Well, there are a number of alternatives - the traditional long-handled shiteshovel being the most commonplace, going back to 1863. Certainly there are new-fangled brush 'n' bag systems you can use, or vacufreeze systems - as has been suggested, I think Dyson have a new model out this year, but I haven't seen it put through its paces.
My own personal favourite though is to get a load of brightly-coloured Christmas cookies and spread them out in bowls up on the roof, and give the local boyscouts a call. It's part of their code to be helpful around the community, so get 'em up there sliding about - it's like a great big game of snakes and ladders - cookies and crap. Will they slip, fall and bounce their tender noggins on the ground, or will they retrieve the cookies, sweep away the crap and live to see another Christmas? Who can say, but your neighbours'll thank you for the free entertainment once they realise that Christmas TV is garbage, and you can always run a book on the more promising contestants, to recoup your cookie costs :oD
Have fun!

I don't think you need to worry about it...unless you've been naughty. Santa has trained them to only leave droppings on the roofs of the truly deserving.
On Christmas morning, after the kids and I have opened all of our presents I like to take them for a walk through the neighborhood so we can play "Spot the Naughty Neighbor." It's loads of fun.

It was 19 degrees here this morning, so it will have to wait. No pressure hoses at that temp! It is supposed rain and snow later in the week, so if the rain does not was it away, the snow will cover it up. And at 19 degrees, thankfully it doesn't stink! I think that is a statement in itself. If Rudolph chooses my roof to poo on over all the trillions of others he visits, it says something about me. If it were not for bad luck, I would have no luck at all. Merry Christmas and Bah humbug to everyone!

That doesn't concern me nearly as much as the question of.... where does Santa "go" after eating all those cookies at every house all over the world.... are you sure these are "reindeer droppings"?

Call the Easter Bunny and he'll use his magic powers to summon up George Clooney's career to pick up reindeer droppings with tara reed on fear factor, hold the onions.

You very tactfully blame it on the guys who put up your Christmas Lights. When the time comes to take down the lights, you explain such behaviour is not tolerated and any mess they make, they also have to clean up.
I'm sure they won't know what you are talking about but will do it rather than face an irate customer.....lol
And if that doesn't work and you put up your own lights, blame it on the neighbour's cat.

Go up on the roof and scoop them off. I heard that they make delicious chestnuts when roasted; try them.

Not a good idea to remove it that's how they find there way back year ofter year through the scent.

I scoop it off (I have lots of practice with raccoon piles on top of my roof)
