Veeam vs Acronis

One agent, one console — Acronis.
Extra add-ons — Veeam.

Acronis gives MSPs one agent, one console, and one invoice for backup, storage, disaster recovery, endpoint management, and security. It protects 30+ workload types, pushes patches, and scans backups for malware and recoverability. Veeam needs extra tools for endpoint security, patching, and cloud storage, plus a second MSP console. That means more vendors to track, more tabs to watch and more support hours.

The differences that matter

AcronisAcronis

Integrated security

MSP engineers hate running separate AV, patch, and backup stacks. Acronis integrates real-time anti-malware, ransomware protection, patching, backup, and disaster recovery (DR) into a single agent, console, and policy, allowing you to deploy once and monitor from a single screen. That shrinks the attack surface and frees billable hours.

Veeam only scans data after it is written to backup. There is no live, integrated endpoint defense, so you must add third-party AV/EDR and maintain a second dashboard.

Built for MSPs

Acronis comes with multitenancy, role-based access, full white-labeling, and PSA/RMM hooks out of the box. One portal provides visibility into every client, service, and usage report, reducing admin overhead and streamlining onboarding.

Partners must set up a separate “Service Provider Console” and extra servers just to get multitenancy. Branding is limited, and tool sprawl returns if you add security or DR modules.

Storage management

You choose: local disks, any S3 bucket, or 50+ vendor-run Acronis data centers that include geo-redundant, immutable tiers for reliable and compliant recovery. No hardware spend and data-sovereignty boxes get ticked.

Veeam’s new Data Cloud Vault is Azure-only. For anything else you build and bill the storage yourself or bolt on third-party clouds, adding cost and risk.

Workload support

One SaaS console protects 30+ workloads, from VMware and Microsoft 365 to iOS phones and 2008-era Windows servers, so MSPs can cover every oddball device without extra agents or licenses.

Core coverage is strong for enterprise apps, but there is no mobile or legacy OS support; partners must manage extra products for those endpoints.

Compliance

Built-in FIPS 140-2 crypto, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR and object-lock immutability help MSPs sell into regulated verticals without third-party tools. Automated reports show which data is protected and where it lives.

Fewer native certifications mean more audit paperwork, and true immutability depends on using an external storage target that supports it.

Recovery & ransomware resilience

Acronis Instant Restore boots a failed Windows or Linux workload directly from the backup storage in seconds, and scans for malware, tagging the last clean backup before it re-enters production. Active Protection blocks encryption on the endpoint. One-click recovery enables effortless, simultaneous mass restoration of thousands of endpoints.

Instant VM recovery is there, but safe restore needs extra scripts, and you still rely on outside AV to be sure the image is clean. Complete recovery of large setups can take weeks.

Cost & billing simplicity

Acronis runs on pay-as-you-go pricing: one license, one bill that already covers backup, security, and cloud storage options. That makes margin forecasting easy and reduces vendor management.

Backup, AV, RMM, and third-party cloud storage each carry a separate invoice, so MSP margin math gets messy fast.
