Ensures swift recovery from ransomware attacks and improves business continuity
The best features Datto SIRIS offers are ease of use, competitive pricing, and great support, which stand out for me. The ease of use of Datto SIRIS comes from the all-in-one control panel, making it very easy to use and handy to have compared to other solutions I've used. Datto SIRIS has positively impacted my organization by improving business continuity; after a ransomware attack that took down our main server, using the bare-metal recovery, we were up and running within the day.
George Philippakos - PeerSpot reviewer
Backup process and monitoring become simple and effective while seamless instance recovery and cost optimization ensure business continuity
Policy creation is straightforward, with automatic backups of new resources enabled through tagging. Instance recovery is seamless, whether within the same VPC or across different VPCs. File-level restores are intuitive and easy to manage, while full VPC backups provide critical protection and peace of mind in the event of a disaster. In addition, lifecycle management and automated transitions to lower-cost storage tiers have been instrumental in optimizing costs while meeting compliance and retention requirements. The ability to create immutable backups further strengthens our business continuity strategy by ensuring an additional layer of protection against accidental or malicious data loss.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"N2WS is a perfect backup solution for AWS EC2 instances and VPC backups, and it has made our backup process and monitoring simple and effective."
"We had a ransomware event in 2023, and we were able to recover every machine with minimal effort."
"Having multiple policies and schedules handled for me takes the burden out of managing backups across multiple departments."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"N2WS is a powerful solution with a rich set of features designed to address even the most complex backup and disaster recovery requirements."
 

Cons

"The backup of the Mac OS solution in Datto SIRIS doesn't exist at this moment."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"The reporting engine could be easier to use, but it does a good enough job for what is needed."
"I would like to see native support for more AWS services beyond EC2 and EBS, such as full coverage of RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"S3 backups, which I know is already in the feature pipeline, would be a useful improvement."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
"It's very economical and worth the cost."
"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
