Datto Cloud Continuity vs Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] comparison

"The platform provides a faster backup process."

"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."

"Datto has strong competition, but they succeeded in linking their service to the device. It's easy for managed service providers to sell and upsell products using their portal and the remote monitoring and maintenance."

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that it is very elastic. It's adaptable because it's very flexible and modular."

"The solution is already far more advanced than our customers require. It offers advanced scripting and automation pre-testing to support the custom library and custom tasks."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Cloud Connect is the server backups, such as the Microsoft Windows server. Additionally, the updates provide useful enterprise functionality."

"The most valuable quality of Veeam Cloud Connect is its reliability."

"The stability and restore options on the solution are very good."

"I've found flexibility to the most valuable feature. I also like that it's scalable and that the stability is okay."

"While there are some complexities, Veeam tries to keep the product simple and offers a good knowledge base. It's quite structured, so you can easily take one subject and learn about it simply by reading through the documentation."

"One of the most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect is it does not require the use of an extremely fast internet connection for it to work. The backup process is automated which is great."

"At the time I was using it, I would've focused more on signatures of malicious software in the cloud. I love Datto, and I know they're on the right path, but I probably would've focused more on the operating system update management. When you go from the desk to the cloud or from the server room to the cloud, everything changes. Everything is different. You're not in control of your servers anymore. It is from the Active Directory management perspective and not from the perspective of zero-day attacks or other similar things. At the time, more focus on zero-day attacks and business email compromise (BEC) would've been a better protection factor than just educating about how many of these attacks have occurred."

"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."

"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."

"The product's scalability features could be even better."

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

"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."

"The solution could improve the stability."

"We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers."

"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."

"The dashboard could be more intuitive."

"We need the solution to offer IT storage."

"The solution should allow for interfacing with other public cloud vendors. They could work to build something around that concept."

"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."

"The solution needs to be more scalable. There should be no reason to set up Veeam Cloud Connect and have 10 servers in order to have a cloud backup. The initial setup could be easier."

"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."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."
