Carbonite, an OpenText company
I believe it works best for our small to medium size businesses customers. It quickly identifies if a file or folder is having backup issues. This user-friendly interface makes it easier to understand. Since there is no on-site IT staff it makes it easier for them to quickly check [their] backups.

Datto Alto has been best suited for our customers who do not have an extremely large amount of data (Less than 2TB). We have had issues with customers that had limitations to how useful the cloud option was based on their internet speed (Rural)

Unitrends is a more robust software meant for larger businesses. I chose to compare to Unitrends to point out why we target small to medium customers with Carbonite. Unitrends does full VM and file backups while carbonite backups up files. Unitrends is expensive and harder to set up. Carbonite is quick and easy.

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 work

  • 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.
