    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)

    It does exactly what it needs to do. If there is another MSP that needs a set-it-and-forget-it box they can deploy on client sites, I would recommend this box, especially if they are already using other Datto products such as Datto RMM, as it all integrates with the same portal.

    Slide BCDR, which is not listed. The slide is much simpler, and I found the alerts and alert clearing to be much more effective than Datto. It takes far fewer clicks in the slide interface to do what I need. Slide support is a little bit worse than Datto as it has no live chat

    Return on Investment
    Kaseya
    • 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.

    • The only negative was that when trying to migrate to another BCDR solution, they were not helpful in recovering the data.
