Acronis offers significantly more flexibility by enabling backup to various public clouds (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud), as well as private storage options, while Axcient's storage approach is more limited to its own data centers and appliance-based solutions. This flexibility makes Acronis a more adaptable solution, similar to Axcient, but with greater scalability for MSPs needing to store data across multiple environments. Additionally, Acronis' cloud backup capabilities enable better data protection and greater business continuity, giving MSPs a more comprehensive backup strategy compared to Axcient's offerings.
