G2 is a popular and trusted marketplace for software buyers, sellers and service providers.

A proprietary algorithm produces the G2 Score, which G2 uses to compare products within a given category.

Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) earned a G2 Score of 4.7 out of 5, strong enough to place the natively integrated cybersecurity solution first in best server backup software, best SaaS backup software and best cloud data security software.

And for cloud data security software, a solution must:

• Provide confidentiality functionality to encrypt or mask data.
