Chose Datto ALTO
Datto cloud backup reporting, user interface, and overall functionality are so much better than Avast Cloud backup that it can barely be a comparison. We had an issue with Avast Cloud backup that reporting wasn't working correctly, and while it looked like someone's data was …

Chose Datto ALTO
Datto has been the best so far for backing up servers. Support is quick to resolve issues, and the Code Red team during recovery is calming during the whole process. Recovery is easy to do and does not require reaching out to support for a hidden method to get the recovery to …

Fantastic for a small site with a single server to back up with less than 1TB of data. Great for scenarios where business continuity is OK to run a little slow. Not great for scenarios where Disk Speed on the server is important (i.e. CAD files, databases, etc.). Great for restoring Active Directory.

Datto cloud backup reporting, user interface, and overall functionality are so much better than Avast Cloud Backup that it can barely be a comparison. We had an issue with Avast Cloud Backup that reporting wasn't working correctly, and while it looked like someone's data was backing up it was actually failing and a customer of ours lost some important data. We have not had this issue with Datto Alto

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • We are able to offer our customers a relatively inexpensive offsite data storage option that can also act as a stop-gap if they were to have major hardware failures
  • we have not had any negative impacts from Datto
  • The ease of installation/setup of Datto Alto has enabled us to mail out the device to a customer and have them plug it into their network to save us time delivering and setting up if the customer was a long distance from us.
