IDC names Acronis as a Leader in the 2025 MarketScape for worldwide cyber recovery

Analyst firm IDC recognized Acronis as a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Cyber Recovery. This prestigious recognition validates Acronis’ commitment to delivering comprehensive cyber protection solutions that unify cybersecurity, data protection and endpoint management into a single platform. IDC also recognized Acronis as a Leader in its last report in 2023.

The IDC MarketScape evaluation framework examines vendors across two dimensions:

1. 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.

1. 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.

IDC scores vendors on a 5-point scale across multiple criteria. Leaders demonstrate both strong current capabilities and forward-looking strategies that align with evolving market demands.

This IDC MarketScape recognition reinforces the position of Acronis as a cyber protection 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.

IDC's analysis highlighted several key strengths that distinguish Acronis Cyber Protect and Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud in the cyber recovery landscape:

The Acronis platform stands out with native integration, which  combines backup, disaster recovery, cybersecurity and endpoint management into a single console and point of control. This unified approach enables MSPs and enterprises to simplify operations and accelerate incident response.

IDC found that Acronis platforms use artificial intelligence to enhance capabilities in multiple domains, including malware detection, behavioral analytics, backup validation, endpoint anomaly detection and security incident interpretation. Automated and AI-guided response playbooks minimize manual intervention, enabling organizations to manage security across thousands of endpoints efficiently.

With integrations for over 300 third-party platforms, Acronis seamlessly integrates with major public clouds (Azure, Google Cloud, AWS), popular hypervisors, RMM and SIEM solutions, and leading security tools. IDC found that the Acronis multitenant architecture delivers value to managed serviced providers (MSPs) and enterprises with distributed IT environments.

IDC determined that Acronis Cyber Protect uniquely addresses the needs of industrial environments by supporting legacy operating systems like Windows XP and Linux 2.6.9 that are still widely deployed in manufacturing and critical infrastructure. The Acronis platform functions effectively in air-gapped environments without requiring cloud connectivity. Simple one-click recovery enables non-IT employees with no expertise to rapidly restore systems after an incident.

Organizations need comprehensive cyber protection that enables them to detect, prevent and rapidly recover from sophisticated attacks. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud, for MSPs, and Acronis Cyber Protect, for businesses, address this challenge by eliminating the complexity of managing multiple tools. Acronis offers MSPs and IT departments a unified platform with a variety of solutions manageable from a single location.
