Datto Backupify Pricing Plan & Cost Guide

Pros
Their BDR device is simple to set up, and works as expected. You can virtualize from your backup media, and reduce downtime considerably. Their support team is average - expect some wait time, but unfortunately pretty much all backup software we've tried is about the same on support.

Cons
It seems like the BDR box that Datto builds is the only thing unique to the service. It's a lot cheaper to just configure your own BDR and use something like Acronis or ShadowProtect to do your backups. I gave this 4-5 stars on everything except value for money, because I think you can do the same thing for cheaper.

Pros
Storage size, speed of backups/restores, 3rd party company support who manage our backups/restores.

Cons
Price but can you really put a price on data loss?

Rating breakdown

Likelihood to recommend: 9/10

Pros
Cost effective, both browser and desktop client capable. Various ways to share your data through shared links or group permissions setup by the admin. Unlimited user potential, only pay for storage space used. Generous amount of storage initially at a competitive out of pocket expense.

Cons
Can only purchase through Partner Channels. Trying to find a Partner Channel is way more challenging then it should be. Pricing is a little deceiving if going by their advertisements online as I have yet to find a partner that would honor their advertised Tier 1 price points. Admin visibility can get somewhat confusing as admins cannot see all data stored in accounts created for their employees thus losing some data retention securities along with it.

Pros
Datto alerts integrate into our ticketing system and sends notices to our NOC engineers for fast remediation.

Cons
Cost is usually a problem when we suggest them to clients and its a twofold problem. The monthly infinite cloud retention fees as well as the hardware itself can be quite exorbitant.

Pros
Sleepless nights wondering if you could restore or what to do after ransomware targets a file server are no more. Good support and good product.

Cons
If you need to upgrade or replace a drive, the system needs to go offline to repair. In addition, bare metal restores have always been a problem. It can get expensive with the cloud portion.
