The vendor offers a complete turnkey solution for managed service providers

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. There are so many IT companies out there because there are so many ways to become a managed service provider. Datto does it all—RMM, security, network hardware, backup—so you could white-label it, come up with some weird logo on Canva, and open a LinkedIn account, then you're a managed service provider overnight.

A reliable and scalable solution that can be used to ensure workloads are replicated when needed

A couple of years back, our data center was located in Fort Lauderdale, known as Hurricane Alley. We would swing our workloads or production data center into our Dallas data center from July the first until the whole hurricane season. Once hurricane season was done, we would swing everything back to South Florida on November the first. Currently, we have a state-of-the-art data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Since it is a location with no hurricanes, we've got less movement from a failing-over perspective. From a compliance perspective, we need to show our compliance partners that we can cut over a data center should we need to and run out of a different data center somewhere else. This is necessary for compliance, insurance, and HIPAA compliance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution has the capability to scale well."

"The platform provides a faster backup process."

"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."

"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 solution's reliability is one of its most valuable features...It is a very stable solution."

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

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery can be used for snapshots, backup, and disaster recovery."

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."

"The product is very simple and very easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the local storage solution, which significantly boosts performance, especially when transitioning from traditional architecture."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Disaster Recovery is the reliability and scalability of being able to swing our workloads across the country."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"The dashboard could be a bit refreshed, and some configuration parts could be less confusing."

"The solution's bandwidth utilization can be improved further."

"The product must allow users to create a production domain on the main site in one hypervisor and a backup site on another."

"The solution should include a standard license for the object level and file level."

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery needs to have a feature that can automate manual tasks."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Nutanix Disaster Recovery is a cheap solution."

"The solution’s pricing is good."
