Key takeaways
- Datto is a Kaseya product family, not a separate company. Datto RMM, SaaS Protection and the SIRIS BCDR line are all still current products, and SIRIS 6 launched in October 2025.
- The commercial terms changed. From December 2025, Datto RMM, SaaS Protection and Autotask moved to Committed Minimum Quantity plus Variable Consumption billing, with the rest of the Kaseya portfolio expected to follow by 30 June 2026.
- Datto SaaS Defense is end of life. INKY is the default for new Kaseya 365 User sales from 1 January 2026, support ends 31 December 2026 and it is decommissioned 30 June 2027.
- Work out which Datto you are replacing first. Datto is three different products in three different categories, and almost nothing replaces all of them. RMM and PSA is a different shortlist from BCDR, which is a different shortlist again from SaaS backup.
- Two vendors that appear on most Datto-alternatives lists are now owned by competitors: Dropsuite is NinjaOne SaaS Backup, and Axcient belongs to ConnectWise.
9 Datto Alternatives for MSPs
Most Datto-alternatives lists make the same mistake, which is treating Datto as one product. It is three, in three different categories, and the shortlist is completely different depending on which one you are trying to leave.
Datto RMM and Autotask are an MSP operations platform. SIRIS and ALTO are BCDR appliances. SaaS Protection is Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup. Very few vendors compete across all three, and the ones that claim to are usually strong in one and thin in the others.
What has genuinely changed in the last year is commercial rather than technical. Effective December 2025, Datto RMM, SaaS Protection and Autotask moved off High Watermark pricing onto a Committed Minimum Quantity plus Variable Consumption model, with the remaining Kaseya products expected to follow by 30 June 2026. Separately, Datto SaaS Defense is end of life, with support ending 31 December 2026 and full decommissioning on 30 June 2027. If your renewal is coming up, those two are worth reading closely.
This list is organised by category, with what each vendor actually charges where they publish it, and an honest limitation on every entry.
Disclosure: Syncro is our platform. We have placed it second in the RMM and PSA category, and we say plainly in its entry that it does not replace Datto BCDR, because it does not. We applied the same criteria to Syncro as to every other vendor here, including naming what it cannot do. Weight the G2 reviews above any vendor blog, including ours.
First, work out which Datto product you’re replacing
| If you are leaving | You are shopping for | Look at |
|---|---|---|
| Datto RMM and Autotask | An MSP operations platform: RMM plus PSA | NinjaOne, Syncro, ConnectWise |
| Datto SIRIS or ALTO | BCDR: appliance or direct-to-cloud, with failover | Axcient x360Recover, Acronis, Veeam |
| Datto SaaS Protection | Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup | Veeam Data Cloud, CyberSentriq, NinjaOne SaaS Backup |
| Datto Networking | Networking hardware with cloud management | Ubiquiti UniFi, Cisco Meraki |
| All of it, to consolidate | Fewer vendors, not one vendor | Expect two or three, not one |
That last row is the honest answer for most MSPs. Datto’s breadth is real, and replacing it with a single vendor usually means accepting a weaker product in at least one category.
How we evaluated the alternatives
Four criteria: whether the vendor publishes a price you can read without a sales call, what the pricing unit is, current G2 rating with review volume read in August 2026, and current ownership, because two vendors commonly listed as Datto alternatives are now owned by direct competitors. Sources are vendor pricing pages and product documentation, G2 listings, and Kaseya’s own DattoCon 2025 press release and end-of-life notices for the Datto product changes. Where a figure could not be verified from a primary source, it is not in this article.
MSP operations: replacing Datto RMM and Autotask
1. NinjaOne
The most direct replacement for Datto RMM, and the only large RMM vendor here that publishes a rate card: from $1.50 per device per month at 10,000 endpoints up to $3.75 at 50 or fewer. Omdia’s May 2026 assessment put NinjaOne above $500 million ARR in fiscal 2025 at nearly 70% year-over-year growth. Since acquiring Dropsuite in June 2025 it also sells NinjaOne SaaS Backup, so it now covers two of the three Datto categories.
What we like: Published per-device pricing, which almost nobody in this market does. Largest G2 review base on this page at 5,029. Strong patch management with approval workflows and rollback. SaaS backup now in-house rather than partnered.
What we don’t like: No native PSA, so it replaces Datto RMM but not Autotask, and you will be buying a PSA separately. Per-device pricing means your bill still grows with client endpoint counts. No BCDR, so it does not touch SIRIS.
Pricing: $1.50 to $3.75 per device per month, published. 14-day free trial.
G2 rating: 4.7 out of 5 across 5,029 reviews.
2. Syncro
Syncro replaces Datto RMM and Autotask with one platform rather than two products, at a flat per-technician rate with unlimited endpoints: Core at $129 per user per month billed annually, Team at $179. No minimum commitment, which is the specific contrast with the December 2025 Committed Minimum Quantity change.
Being straight about scope: Syncro does not replace Datto BCDR. There is no appliance, no direct-to-cloud server imaging and no virtual failover. Syncro Cloud Backup covers Microsoft 365 and Entra ID only, as a paid add-on at $1.90 per user per month. If SIRIS is what you are leaving, look at Axcient, Acronis or Veeam below, not here.
Where it does fit: RMM and PSA in one database, patch approvals on four named states inheriting down a policy hierarchy, and dedicated importers for Atera, Autotask and ConnectWise plus an agent-install path for NinjaOne assets.
What we like: Published flat per-technician pricing with unlimited endpoints and no minimum quantity. RMM and PSA share one database rather than being two integrated products. An Autotask importer specifically, which matters if that is what you are leaving. 14-day trial, no credit card, starting on the Team Plan.
What we don’t like: No BCDR at all, so it cannot consolidate a Datto estate on its own. Smaller than NinjaOne or ConnectWise by review volume, so less independent signal. A lot of capability sits on Team rather than Core, including all Microsoft 365 management, network discovery and the CIS-aligned security baselines. And the Autotask importer covers customers, contacts, tickets and comments, but not invoices.
Pricing: Core $129, Team $179, per user per month billed annually. Microsoft 365 Cloud Backup add-on $1.90 per user per month, available on both plans. 14-day free trial.
G2 rating: 4.5 out of 5 across 538 reviews.
3. ConnectWise
The like-for-like enterprise swap, and the only vendor here whose PSA is a genuine peer to Autotask. ConnectWise Manage is now ConnectWise PSA, and the Asio platform was rebranded as the ConnectWise Platform in June 2026, with PSA already ported and RMM agents to follow. ConnectWise also owns Axcient, so it can cover BCDR as well, which makes it the closest thing on this page to a full Datto replacement from one vendor.
What we like: Deepest automation and policy control for MSPs. A PSA that genuinely matches Autotask. Owns Axcient, so RMM, PSA and BCDR can come from one vendor. Large ecosystem and active community.
What we don’t like: No published pricing; connectwise.com/pricing is a quote form, so you are trading one opaque vendor for another. Steep learning curve. Mid-platform-transition, meaning the product you buy is being replaced by the one they are building. And on 20 April 2026 ConnectWise published a security bulletin for Automate 2026.4 covering CVE-2026-6066, cleartext transmission of sensitive information, base score 7.1.
Pricing: Not published, quote only.
G2 rating: ConnectWise PSA 4.0 out of 5 across 583 reviews. ConnectWise Automate 4.1 across 140.
BCDR: replacing SIRIS and ALTO
4. Axcient x360Recover
The closest architectural match to SIRIS: appliance or direct-to-cloud deployment, Chain-Free backups, AirGap, AutoVerify and Virtual Office failover. Note the ownership, because most lists get it wrong: ConnectWise acquired Axcient in September 2024, and G2 lists the vendor as ConnectWise.
What we like: Genuine SIRIS-equivalent capability including virtual failover, which is the hard part to replace. Flat fee with pooled data storage rather than per-gigabyte metering. 14-day trial with no credit card. Strong 4.6 rating.
What we don’t like: No published pricing. Now owned by ConnectWise, so if you are diversifying away from large consolidators this is not that. Smaller review base at 132.
Pricing: Not published, quote only. Flat fee with pooled storage included.
G2 rating: x360Recover 4.6 out of 5 across 132 reviews. x360Cloud, its M365 backup product, 4.4 across 89.
5. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud
The broadest single product here: backup, disaster recovery, anti-malware, EDR and endpoint management in one console, sold to service providers. Three licensing models are offered, per-workload SKUs, fixed monthly per protected workload with storage included, or per gigabyte of protected data. Included storage is generous: unlimited for Microsoft 365, 3TB per server, 2TB per VM, 300GB per desktop.
What we like: Covers BCDR and SaaS backup and endpoint security in one platform, which is genuinely broad. Flexible licensing models let you match the billing shape to how you sell. Strong 4.7 rating. Acronis launched Cyber Frame in May 2026, adding hosted infrastructure for service providers.
What we don’t like: No published pricing. Breadth comes with complexity, and MSPs frequently report the console is a lot to learn. No PSA, so it does not touch Autotask. We are also not quoting a G2 review count here: two reads of the same page in one session returned 1,442 and 1,349, a gap too large to be normal accrual, so treat any count you see with suspicion until you check it yourself.
Pricing: Not published, quote only. Three licensing models available.
G2 rating: 4.7 out of 5. Review count not quoted, see above.
6. Veeam
The enterprise-grade option, and the one with the most relevant recent launch. Veeam Data Cloud for MSPs went live on 15 October 2025 alongside Veeam Service Provider Console v9, which is the first time Veeam has offered MSPs a properly multi-tenant, Veeam-operated SaaS backup service rather than software to run themselves. Unusually for this page, some Veeam pricing is published: Microsoft 365 Foundation at $2.63 per user per month billed annually at 251-plus users, Entra ID at $1.08 per enabled member user per month, Azure at $42 per TB per month.
What we like: Best-in-class backup engine with the broadest platform support. Published per-user and per-TB pricing on Veeam Data Cloud, which is rare here. Free Community Edition of Backup and Replication up to 10 workloads. Acquired Securiti AI in December 2025 for $1.725 billion, adding data-security posture management.
What we don’t like: The MSP rental SKU itself is not published; the figures above are end-customer Veeam Data Cloud rates. Veeam Data Platform pricing is quote only. It is a backup vendor, not an MSP operations platform, so no RMM and no PSA. And the product naming across Data Platform, Data Cloud, Cloud Connect and Service Provider Console takes real effort to navigate.
Pricing: Veeam Data Cloud published from $1.08 per user per month for Entra ID and $2.63 for M365 Foundation. Data Platform and the MSP rental program are quote only. 30-day trial.
G2 rating: 4.6 out of 5 across roughly 748 reviews.
SaaS backup: replacing Datto SaaS Protection
This is the category where the December 2025 billing change and the SaaS Defense end-of-life both land, so it is where most of the current shopping is happening.
7. CyberSentriq
The entrant most Datto-alternatives lists miss entirely, because it did not exist when they were written. CyberSentriq was formed on 4 June 2025 by the merger of Redstor and TitanHQ, backed by Bregal Milestone, and it combines email security, immutable Microsoft 365 and Entra ID backup, email archiving, DNS filtering and security awareness training. That combination is close to the Datto SaaS Protection Plus shape, and it arrives exactly as SaaS Defense is being retired.
What we like: MSP-first by design rather than adapted from an enterprise product. Backup and email security in one platform, which is the specific gap SaaS Defense’s retirement creates. Strong 4.6 rating across roughly 397 reviews, which is a substantial base for a company formed in 2025. Roughly 4,000 MSP partners.
What we don’t like: Newest vendor here, and a merged product line means integration between the Redstor and TitanHQ halves is still maturing. We could not verify its pricing or free trial from a primary source, so confirm both directly. No RMM, no PSA, no BCDR.
Pricing: Not verified. Confirm with the vendor.
G2 rating: 4.6 out of 5 across roughly 397 reviews.
8. NinjaOne SaaS Backup, formerly Dropsuite
Worth stating clearly because most lists still get this wrong: Dropsuite is not an independent vendor. NinjaOne completed the acquisition on 2 June 2025 for roughly $270 million, and dropsuite.com now redirects trials and demos to ninjaone.com. It is cloud backup and real-time email archiving for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Entra ID and QuickBooks Online, now sold inside NinjaOne.
What we like: Mature product with a long track record, now backed by a much larger vendor. Real-time email archiving is a genuine differentiator against pure backup tools. Sits alongside NinjaOne RMM if you are already there.
What we don’t like: No published pricing. If your reason for leaving Datto is avoiding large consolidators, this is a move into another one. And there is no longer a reachable standalone Dropsuite G2 profile, so independent review signal specific to this product is hard to find.
Pricing: Not published, quote only. Note that NinjaOne’s published $1.50 to $3.75 per device band is its endpoint-management platform, not a SaaS backup rate.
G2 rating: No reliable standalone figure. The Dropsuite product profile is no longer reachable on G2.
Networking: replacing Datto Networking
Worth flagging as its own decision, because the Datto Networking line has an active end-of-life schedule. The DNA-EA6 and DNA-NA secure routers went end-of-sale on 31 July 2025 with support to 2028, AP42 reaches end of life on 31 May 2026, AP62 on 31 December 2026, and the MP10 and MP60 managed power units on 30 April 2026. There is also a new Datto Firewalls line in early access.
9. Ubiquiti UniFi
The value answer, and the one with genuinely published pricing on a page where almost nothing else has it. Gateways start at $129 for the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra as a one-time hardware purchase, and the management software is free with no licences and no subscription. Ubiquiti’s 2026 release cadence has been heavy: Dream Machine Beast in April, 5G Backup in May, Enterprise Firewall Core in June, Network 10.5 in June.
What we like: Published hardware prices and zero licensing cost, which changes the margin arithmetic completely against subscription-licensed networking. Broad product range from small sites to enterprise. Very active development.
What we don’t like: Support is community-first rather than enterprise-grade, which is a real consideration for client-facing infrastructure. Stock availability has historically been inconsistent. Multi-site management is good but not built around MSP multi-tenancy the way Datto Networking was.
Pricing: Hardware from $129 for a Cloud Gateway Ultra, one-time. Management software free, no subscription.
G2 rating: 4.5 out of 5 across 37 reviews for the UniFi network management profile. Small base.
The enterprise alternative is Cisco Meraki, which is the closest match to Datto Networking’s cloud-managed, per-device-licensed model. Cisco does not publish Meraki pricing, and Meraki subscription licences are being folded into the unified Cisco Networking Subscription with a standard 36-month minimum term. Any Meraki price you find online is a reseller estimate, so quote it through Cisco or a partner.
Bottom line: Replace what you’re actually paying for
Before you shortlist anything, work out whether you are leaving Datto RMM, Datto BCDR, Datto SaaS Protection or all three. The answer changes the entire list.
If it is Datto RMM and Autotask, Syncro replaces both with one platform at a published flat rate per technician, unlimited endpoints, no minimum commitment. It will not replace SIRIS, and we would rather tell you that now. Start a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, or book a demo and we will map your Autotask data against a Syncro import.
Frequently Asked Questions About Datto Alternatives
No. Kaseya completed its $6.2 billion acquisition of Datto on 23 June 2022, and Datto has been a Kaseya product family since. The Datto brand is still in active use with its own storefront and product catalogue, and DattoCon is still the flagship partner event, but the commercial relationship, the billing entity and the roadmap are Kaseya’s.
No. Datto RMM is still a current, actively developed product, and it is one of three RMM options inside Kaseya 365 Endpoint alongside VSA 10 and VSA 9. Datto SaaS Protection and the SIRIS BCDR line are also still current, with SIRIS 6 launched in October 2025. What has been retired is Datto SaaS Defense, which is being replaced by INKY.
Mostly commercial rather than technical. The December 2025 move to Committed Minimum Quantity plus Variable Consumption billing changed how shrinkage in a client estate affects your bill. Kaseya publishes no pricing for any of these products. And the SaaS Defense end-of-life plus the announced Cyber Resiliency Platform re-platforming both create uncertainty about what you are renewing into.
There is no single answer, because Datto is three products in three categories. For Datto RMM and Autotask, look at NinjaOne, Syncro or ConnectWise. For SIRIS or ALTO, look at Axcient x360Recover, Acronis or Veeam. For SaaS Protection, look at Veeam Data Cloud, CyberSentriq or NinjaOne SaaS Backup. Most MSPs leaving Datto end up with two or three vendors, not one.
Impossible to answer in the abstract, because Kaseya publishes no Datto pricing to compare against. What you can compare is structure. Per-technician platforms with unlimited endpoints, such as Syncro at $129 or $179 per user per month, hold their price as client estates grow. Per-device platforms such as NinjaOne, at a published $1.50 to $3.75, scale with endpoint count. Flat-fee pooled-storage BCDR such as Axcient behaves differently again from per-gigabyte metering.
Syncro and ConnectWise both do natively. Syncro runs RMM and PSA on one database at a published per-technician rate. ConnectWise PSA is the closer peer to Autotask on depth and customisation, but its pricing is quote only. NinjaOne, Acronis, Veeam, Axcient and CyberSentriq all have no PSA, so pairing one of them with a separate PSA is the usual route.
Three practical ones. Backup chain continuity, because most BCDR migrations mean starting a new chain and retaining the old system for your retention window. Billing data, because PSA importers routinely bring across tickets and contacts but not invoices. And contract overlap, because the Committed Minimum Quantity model means you may be paying a minimum on the old platform while ramping the new one. Budget for one full billing cycle of overlap.
G2 is the most useful source for this category, and every vendor on this page is linked to its G2 listing above. Weight the review count as heavily as the score: NinjaOne’s 4.7 across 5,029 reviews and Axcient’s 4.6 across 132 are not equivalent signals. Reddit’s r/msp is the other place MSPs discuss migrations candidly, particularly around billing and support experience.
