Datto

Overview

If a ransomware attack or hardware failure hit your business tomorrow, Datto is built to get you back up and running fast. Datto offers backup and disaster recovery for servers, PCs, SaaS applications like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and cloud workloads. Its immutable cloud storage keeps backups invisible to attackers. Beyond backup, Datto provides endpoint monitoring and management, network hardware including routers and WiFi, and an AI-powered service management platform called Autotask. The platform uses BackupIQ technology to automate backup operations and accelerate recovery. Datto sells primarily through managed service providers, meaning most small businesses access Datto through an IT partner rather than buying directly. If you already work with an IT provider, there is a strong chance they already offer Datto as part of their stack.
