Overview

What is Datto SIRIS?

Datto SIRIS is a business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) platform designed specifically for MSPs. It combines on-premises appliance storage with cloud replication, screenshot verification of every backup, and instant virtualization — the ability to spin up a protected machine in the cloud within minutes of a failure. SIRIS is the category reference for hybrid BCDR in the MSP market.

Strengths

What operators love

  1. Screenshot verification of every backup

    Automated screenshot of every recovery point confirms the OS is bootable — eliminates the 'backup that can't restore' problem.

  2. Instant virtualization in Datto Cloud

    Spin up a protected server in Datto's cloud within minutes of a failure. RTO measured in minutes, not hours.

  3. Purpose-built for MSP delivery

    Multi-tenant management, white-label portal, and MSP-specific billing make it operationally efficient to run at scale.

Weaknesses

Where it falls down

  1. Custom pricing creates quoting friction

    No published pricing — every deal requires a quote from Datto's partner team. Slows down small account decision-making.

  2. Appliance hardware tied to Datto

    You cannot bring your own hardware — you must use Datto-approved appliances, which limits flexibility and increases hardware costs.

  3. Kaseya acquisition uncertainty

    Post-Kaseya acquisition, roadmap and pricing uncertainty affects long-term planning confidence for MSPs building BCDR proposals.

Best fit

Who should use it

MSPs serving clients with servers and regulatory compliance requirements where backup recoverability must be documented and tested. Healthcare and legal clients are ideal fits.

Not for

Skip this if…

MSPs serving primarily cloud-native SMBs with no on-premises servers — SaaS backup tools are more cost-effective. Very price-sensitive SMB accounts where hybrid BCDR cost can't be justified.
