IDrive^® BMR Vs Datto

Why IDrive^® BMR is better?
IDrive^® BMR
Datto

Better performance^†	30% faster incremental backup and cloud replication	–
Hardware specification	Custom-built, best-in-class solution with enterprise-grade processor and server-grade hardware configuration	Pre-defined hardware models with limited hardware and processor options
Backup configuration	Automatically discovers the computer via the backup agent and applies global backup settings	Every computer has to be manually paired to the server and the backup configurations need to be set up individually
Backup unlimited computers	No licensing per computer	License-based plans allow you to backup only limited computers
Backup unlimited ESXi hosts / vCenter servers	No licensing per virtual machine	License-based plans allow you to backup only limited VMs; each VM added for backup from VMware server is charged
VMware backup	Intuitive flow for agentless backup and configuration of ESXi and vCenter VMs. Supports easy backup configuration of multiple VMs and VMware servers	VMware backup configuration is a time-consuming process that requires the manual addition of every single VM and setting up the backup
VM reconfiguration	Reconfigure VM without deleting it and thereby prevent loss of data that was added to the VM	You need to delete VMs to reconfigure virtual machines, which leads to loss of new data added to the VM instance
Virtualization platform	Upload OS recovery ISO, which can be used to boot up the VM and fix boot issues	Doesn't support upload of recovery ISO to resolve VM boot issues
WinRE recovery	Perform WinRE restore with a variety of tools, which are reliable and faster than Linux-based restore	You can only perform Linux-based ISO restore
Memory management	Better memory management during virtualization of computers/VMware servers	Memory management for virtual instances is not optimal
Statistics	Statistics availbale for all backed-up machines and VMs	Provides limited utilization information
Free cloud storage	Free cloud storage space matching the device size; for instance, for a 8 TB plan, you get 8 TB of cloud space	Cloud storage starts at $150/TB/month
Customer support	Gold level support: 2 levels of support available Tier 1 - Phone and chat support; Tier 2 - Remote support	The first-level support is handled by reseller
Cost-effective	Best in terms of hardware specification, cloud storage, and unlimited licenses	Costs higher for limited licenses, storage, and hardware
