NinjaOne, an automated endpoint management platform, announced it has completed the acquisition of Dropsuite for about $270 million to help organizations reclaim lost productivity and reduce the risk of ransomware. Through the addition of Dropsuite, NinjaOne customers can unify endpoint, server, and SaaS application backup use cases, delivering a single interface for IT and enhanced productivity for employees.
The pitch: IT teams’ responsibilities span across endpoints, cloud applications, remote devices, and SaaS platforms, but many organizations still have fragmented backup strategies, tools, and teams. And this disjointed approach introduces unnecessary complexities and blind spots in IT and security. The security risks intensify and compliance demands grow while disparate backup and email archiving strategies can hinder data recovery, complicate oversight, reduce productivity, and expose organizations to significant risks like ransomware incidents.
Through the addition of Dropsuite, NinjaOne now offers a unified backup suite that provides secure, automated backup across endpoints, servers, M365, and Google Workspace, as well as real-time email archiving. By unifying these use cases in a single platform, organizations can simplify work for employees and IT, and gain robust data protection, simplified backup workflows, and a stronger security and compliance posture.
KEY QUOTES:
“Data is everywhere – endpoints, cloud applications, home offices, remote devices, and SaaS platforms. Amid surging ransomware attacks, many organizations have a fragmented backup strategy with a patchwork of legacy endpoint tools, bolt-on SaaS protectors, and disconnected consoles. This approach introduces inefficiencies and blind spots and increases the risk of operational disruptions and intentional and unintentional data loss from human error, application issues, disgruntled employees, and cyberattacks.”
Phil Hochmuth, Program Vice President, Endpoint Management & Enterprise Mobility at IDC
“This acquisition is a major step forward in how we help customers improve business productivity, protect their data, and build resilience. The addition of Dropsuite not only expands the backup protection we offer, but it also brings a team of new Ninjas whose mindset perfectly aligns with NinjaOne’s values. Dropsuite’s commitment to customer success and product excellence will help us accelerate growth and better serve our customers. I couldn’t be happier to welcome our new team members to NinjaOne.”
Sal Sferlazza, CEO and co-founder at NinjaOne
“Dropsuite helps organizations protect their data with intuitive yet powerful cloud backup software. Together with NinjaOne, we’re even better suited to make our customers successful with one integrated console that automates endpoint and SaaS application backup. We will continue to solve our customers’ biggest challenges together.”
Charif El-Ansari, CEO at Dropsuite
