Acronis has been named as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cyber-Recovery 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc #US52040125, October 2025). Acronis believes this prestigious recognition validates its commitment to delivering comprehensive cyberprotection solutions that unify cybersecurity, data protection and endpoint management into a single platform. Acronis was also named as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape 2023 vendor assessment for this market.
How IDC MarketScape positions vendors
The IDC MarketScape evaluation framework examines vendors across two dimensions:
- Capabilities: This measures a vendor's capabilities and service offerings, as well as how well the vendor aligns with customer needs. IDC looks at factors such as functionality, portfolio benefits, service offerings, pricing models and technical support capabilities.
- Strategies: This dimension assesses how well positioned a vendor's future strategy is to meet customer requirements over the next three to five years. IDC examines innovation roadmaps, R&D investment, product development pace, market differentiation strategies and consulting offerings.
Acronis believes this IDC MarketScape recognition reinforces the position of Acronis as a cyberprotection innovator. It is the latest in a series of accolades from analysts and industry experts, including recognition from Frost & Sullivan, Canalys, DCIG and Info-Tech.
Acronis strengths
The IDC MarketScape recognized Acronis for the following strengths:
Unified data protection and security: Acronis provides a natively integrated platform where backup and recovery, endpoint protection, and threat defense coexist within a single console and agent. This reduces operational friction and accelerates incident response, which is especially important in ransomware scenarios.
Integrated AI and automation: The cyber-recovery solution leverages AI across malware detection, behavioral analytics, backup validation, endpoint anomaly detection, and security incident interpretation. Automated and AI-guided response playbooks help minimize manual triage, even across thousands of endpoints.
Extensive ecosystem and multicloud support: Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has broad integration options with support for major public clouds, popular hypervisors, legacy and modern OSs, and 300+ technology partners. The multitenant architecture is attractive to MSPs and large enterprises with distributed IT.
Operational technology (OT) resilience: Acronis distinguishes itself through its purposeful support for industrial environments. It can protect legacy PC OS versions that vendors no longer support but are still widely used in industrial settings such as Windows XP and Linux 2.6.9. It does not need a cloud connection to run, making it suitable for air-gapped environments, and it features simple one-click recovery suitable for plant operators with little or no IT skill.
