We performed a comparison between Datto Remote Monitoring and Management and TeamViewer Remote Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The alerting system helps us determine what are high level alerts, and what are alerts which can wait for a day or two. We catch RAID failures, hot servers, bad drives (or predicted failures on drives), etc."
"It has a single pane of glass, and it integrates well with other software."
"I also like how Datto integrates seamlessly with the Autotask ticketing system."
"AEM support is great for Macs."
"The project management and task management features work well. It's a decent product in that regard."
"Automation, in terms of the standard patches and standard updates, and remote support are valuable. When it does the standard Windows and patches, it works really well. This is something they focus on. Remote support is also something they focus on quite a bit, and it works really well. Being able to get to an agent or a client computer right away is very helpful."
"The remote tool is nice. If a user needs assistance, I don't have to tell the user to do anything. I just ask the user if I can remote in, and 30 seconds later, I have remoted in. It has been really handy."
"Even when the connection to the server is lost, the monitoring continues without interruption."
"The screen-sharing feature is good. The latency is considerably lower compared to platforms like Zoom."
"Transferring files and viewing data work well with TeamViewer Remote Management."
"TeamViewer Remote Management is easy to use and user-friendly."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"The most valuable feature is the remote management capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Remote Access."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use. Using this solution enables us to get support easily."
"The product is secure."
"Sometimes we have some downtime when Datto is doing updates. Maybe it's because of the cloud service they use. I'm not sure if they're going through AWS or Azure or what. That's happened, but the outages have been few and far between."
"The CRM capabilities are not very good. It's clunky and could work a lot better than it does. There are no marketing add-ins, for example."
"The actual setup and the automation of their product are horrific. When you buy it, there is nothing out of the box. You have to custom design it for everything you want it to do. You pay for implementation, but they don't really do a whole lot to help you get it going. I know it does a lot more than what ours is set up to do, which is frustrating. When I've demoed other systems, their setup is so much better. When you pay for their setup, there is so much more, whereas I just feel like we didn't get a very good setup."
"Be prepared to spend a lot of time on conversions if you have a lot of clients."
"I would like the ability to remotely manage configuration and settings on individual units. Some organizations have a certain device configuration that needs to be consistent across all computers. For example, if we have computers that cannot go to sleep or hibernate because they're being accessed remotely, we need to be able to quickly configure those computers to not hibernate. With Datto, there is no easy and/or direct way to accomplish this. I can't create a group called No Hibernate and drag all those computers to that group so that they do not go into hibernation. There is no easy way to put in a policy or a procedure like that. It's still back to going to each computer and doing it by hand, which is what I'm trying to get away from. I want to automate and simplify as much as possible. I write code and scripts to do most of my work anyways. The intention is to get away from me having to be so hands-on."
"My most significant criticism is Datto is a complex product that takes a while to understand, but that could be said of almost any solution at the same level. It depends on where you're starting from. You have to rework all your workflows, and it's some heavy lifting if you want to get it right."
"They have a tab to provide information about the type of hardware the computers have. One thing they don't specify is what model of hard drive the computers have. Identification of storage models would be nice."
"We would like to see a little more functionality when monitoring network devices, such as switches and routers."
"I don't like having so many updates."
"Integration with other tools would be great."
"The main issue with the solution is the stability problem arising from network issues."
"Licensing has always been a concern, as it can be costly when we need simultaneous access for multiple users."
"I would like to see better pricing, more customization, and increased automation."
"The solution is a little expensive."
"I'm not sure if the security is ideal. They could work to improve it."
"The security of the solution could be more secure."
