Plug it in and go for an easy-to-use, seamless experience from the start. | A DIY solution requiring customization and add-ons. Hardware is not included, so customers face hours of design and configuration. |
| Seamless, reliable instant recovery | Recover instantly, whether on-prem or in the cloud. Get a fully vertically integrated approach, so hardware and software are optimized for reliable recoveries. | Restore workflows involve multiple components, configuration steps and require increased manual overhead to ensure recovery readiness. |
| Recovery confidence | Datto’s patented screenshot verification and 1-click DR-testing gives you peace of mind and full recovery confidence. | Must purchase additional SKUs and pay for screenshot verification. Many users report that it is confusing and difficult to setup. No 1-click DR-testing orchestration. |

IT and security solutions that drive operational efficiency
Kaseya helps MSPs simplify complexity, eliminate wasted time, and deliver a better customer experience — without juggling multiple vendors.

"I like the ability to say, ‘No matter what happens, we can get you back online.’ Even if a car crashes into your building, an airplane lands on your office, there’s a flood or somebody steals your server, we’ve got you covered." Keith Burton, CEO, DataSHUR Corporation
True efficiency at scale
Get more done with over 1,500 automations and integrations across your entire tech-stack. Datto helps you react faster and recover better, thanks to built-in automations that reduce reaction times and unify your workflow.
“The response time was a little over a minute from the start of the encryption that triggered the alert and the response of the ransomware policy. That was extremely impressive.” — Casey Postma, Cybersecurity Lead at ITPartners+
Predictable pricing
With all-in pricing that includes hardware, Datto has no hidden costs. There are never any surprises when you bill your end users, and you’re not stuck with unexpected costs. It’s easier than ever to deliver better service at better prices, all without cutting corners.
"Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) is a tough nut to crack. Many organizations pay for BCDR solutions, thinking they have them protected, but they don’t. Before we introduce change to a client environment, we need to understand what we are building on top of. BCDR is the foundation on which we build our practice. If there are cracks in the foundation, we have a great solution (Datto SIRIS) to fill those gaps." Robert Thurston, Chief Operating Officer, Vicinity

Datto is a turnkey solution that eliminates the complexity of business continuity and disaster recovery while providing complete peace of mind. Datto’s advantage is that the hardware, software, and cloud have been designed as a single, integrated system for minimal setup, management overhead or troubleshooting. It’s end-to-end control that builds security and ransomware protection directly into every layer. Plus, as part of the Kaseya platform, you get access and integrations across your entire IT ecosystem.
We’re invested in your success. Beyond offering best-in-class products, we offer services like the Partner First Pledge, Professional Services, global support, marketing enablement and peer programs to help you get the most out of your subscription.
You get free hardware, instant local and cloud virtualizations, one-click DR testing, free support-assisted DR testing, turnkey immutability and ransomware hardening, and fully automated recovery point validation. And the confidence of over 18 years of tried and tested backup software.
We focus on total service margin, not just line‑item pricing. With Datto, costs are predictable (appliance + cloud). And when you subscribe to Kaseya 365, you’ll save even more since consolidation typically reduces tool sprawl, manual effort and overhead.
Kaseya follows rigorous security standards and undergoes independent assessments. We provide a current security & compliance pack (attestations and third‑party assessments) on request under NDA.
We’re happy to offer flexible options that align with your growth plan and flexibility requirements, including multi‑year and month-to-month terms. We’ll tailor the commercial structure (and any ramp programs) to your service rollout and cash‑flow needs.
