We performed a comparison between Azure Site Recovery and Datto Cloud Continuity based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"We use the tool for business continuity purposes."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"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 has the capability to scale well."
"The platform provides a faster backup process."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"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."
"The solution's reliability is one of its most valuable features...It is a very stable solution."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"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 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."
"I don't have any feedback to provide in terms of features that may be lacking."
"The product's scalability features could be even better."
"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."
"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."
