Best forMSPs and IT teams needing unified backup and disaster recovery across on-prem, virtual, cloud, endpoint and SaaS data; Service providers that want PSA, RMM, backup, networking and security from one partner-first vendor; Teams facing ransomware risk that need immutable cloud backups and fast, repeatable recovery; IT businesses that value free 24/7 vendor support plus named onboarding and account managersMultinational employers running payroll in many countries who want one provider and one governance model; Companies consolidating multiple in-country payroll providers into a single global model; HR and finance teams that need payroll wired into HRIS/HCM systems such as Workday, UKG, HiBob, Sage People or Cornerstone; Organisations with internationally mobile staff needing assignment payroll, expat tax and mobility coordination
Not forOrganizations that want to buy directly - Datto sells exclusively through MSP partners; Teams looking for self-serve signup, a free tier or published list pricing; Very small shops unwilling to deploy appliances or complete partner onboarding; Buyers who need a single point SaaS backup tool rather than a broad IT operations platformSingle-country employers with simple domestic payroll needs; Buyers who want self-serve payroll software with no managed-service layer; Teams that require published, self-checkout pricing before evaluation; Very small headcounts where a global managed payroll model is disproportionate
