I have a company called The Automated Method. I don't use the tech—I recommend it to others—so I'm an influencer if you will. We have partnerships with Datto and other vendors. I have hands-on experience with solutions but I don't physically set anything up anymore. 

I used to use the solution when I used to work for an MSP for whom I used to deploy the product for the clients. Speaking about the use cases, the product is usually used for ransomware prevention. My company had not dealt with any hardware fall downs. The cost-benefit ratio of Datto Cloud Continuity is determined by how much a user's assets are worth or how frequently the company of its user has been a victim of ransomware attacks, which is usually 40 percent of the time for most of the small and medium businesses. The total cost of a user's assets versus a 40 percent risk that a user could lose everything is the area where Datto Cloud Continuity's cost-benefit analysis fits in properly, as it serves as a recovery control.

We use Datto Cloud Continuity for backup computers for end users. We download an agent from the data web page, install it on the client’s computer, and start creating the backup image. Later, it synchronizes with the cloud for the backup process. 

I used it in my previous company. I was heading up sales and doing research into new solutions for a team of four on-the-ground people. We leveraged ConnectWise as our network operation center, security operation center, and help desk. We wanted to stop people from experiencing ransomware. We wanted to protect them.

The solution is primarily used for disaster recovery scenarios.

Backup.  For local backup, it works well. Thank you StorageCraft.  For the Cloud - we have given up that strategy.  We don't even consider the local virtualized recovery, because the performance is ridiculous.
