Datto Overview

Pro stress-test →

Datto is an MSP-focused business continuity and disaster recovery platform with integrated backup appliances and instant cloud virtualization. Over 17,000 MSPs worldwide use Datto to protect their clients' data. The company was built on a simple promise: when disaster strikes, your clients' businesses keep running.

Strategic Profile

Pro stress-test →

Datto was acquired by Kaseya in 2022 for $6.2 billion. Datto has maintained its independent product roadmap and pricing hasn't spiked following the acquisition. Datto is the MSP industry's favorite BDR vendor, with the SIRIS and ALTO appliances combining local backup with cloud replication, and the instant virtualization feature genuinely saving businesses during outages.

Competitive Landscape

Pro stress-test →

Datto dominates the MSP-focused BCDR market with its integrated hardware-cloud approach. Competitors include Veeam (software-only backup), Commvault (enterprise backup), and Veritas. Datto's differentiation lies in appliance-based architecture with instant cloud virtualization, unified multi-tenant management, and pricing predictability. Traditional software-only competitors like Veeam require customers to assemble separate hardware and cloud infrastructure, increasing complexity for MSPs.

Industry Context

Datto operates in Cloud backup and disaster recovery software.
