* No Hyper-V integration * VirtualBox performance is terrible, although KVM is now rolling out * Large agent to install on each VM (due to lack of Hyper-V support) * Unreliable agents - known to cause VMs to reboot, especially older Windows 2008 systems * Lack of VLAN support * Cloud recovery is missing flexibility and the ability to create virtual firewalls or VPNs based on IPsec. Only OpenVPN is supported at this time. * Their cloud recovery option is tedious, a manual process that has to be planned up to 2 weeks for a validation process. * You really need to test it thoroughly to understand its limitations and issues. * Datto chose to build their own cloud, instead of leveraging AWS, Azure or GCP. It looks, feels and behaves like a beta product (lacks maturity). * As expected, customer service, products are in disarray after the reverse acquisition of AutoTask. I recommend that you stay away from Datto.
Datto Cloud Continuity for PCs is much more than just cloud backup. MSPs can protect clients’ Windows-based computers from downtime and data loss and more importantly, rapidly recover data if disaster strikes.
