Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) has been named a Leader in the G2 Summer 2026 Grid® Report for Managed Detection and Response (MDR), ranking #2 in the category. The recognition reflects strong customer validation for Acronis’ integrated approach to cyber protection, helping MSPs and IT teams strengthen threat detection, accelerate response and maintain business continuity through a single platform.
Why do MSPs value integrated MDR capabilities?
MDR is most effective when detection and response are connected to the operational reality of the customer environment. MSPs need visibility, alerting, escalation paths and recovery options that can be managed consistently across many clients. Customers value Acronis' MDR solution because it reduces tool sprawl and connects security workflows with backup, endpoint management and business continuity. The Summer 2026 report shows strong satisfaction across ease of use, ease of administration, ease of setup and ease of doing business. The high recommendation rate and positive customer sentiment suggest that Acronis is valued not only for security outcomes, but also for the way it simplifies delivery for service providers.
What customers are saying
“The addition of features like EDR, XDR and MDR solutions along with RMM is a wonderful thing. Acronis is the only solution covering almost all the aspects of cybersecurity in a single console.” said a Senior manager in small business segment.
“Key benefits include comprehensive protection across backup, disaster recovery, AI-based malware protection, remote assistance, and security. Centralized management makes it easier for IT teams to handle backups and security tasks from one console, while the AI-enhanced features strengthen ransomware protection and improve malware detection.” said a Verified user in enterprise segment.
“Acronis Cyber Cloud is the best BACKUP tool I have ever worked on, together with data protection it helps with anti-malware as well, all managed from a single, intuitive dashboard, with AI Threat detection, automatic patching, and rapid recovery capabilities.” said a Presales system engineer in midmarket segment.
“The fact that this advanced malware protection is natively integrated with backup and endpoint management in a single agent makes it incredibly efficient for our daily security operations and incident response.” said an IT analyst in small business segment.
Why this matters for service providers and IT teams
As cyberthreats become more advanced and persistent, organizations need more than alerts. They need 24/7 detection, expert-led response and the ability to recover quickly when incidents affect users, systems or data. Acronis MDR helps address that need by combining managed threat detection and response with the broader protection, backup and recovery capabilities available through Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud).
