This marks Datto’s third consecutive “Best Channel Vendor” win.

“Being recognized by the VAR community is always humbling,” stated Austin McChord, Datto founder and CEO. “We’re constantly looking for ways to better serve the channel and our Partners. What’s most exciting is that Datto won in the two categories most important to VARs and MSPs, “Channel Friendly” and “Product Reliability”. We pride ourselves in not only providing top notch customer service, but also trusted customizable technology that fits a myriad of business needs.”

Datto is a channel-only vendor, making awards based on direct MSP and VAR voting extremely gratifying. Further, 2013 Datto research identifies the top three reasons Partners select Datto solutions are: Tech Support, Ease of Use and Installation, and Reliability.

In 2013, Datto won numerous awards for its support and solutions which speak directly to the VAR voting and feedback.
