Datto SaaS is A Great Product for Backing Up Office 365

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We Datto SaaS Protection to backup the suite of Office 365 services (OneDrive, Email, SharePoint, and Teams) for some of our companies. Datto SaaS allows us to not only backup these services, but to restore these components in a DR situation by file up to entire site. The interface is easy to navigate and use.

  • When you look at each tenant account, listing the open tickets for that tenant would make it easier to communicate with Datto SaaS support.

This is an excellent addition to the Security Stack

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The cloud backend is quite simple to set up. Avoid involving the client at all. Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace's default recovery options are quite restricted. One email or deleted/lost file can demonstrate the value of a complete recovery in the case of calamity, and even a single email or deleted/lost file proves its usefulness.

Pros

  • The ability to integrate with your current support tools.
  • For each customer, it is simple to set up and administer.
  • All of your data is safe and sound.

Cons

  • If possible, I'd like to give my customers the ability to retrieve their own data from my system.
  • It has to keep up with more training.
  • Google Workspace does not have access to SaaS defense.

Most Important Features

  • Backups are simple to set up and run.
  • Cost per account may be easily seen.
  • A single point of entry for all things SaaS.

Return on Investment

  • The Datto SaaS protection is exactly what we were looking for to enable my clients back up their cloud data (M365, OneDrive, Teams, etc.).
  • All Datto options are designed such that minimum daily engagement with the product is necessary to still be able to easily pick up and leave, as is the case with this one.
  • In addition to its ease of use and low cost relative to its high value, we appreciate how affordable it is for us as well as our clients. I highly recommend it.
