State-of-the-art disaster recovery

One of the areas that I would absolutely say that they should improve, is the recovery from the backup when you're running in a failover mode. In other words, if I have to bring the server online on the appliance (so I'm running on the backup image), there should be a way for me to replicate back to or restore back to the hardware or the original source, and then, in the end, you would do a Delta sync and switch over. As of today, I have to shut everything down and the entire resource has to be offline while I'm doing the recovery. So having the ability to kind of recover while running would be a great feature to have. Also, when you failover to the appliance, it doesn't retain the IP information. I have to go in and update the IP information for each of the boxes that I have to fill up. If you're only doing one or two, it's not really a big deal, but if you had to failover, for example, 10-12 boxes because an entire EM infrastructure went down hardware-wise for some reason, you have to know all those IPs and go in and set them up and restart them — that can take a little bit of time. So retaining the IP information would be great.

Reliable backups have protected email and servers and now enable rapid ransomware recovery

For the smaller Datto SIRIS devices that are made for backing up one or maybe two different machines, adding more RAM and giving it a better CPU would be phenomenal. Sometimes when dealing with entry-level Datto SIRIS products, you face an issue depending on how much storage there is on there when it's trying to parse through all of the data. It takes a while, and when it comes to data recovery, time is everything. Datto SIRIS should remove the ability to set it up as a NAS-based file share operation system. It seems counterintuitive for something that is made for immutable storage that is walled off so that it can't be destroyed to be allowed to be a local centralized file share that individuals have access to. This seems to be begging for a mishap. Datto SIRIS will require some maintenance when the hard drive gets past 50% capacity, which is Datto's statement on the capacity. You should never use past 50% of the storage locally. Then you have to reach out to Datto directly to get an external hard drive to transfer files to send off the data for it to be shot up to the cloud. We've had a couple of instances of devices not uploading to the cloud because either they were too full or there were failures in certain parts of the file upload to the cloud, which put it into a circle of death where it just kept trying to do the same thing over and over again and had to request assistance from Datto in those situations. Otherwise, if you store it in a dusty cabinet, you have to spray it with a computer duster every once in a while.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's super stable. We really like it."

"When we started working with that customer, it was a really simple product that works really well."

"Definitely, the return on investment has been massive."

"The effectiveness of Datto SIRIS in ransomware recovery is fantastic; I would say it's the best, hands down."

"Since I started using Datto SIRIS, the time to recover data or servers has improved significantly; before, restoring a file or server was very long with the normal backup system, Datto reduced the time much more when I needed to recover a file or a machine."

"Datto SIRIS has changed my recovery time objectives significantly, as it is excellent, taking minimal time, with a simple and smoother interface that allows for a shorter backup process compared to other applications I have used, such as Commvault."

"The best feature of Datto SIRIS is that we are just two clicks away from remoting into the client environment, and we can fetch all the information in one place."

"Datto SIRIS works out of the box and it is a key feature that we really appreciate."

"Datto SIRIS has positively impacted my organization by drastically reducing downtime, with recovery from server failures now taking just five to ten minutes."

"Previously, three hours were spent on troubleshooting and everything, but now with Datto SIRIS, issues are resolved in half an hour or less."

More Datto SIRIS pros

Cons

"As of today, I have to shut everything down and the entire resource has to be offline while I'm doing the recovery. So having the ability to kind of recover while running would be a great feature to have."

"The pricing offered to MSPs for Datto SIRIS is okay, but the ability for MSPs, their upcharge when it comes down to small, medium businesses, SMB clients, is actually putting Datto out of the market for SMB clients, especially with the ability to purchase Dropbox and all these cloud-based storage solutions now."

"The cost is higher compared to other platforms in the market like Veeam or Acronis."

"For improvements in Datto SIRIS, I would suggest enhancing large-scale virtualization performance and providing more transparent pricing, as that is often complex for MSPs and end customers."

"I have not seen any reduction in disaster recovery testing hours from Datto SIRIS."

"The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment."

"I was disappointed with the processing power and the storage capacity of the ALTO 5 device. Within two weeks of deploying it, I was getting emails that I need to upgrade it."

"Cost is a consideration, but in general, we are fairly happy with the value."

"In my opinion about Datto SIRIS, areas for improvement include increasing speed in recovery processes and strengthening security to enhance the product's overall effectiveness in backup and disaster management."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe that (if I'm not mistaken), there are a couple of different pricing models."
