Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.

The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Channel-Focused DRaaS (Datto, Acronis): Highly popular for mid-sized companies working through Managed Service Providers” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Backup and DR · scale prompt · alternative
“Datto provides appliance + local virtualization for rapid failover, ideal for SMB/MSP with limited IT staff.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Backup and DR · comparative prompt · alternative
“Built for MSPs and mid/large B2B; all-in-one BCDR with cloud failover... Drawbacks: More MSP-oriented.” Grok 4.20 · Backup and DR · direct prompt · alternative
“Datto SIRIS is noted for unified backup and disaster recovery with instant virtualization” Perplexity Sonar · Backup and DR · paraphrase prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“product packaging and current positioning can change, so I'd want to verify the latest official details before making a strong recommendation” GPT-5.4 mini · Backup and DR · comparative prompt · soft negative
“Since Kaseya acquired Datto in 2022 and Unitrends in 2018, renewal and support issues have been reported for both.” Claude Haiku 4.5 · Backup and DR · negative prompt · soft negative
“primarily focused on backup and disaster recovery rather than full business continuity management” Mistral Small · Business continuity · negative prompt · soft negative
“Primarily targeted at MSPs; may feel "over‑engineered" if you have a small fleet.” MiniMax M2.5 · Backup and DR · direct prompt · soft negative

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Datto SIRIS's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Datto SIRIS, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Datto SIRIS by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

  • where Datto SIRIS is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
  • the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
  • its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
  • who was chosen in the answers that did not name Datto SIRIS, and every reason the record gives;
  • a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
  • one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.

A verification link goes to your work email; an address at datto.com is approved on the spot, any other is reviewed by hand. Your email is never published. Claiming gives no say over labels, shares, verdicts or which quotes appear.
