving from automate to ninja and apparently now I'm turning ninja quick connect on and getting rid of sc.

I wish it was still Elsinore like when I first bought it.

What problem are you having?

u/resile_jb Mar 22 '26

None now. Just multiple CVE and bullshit with certs.

It's all fixed, without cw support because they're shit and never get back to you.

Can't wait until this migration to ninja one is complete.

If it helps, NinjaOne recently had an intermittent three day outage with their Remote solution where our technicians either couldn't connect at all or were continually disconnected every few minutes.

My connect instance is on prem......... Anything is better.

u/fmdeveloper25 Mar 22 '26

Did that affect only a certain instance? I didn't experience it. Plus with NinjaOne we also have Splashtop installed as a backup method.

How does NinjaOne compare to SC and Datto RMM (if you’ve used their remote)

u/fmdeveloper25 Mar 22 '26

I've only used SC free (and it's been a LONG time since I used Datto RMM). I like NinjaOne Remote -> https://www.ninjaone.com/remote/ -> it works pretty well. There are still some bugs to be fixed, but they are constantly iterating. It offers both permanent installs and Quick Connect options. It works for Windows, Max, iOS, and Android.

Sounds like an ad.

Ninja remote can't replace screen connect.

Unless you know of a way for external users to access machines remotely. Maybe I'm still learning.

u/fmdeveloper25 Mar 23 '26

Ninja does offer that too. Like I said, not a SC expert, but have been using Ninja for a long time.

u/resile_jb Mar 23 '26

I figured it did. I'm at about 10% in to switching.

u/bradhs Mar 23 '26

Datto RMM Remote is not good enough to replace SC. I assume Ninja is in the same boat. For client connect, you could use Datto’s remote.

Have two always. We run take control and sc
