Datto SaaS Protection alternative: Tenvara
Datto SaaS Protection backs up Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for MSP customers, with automated backups and point in time restores. MSPs look at Tenvara when they want Microsoft 365 backup in the same app as their service desk, device backup and tenant management, with one consent per customer. If you also protect Google Workspace, Datto covers that and Tenvara does not.
