Acronis

What Acronis does

Acronis is a Switzerland-headquartered, privately held cyber protection company founded in 2003 that unifies cybersecurity, data backup, disaster recovery, and endpoint management into a single cloud-native platform, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, sold exclusively through a channel-first network of more than 21,000 managed service providers (MSPs), value-added resellers, and distributors across 150+ countries. The platform's underlying architecture — one agent, one console, one license — is built on a cloud-native stack that supports over 20 workload types across physical, virtual, cloud, SaaS, and OT environments, with proprietary components including the Acronis AnyData Engine (universal backup/recovery), Universal Restore (dissimilar hardware and legacy OS support from Windows XP through Windows 11), Acronis Active Protection (AI-driven anti-ransomware with claimed 100% accuracy and zero false positives), and an integrated suite of EDR/XDR/MDR, GenAI Protection, RMM, PSA, email security, and patch management modules. The May 2026 launch of Acronis Cyber Frame extends the platform into hyperconverged infrastructure and IaaS via Virtuozzo on OpenStack/KVM, while Acronis Archival Storage (Seagate Lyve Cloud partnership) and Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU address long-term retention and 24/7 managed detection and response respectively.

The company generates revenue primarily through recurring subscription fees from the Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud platform sold per-workload or per-seat to MSPs, supplemented by perpetual and subscription licenses for on-premises Acronis Cyber Protect deployments, consumer subscription revenue from Acronis True Image ($79.99–$189.99/yr), and managed-services revenue from MDR. Pricing is quote-based through the partner portal with tiered benefits scaling by partner program level, and the consumer product is sold directly online. Acronis has raised more than $647M across disclosed rounds (2019 Goldman: $147M; 2021 CVC Capital Partners VII: $250M at $2.5B valuation; 2022 BlackRock/Goldman: $250M at $3.5B+ valuation) and operates 50+ global data centers with regional offices across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific. Beyond commercial operations, Acronis holds extensive regulatory certifications (FedRAMP Moderate, DoDIN APL, CMMC Level 2, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, HDS, ANSSI, ENS) and channels demand through its Threat Research Unit threat-intelligence reports, the #TeamUp sports partnership program, and Acronis Academy partner training that certifies 4,000+ partner employees per quarter in 162 countries.

Scale indicators13 records

Expansion highlights8 records

Direct peers

• Veeam Software: Veeam is the closest direct competitor to Acronis in backup, recovery and data protection for virtual, physical and cloud workloads. It serves the same MSP and enterprise customer base with a similar workload-based pricing model and similar integrations with hyperscalers and RMM platforms.
• Rubrik: Rubrik delivers cloud-native data management, backup and ransomware recovery to enterprises and increasingly to MSPs, directly overlapping with Acronis's Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud positioning. Both pitch consolidated cyber-resilience rather than siloed backup, and both sell through per-workload subscriptions.
• Commvault: Commvault is an established enterprise data-protection and cyber-recovery vendor competing head-to-head with Acronis in multi-cloud, hybrid and OT environments. Listed by Telco Magazine in the same top-10 DR providers grouping as Acronis and positioned similarly for regulated, multi-site enterprises.
• Druva: Druva is a 100% SaaS cloud data-protection and cyber-response platform built on AWS that targets the same mid-market and enterprise backup modernization use cases as Acronis. Its subscription-only model and integrations with security tools place it as a direct competitor in MSP and enterprise backup deals.
• Cohesity: Cohesity is a hyperconverged data-platform vendor that consolidates backup, files, object storage and data security — an architectural premise very close to Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's. Targets the same enterprise customers and is increasingly pursuing the MSP channel.
• Kaseya (Datto): Kaseya owns Datto (an Acronis overlap in MSP-focused backup) and the Kaseya RMM/PSA stack. Sells exclusively through MSPs with per-workload pricing comparable to Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud; ranked alongside Acronis in Kaseya's own top-10 server-backup buyer's guide.

Broad incumbents

• CrowdStrike: CrowdStrike is a much larger endpoint-security incumbent whose Falcon platform competes with Acronis EDR/XDR/MDR and increasingly encroaches on backup integrations (Falcon Data Protection). Both vendors pursue the same MSP and mid-market customers and both are recognized by Omdia, IDC and Canalys.
• SentinelOne: SentinelOne is a leading AI-driven endpoint/XDR vendor whose Singularity platform directly competes with Acronis EDR/XDR for the same MSSP and enterprise book of business. Both vendors emphasize AI autonomy, behavioral detection, and Singularity/Acronis Cyber Protect both ship ransomware rollback capabilities.
• Microsoft (Defender, Azure Backup, M365 Backup): Microsoft bundles Defender for Endpoint, Defender for Cloud, Azure Backup and Microsoft 365 Backup across its Azure/M365 install base — the most strategically threatening incumbent to Acronis. Acronis's deep partnership with Microsoft as a CSP and Intune integration is both a distribution channel and a competitive risk if Microsoft deepens native backup/DR.

Emerging players

• NinjaOne: NinjaOne is a fast-growing RMM and endpoint-management vendor built for MSPs, directly overlapping with Acronis RMM and PSA. As NinjaOne expands into patch management, security and backup it increasingly competes for the same MSP wallet as Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.
