In 1995 or 1996, there were a lot of solutions that were focused on cybersecurity, but they only had the ability to notify you if something went wrong or they suspected that something went wrong. If you were a decent-sized company, you had to put your security operations team on it to understand what went wrong. In 2005 or 2006, when I started at my previous company, I was responsible for business development and growing their business. I was also responsible for evaluating or recommending new products to bring on board and turn them from a managed IT services provider to a managed IT services and cybersecurity services provider, which I did successfully, but there were so many companies that were in the legacy that just notified you of a problem. Datto not only notified you of a problem, but they also worked to resolve it without your intervention. So, that's what I brought on board. 

We used Acronis and backed up to USB drives. The Datto solution is much more full featured and we love the fact that it is a turn-key solution that handles all of our needs for DR.

We evaluated Intronis/Barracuda. We did the switch due to:

• Poor technical support
• Missing features
• Unreliable backups
• Unreliable recoveries
• Very slow download of complete images for recovery

We had used others without purpose to put it in the scheme of a DRP, like ArcServer, but only to do conventional backups and not to function as your alternate platform.
