Backup platform has significantly improved recovery speed and reliability for critical outages
Instant Virtualization is the best feature of Datto SIRIS that we have liked so far, as it allows us to boot servers in minutes during outages. The use of Datto SIRIS has significantly improved our Recovery Time Objectives. We have been using other software like Veeam and Microsoft Backup as well, so we have found Datto quite competitive to them. Our experience has been good so far, our clients are satisfied, and we have been handling outages effectively. We have not had the opportunity to use the One-Click Disaster Recovery feature because the last time we experienced a phishing attack, it was resolved and did not escalate to a disaster scenario, so we did not need to use that feature. Datto SIRIS improves reliability by providing storage space that enhances overall dependability. The centralized dashboards in the Hero Reports feature have been most beneficial for our IT reporting needs. The Hero Reports feature provides extensive capabilities that include the specific points we need for our demonstration. Even if we want to use these features to train machine learning models, they are very useful for us, and we do not need to perform much work on the data to extract those features. It has helped in reducing disaster recovery testing hours because it has features that help us by monitoring malicious activities throughout the database and notifying us of any fluctuations in normal behavior. Datto SIRIS is good at assessing effectiveness regarding ransomware recovery, and it is competitive in the market. However, the only concern we have been thinking about is its pricing. The pricing of Datto SIRIS is more expensive than Veeam and Microsoft Backup. On the other hand, it provides many more options and much greater feasibility.

Enhanced filtering for advocate emails
Quorum provides an elevated ability to filter on everything from people's location to age to their voting history. This is an extreme feature that will help our advocacy department a lot. It encompasses the ability to formulate emails and calls to action across regions. Their platform is more advanced than our previous one. It provides a smooth training experience and easy terminology for those in the advocacy world.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Datto SIRIS works out of the box and it is a key feature that we really appreciate."
"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."
"Previously, three hours were spent on troubleshooting and everything, but now with Datto SIRIS, issues are resolved in half an hour or less."
"Instant Virtualization is the best feature of Datto SIRIS that we have liked so far, as it allows us to boot servers in minutes during outages."
"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 positively impacted my organization by drastically reducing downtime, with recovery from server failures now taking just five to ten minutes."
"Quorum OnQ has a good ransomware protection feature, and customer service and support were very good."
"It's easy to implement, easy to spin up, easily configurable, to drop-in appliances and network. There wasn't a lot of time needed to spin it up."
"The most useful feature is the one-click recovery."
"A very high level security environment for secondary data."
"Being able to spin up a machine in a sandbox is amazing because it allows us to test things that we otherwise would not be able to do."
"From a disaster-recovery point of view, one of the things I really like is that I can test the virtual copy of the physical server on a test network and compare the servers side-by-side, without interfering with the production network. So I can see and make sure that the latest copy of the server is the physical copy of the server, without interfering with production."
"When it comes to recovering what you need from a backup, it's really easy. You just drill through the directory, find the file and the date that you want, and click to recover. You then pick the directory you want to save it in. Usually, it takes a minute or two and it's done. It's quick and easy."
"I have used the BMR (Bare Metal Restore) in several emergencies and it has absolutely saved my bacon."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The cost is higher compared to other platforms in the market like Veeam or Acronis."
"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."
"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."
"They need integration with other platforms."
"At times the email notifications don't go out, but a quick reset always fixes that problem."
"I don't love the scheduler, as I think that interface could use an overhaul."
"There was a situation I faced in the past when I contacted the tool's support team, and it took them a while to respond."
"They have radio buttons that allow multiselection, which is not intuitive."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"One thing that could be done to improve it would be a single pane of glass for doing disaster recovery testing, where I could have remote consoles in one place... I still have to go to each location in a browser and then bring up the console. I'd like to see them integrate that into a single pane of glass so I don't have to go to each server."
"Lacks compatibility in terms of supporting other OS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is about $1,400 a month. It's a little bit on the higher side. But it's one of those situations where time is valuable for me. So if it costs a little bit more money for me to have a solution that just works and requires less of my day-to-day management, I'm willing to pay a little bit more."
"When we quote the price of Quorum to customers, they find it expensive."
"The upfront cost of purchasing a license for the hardware is quite steep."
"We have never questioned whether it is worth it because it so obviously is a great value."
"When we first got the Quorum the licensing was different."
"The initial expenditure for us was a little under $40,000 for the recent renewal. For the first three years after that, other than electricity, there's no cost. After that, their support contract has to be renewed annually. We spent close to $6,000, between the two offices, for support."
"I am not sure how much it costs, but I know it's expensive."
"The total for our current solution's licensing is about $14,000 for 12 servers for three years."
