IDrive® BMR Vs Datto
IDrive BMR provides high performance and a host of other benefits to address your backup requirements
- Why IDrive® BMR is better?
- IDrive® BMR
- Datto
Better performance† |
(30% faster incremental backup and cloud replication) |
– |
Hardware specification |
(Best-in-class solution with enterprise-grade processor and server-grade hardware configuration) |
(Limited) |
Backup unlimited computers |
(No licensing per computer/VM backup) |
(License-based plans allow you to backup only limited computers) |
Backup unlimited ESXi hosts / vCenter servers |
(No licensing per computer/VM backup) |
(License-based plans allow you to backup only limited computers; each VM added for backup from VMware server is charged) |
|
Deduplication# |
(Up to 30% higher storage efficiency with block-level deduplication) |
(Does not use deduplication for storage) |
VMware backup |
(Unrestricted backup of VMs, irrespective of OS, file system, and disk type) |
(Does not support agentless backup for spanned volumes, ESXi shared volumes, ReFS file systems, and so on) |
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 6TB plan, you get 6TB of cloud space) |
(Cloud storage starts at $150/TB/month) |
Customer support |
(Gold level support: 2 levels of support available |
(The first-level support is handled by reseller) |
Cost-effective |
(Best of all worlds in terms of hardware specification, cloud storage, and unlimited licenses at a competitive price) |
(Costs higher for limited licenses, storage, and hardware) |
† 30% faster incremental backup and cloud replication were observed based on internal testing.
