The best SentinelOne alternative for MSPs – Acronis Cyber Platform

Acronis provides partners with a unified platform that natively integrates best-of-breed cybersecurity, data protection and management — specifically designed for MSPs.
By comparison, SentinelOne offers purely cybersecurity while also focusing on enterprises and MSSPs, relying heavily on internal SOC teams, that MSPs do not always have the resources to maintain.
The consolidated Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) platform enables MSPs to easily launch, manage and scale services, easily accessible to clients of any size. Moreover, Acronis enables more holistic response to attacks.
At the same time, our MSP-first approach guarantees Acronis service provider partners are always the first to benefit from our flagship solutions and innovations, along with technical, marketing, sales and business support. SentinelOne competes for business with its service provider partners, including MSSPs, by providing MDR services directly to business, while Acronis focuses purely on enabling its partners.
When it comes to cybersecurity and endpoint protection, Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud)’s native integrations empower you to go a step further than any point solution, such as SentinelOne. MSPs are not only able to detect and remediate advanced threats with award-winning EDR and XDR technologies, but also streamline analysis guided by a AI-based attack interpretations and enables to launch a more holistic response — including recovering, rolling-back protected against tampering by adversaries, and closing open security gaps. Moreover, unlike SentinelOne’s solutions, notorious for their high-level of false positives – leading to alert fatigue – Acronis has consistently proven zero-false positives in numerous independent tests.

Acronis Cyber Platform (formerly Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud) is specifically built for MSPs to easily scale across multiple clients with varying requirements and budgets.
Acronis EDR and XDR solutions employ AI-based attack interpretations, reducing technician time spent on analysis to mere minutes without additional costs.
When it comes to responding to threats, Acronis’ native integrations enable you to deliver unmatched business continuity with a single-click response, including not just remediation, but also safe recovery, protection against threat reoccurrence, patching, and remote access for troubleshooting and further investigation. In comparison – SentinelOne offers remediation and rollback, dependent on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copies – vulnerable to nowadays threats, including new forms of ransomware.
In terms of responding to endpoint threats – Acronis offers a more rapid, single-click response.

SentinelOne offers a powerful solutions, but they’re also aimed at highly technical security analysts; in most cases, those analyzing just a single business, rather than multiple clients under an MSP, providing a variety of services, ranging beyond cybersecurity.
We understand that MSP technicians require a streamlined incident analysis process in order to effectively scale their services across multiple clients. That’s why Acronis provides with AI-based interpretations of attacks, mapped to MITRE stages and at no additional cost – enabling you to cut incident analysis times to mere minutes and bring down the overall complexity.

While SentinelOne focuses primarily on isolating incidents and remediating their damage, response capabilities go a step further with Acronis, as we want to ensure true business resilience. Acronis MSP partners are empowered to also recover with built-in recovery and rollback capabilities, protected against threats, unlike SentinelOne’s vulnerable rollbacks, dependent on VSS copies, targeted by new forms of ransomware and nowadays attacks. As part of response - Acronis also enables you to close open vulnerability gaps via patching and troubleshoot issues or investigate further via remote access, protected against attacks.
Moreover, to ensure rapid and holistic response to incidents, Acronis EDR enables you to respond with a single click; just select the actions you want to take and hit the “Remediate entire incident” button.

While SentinelOne focuses on enterprises and MSSPs – both in terms of capabilities and costs, Acronis is known for it’s MSP-first approach – focusing both on accessible product cost, but also on streamlining MSP services via consolidation and innovations, reducing also TCO (total cost of ownership).
The native integrations of cybersecurity with data protection and endpoint monitoring and management / RMM, consolidated in a single platform and agent – also enables MSPs to improve their ROI with up to 60%, compared to delivering these services via point solutions with singular focus – such as SentinelOne.
