Vigil vs NinjaOne
NinjaOne is a highly rated endpoint-management platform — agents, patching, remote control. Vigil addresses the other half of an IT team’s life: tickets, credentials, attendance, uptime monitoring and audit, in one self-hostable platform.
What NinjaOne does well
Consistently top-rated RMM: fast agent deployment, strong patch management, remote access and backup add-ons, with responsive support.
Where Vigil differs
- Vigil is agentless toward customer endpoints — it manages your operation, not their devices.
- Zero-knowledge credential vault, biometric attendance and night-shift assurance are modules NinjaOne does not offer.
- Flat tiers and self-hosting versus per-endpoint SaaS pricing.

Can Vigil be self-hosted?
