Many traditional awards focus solely on technical features or market share, but the Emotional Footprint Award is based on direct feedback from real users. It measures the **emotional sentiment** users have towards a product and its vendor, providing a look at how the software impacts their daily work and overall satisfaction. Analyst firm Info-Tech Research Group determines winners by analyzing user responses across a range of emotional metrics, including trustworthiness, reliability, effectiveness and the vendor’s ability to deliver on promises. The result is a Net Emotional Footprint score, which reflects the overall emotional connection users feel with the product. ## Why did Acronis win for EDR? [Acronis EDR](https://www.acronis.com/en/products/cloud/cyber-protect/security-edr/), part of the Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) MSP cybersecurity platform, stood out in a crowded field. The win is a testament to Acronis’ commitment to: * **Delivering advanced cyber protection** in a natively integrated platform that enables MSP technicians to increase efficiency. * **Integrating cybersecurity and data protection** into a unified platform with a single interface, making it easier for MSPs to manage and secure client environments. * **Providing unique features** such as AI-assisted scripting and automated patching, which enhance protection and boost technician productivity. Survey respondents consistently praised Acronis EDR for its reliability and ease of use, as well as the tangible value it brings to their organizations. Those positive sentiments translated into a top-tier Net Emotional Footprint score, securing Acronis’ place as one of just three Champions in the EDR category from a field of 15. ![Image 4: Another Acronis award in 2025: Info-Tech SoftwareReviews Emotional Footprint Award for EDR](https://staticfiles.acronis.com/images/content/896b817e0454996f39fbbefef648e694.png) ## What does this win mean for MSPs?
