We performed a comparison between Datto Remote Monitoring and Management and TeamViewer Remote Management based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has a single pane of glass, and it integrates well with other software."
"I also like how Datto integrates seamlessly with the Autotask ticketing system."
"The project management and task management features work well. It's a decent product in that regard."
"The alerting system helps us determine what are high level alerts, and what are alerts which can wait for a day or two. We catch RAID failures, hot servers, bad drives (or predicted failures on drives), etc."
"The remote tool is nice. If a user needs assistance, I don't have to tell the user to do anything. I just ask the user if I can remote in, and 30 seconds later, I have remoted in. It has been really handy."
"AEM support is great for Macs."
"Automation, in terms of the standard patches and standard updates, and remote support are valuable. When it does the standard Windows and patches, it works really well. This is something they focus on. Remote support is also something they focus on quite a bit, and it works really well. Being able to get to an agent or a client computer right away is very helpful."
"We support nine different nonprofits, and the billing took the manager three or four days working on spreadsheets. When I finished automating everything with Datto, we cut everything down to a couple of hours. That's a substantial cost savings on the billing side."
"The screen-sharing feature is good. The latency is considerably lower compared to platforms like Zoom."
"It enhances collaboration among my board members during board meetings, whether annual, regular, or irregular."
"The product is secure."
"One of the most valuable features has been that it's a remote tool. I think this is a particularly good tool, and it's user-friendly."
"It is user-friendly for opening my server or PC."
"I like the possibility of using this software across different operating systems and clouds, such as AWS or Azure Cloud, while being able to efficiently transfer files and run the data."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Remote Access."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use. Using this solution enables us to get support easily."
"We would like to see a little more functionality when monitoring network devices, such as switches and routers."
"They have a tab to provide information about the type of hardware the computers have. One thing they don't specify is what model of hard drive the computers have. Identification of storage models would be nice."
"I would like the ability to remotely manage configuration and settings on individual units. Some organizations have a certain device configuration that needs to be consistent across all computers. For example, if we have computers that cannot go to sleep or hibernate because they're being accessed remotely, we need to be able to quickly configure those computers to not hibernate. With Datto, there is no easy and/or direct way to accomplish this. I can't create a group called No Hibernate and drag all those computers to that group so that they do not go into hibernation. There is no easy way to put in a policy or a procedure like that. It's still back to going to each computer and doing it by hand, which is what I'm trying to get away from. I want to automate and simplify as much as possible. I write code and scripts to do most of my work anyways. The intention is to get away from me having to be so hands-on."
"The actual setup and the automation of their product are horrific. When you buy it, there is nothing out of the box. You have to custom design it for everything you want it to do. You pay for implementation, but they don't really do a whole lot to help you get it going. I know it does a lot more than what ours is set up to do, which is frustrating. When I've demoed other systems, their setup is so much better. When you pay for their setup, there is so much more, whereas I just feel like we didn't get a very good setup."
"The only area where I see room for improvement is the ability to delay the application of patches for a set number of days."
"My most significant criticism is Datto is a complex product that takes a while to understand, but that could be said of almost any solution at the same level. It depends on where you're starting from. You have to rework all your workflows, and it's some heavy lifting if you want to get it right."
"The CRM capabilities are not very good. It's clunky and could work a lot better than it does. There are no marketing add-ins, for example."
"Be prepared to spend a lot of time on conversions if you have a lot of clients."
"Maybe TeamViewer could be improved with more scalability."
"VPN connection is an area with shortcomings that need improvement in the solution."
"One feature to add would be a mobile remote feature."
"Using the solution’s remote connection causes some lagging issues."
"The compatibility needs improvement in TeamViewer Remote Management because there's some incompatibility in some versions of the solution. Some solutions require the higher-performing version of TeamViewer Remote Management. Otherwise, there's incompatibility. The security provided by TeamViewer Remote Management in terms of data transfer also needs improvement. I'd like to see more features in the next release of TeamViewer Remote Management because it's still lacking in features. It would also be good for TeamViewer Remote Management to have a built-in remoting program similar to what Itarian has."
"The solution is a bit expensive. It could be cheaper."
"Sometimes you need more services and need to buy more, depending on if you need it short term or long term."
"AnyDesk is easier compared to TeamViewer Remote Management since there is no password. We use AnyDesk more."
