"Great Alternative option for sharing large files via Email."

2.5/5

"Datto Workplace is Cloud Storage for IT Pros"

5/5

What do you like best about Datto Workplace?

Datto Workplace was very easy to deploy to over 30 workstations. We just used the admin account to send out invite links to all of the users, and then sent them a few short instructions on installing the software and moving their files into the cloud-protected folder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datto Workplace?

We had a really hard time migrating data from old servers. Quite a few clients needed to move away from physical servers and wanted their files on Datto Workplace, but moving terabytes of files into the cloud was a little tricky with the latest version of the software. My team ended up finding the trick to doing this, is to install the older version, which allowed you to point to an existing folder and sync that. (The new version creates a folder in which you had to drag the files into, but it capped out at syncing 25GB at a time or something like that. My use last use was early summer 2021, so updates may be in place now.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Datto Workplace:

Datto Workplace is a great option for anyone considering migrating their files away from a physical server. If you also want to give your office the flexibility of a hybrid work environment this is a great option. I have not personally tried DropBox Professional, so I only know how this product compares to DropBox Personal license, and Datto Workplace blows it out of the water. The best part about Datto as a company is that they've always had top-notch customer support. You can call in and get a live rep in minutes, and every single one I ever talked to was very well trained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Datto Workplace solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used Datto Workplace from around 2018 to 2021 at my previous employer. We helped many local businesses go from physical servers to Datto Cloud Storage. This eliminated their need to replace and maintain a physical server in perpetuity and eliminated the costs thereof. It also eliminates the risk of physical drive failures.

"Best Collaboration App"

4/5

What do you like best about Datto Workplace?

What I like about this tool is that I can backup and synchronize my files in a few clicks. Also you decide where and when sharing the file that you synchronized and let the user view or download the file directly with a simple click. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Datto Workplace?

What I dislike about that app is that sometimes it gets disconnected from the internet, and you don't know why; also, the workplace folder does the same behavior, and you have to click it to get it connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
