ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Datto Workplace holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Datto Workplace has 1K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Viewpoint Field Management™'s written reviews are positive against 14% of Datto Workplace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Viewpoint Field Management™ ships an update every 5 weeks, Datto Workplace every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
