"The installation process and configuration processes are very straightforward, and in terms of maintenance, it's pretty easy as one person can handle it."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...I rate the solution's support a ten out of ten."

"AWS Application Migration Service allows us to perform migrations with minimal downtime, which is crucial for our operations."

"The CloudEndure feature is most valuable because it is user friendly and very simple."

"The platform provides a faster backup process."

"The data recovery of the solution is very good."

"For local backup, it works well."

"When you compare it to other systems that require a fat client to be installed or to have several VMs setup just to configure the system, Datto stands head and shoulders above."

"The solution's reliability is one of its most valuable features...It is a very stable solution."

"The solution has the capability to scale well."

"They are laser-focused on bringing forth proven protection technologies and stopping cybercriminals from being able to breach, break, steal, or compromise your data."

"The recovery time objective and recovery point objective were most valuable. It was easy to use, and it was easy to recover a file. I was the head of sales and a product evaluator for an MSSP, so I never had to deal with recovery from ransomware. However, I was confident that if ransomware had occurred, I would only lose a maximum of 59 minutes of data. The files were encrypted."

"One drawback to using CloudEndure is that the default is to give one small, lightweight server, which is created in the cloud."

"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."

"Live Migration has some issues with target setups."

"I think it is important to have more logs, and more details would be great because we have just logged on the client's side, but there weren't many details on the cloud."

"The schema conversion is not included in the document management services itself. Complex formations require additional steps."

"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."

"We would like to have a disaster recovery feature included in this solution."

"I do not see any improvements required for the CloudEndure."

"To better integrate compatibility with other operating systems, in addition to Windows Server."

"At the time I was using it, I would've focused more on signatures of malicious software in the cloud."

"They are now providing the device instead of selling it, while wanting their users to sign a three-year contract, and this is something which my clients don't like...I dislike the fact that signing a three-year contract is required."

"Datto chose to build their own cloud, instead of leveraging AWS, Azure or GCP. It looks, feels and behaves like a beta product (lacks maturity)."

"Datto's only shortcoming is RMM. They have a portal-based connection service like ConnectWise, but it does backups and keeps things running. Datto purchased Backupify and Kaseya bought Datto. If they upped the ante in their RMM, I could see them dominating the MSP space. At the end of the day, MSPs are responsible for networks, software, devices, and backup. Datto covers all these functions so they could offer a turnkey MSP solution."

"Right now the appliances have a functional limit of 50 protected servers each."

"I don't have any feedback to provide in terms of features that may be lacking."

"The fact that Datto Cloud Continuity is not cheap is one of the aspects that I don't like about the product, making it an area where improvements are required."

"For me, the price of the tool is cheap and very good. It is flexible pricing since you pay just for what you use."

"Live Migration's price is good."

"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"As the company grew from business continuity—or what used to be called business BCDR—they brought on services. Certain services, such as SaaS protection, were a value-add, but you would expect to pay for them. They are not going to be free. It is just the life that you live when you're evaluating software vendors, partners, etc. There is going to be some form of a base offering, and then there are going to be different tiers that you need to get up to a better level."
