Datto AV Reviews & Product Details

Datto AV has been effective as a lightweight endpoint protection solution that integrates well into existing RMM-driven workflows. Deployment and centralized management are straightforward, which makes it easier to maintain protection consistency across multiple environments without adding significant administrative overhead. We also like the visibility into endpoint status and threat events, along with the ability to manage policies remotely without relying on separate standalone security consoles.

While the platform works well for baseline endpoint protection, some advanced detection and response capabilities feel more limited compared to larger enterprise-focused security products. Alert detail and investigation context could also be more comprehensive during incident review. In environments with more aggressive security requirements, additional layered tooling may still be needed for deeper threat analysis and response automation.

First, the price is hard to beat since it's typically bundled into what we already are buying. It works great with DATTO EDR and can be controlled from one spot. For such a slim tool, it seems to do very well blocking the real-time threats and such. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit heavy compared to other solutions. It also tends to be hyper-sensitive, creating noise with false positives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the centralized database and UI system of Datto AV, which lets me view all issues at once and automatically address them. I appreciate how the integration with Datto RMM and Datto EDR allows for simple navigation to address problems quickly. The UI stands out as a feature I enjoy, and the setup was incredibly easy and quick, thanks to having our data and configuration ready. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think Datto AV could improve by providing a more simple explanation when responding to viruses. It would be better if it gave a better explanation of what occurred during a virus response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it integrates with other Kaseya products. The user interface makes it easy to manage AV/EDR across multiple customers, and overall it feels straightforward to use day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When we first took on the product, the support from Datto/Kaseya was very poor. Response times were slow, and that gradually reduced our confidence in the product. Over the past 12 months, things have improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Datto AV is that it is designed specifically for MSP operations rather than just endpoint protection.

There are plenty of antivirus products that detect malware. What makes Datto AV interesting is how tightly it integrates with the broader Datto/Kaseya ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not a complete endpoint security platform by itself

This is my biggest concern.

Datto AV is fundamentally an antivirus product. Modern threats increasingly require:

* Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)

* Managed Detection & Response (MDR)

* Threat hunting

* Behavioral analytics

* Incident response

Datto AV becomes significantly stronger when paired with Datto EDR, but on its own it is not a complete endpoint security strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Datto AV is the centralized management and simplicity. It integrates well into an MSP environment, is easy to deploy across multiple endpoints, and provides solid visibility into threats and device status without requiring a lot of day-to-day maintenance.

The reporting and alerting could be more detailed in certain situations, and there are times when troubleshooting or policy customization feels somewhat limited compared to larger enterprise-focused antivirus platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
