Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“The Best All-Rounder: Acronis Cyber Protect ... widely regarded as the best choice for mid-sized businesses” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Backup and DR · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Acronis stands out for its comprehensive compliance and cyber-protection features” Mistral Small · Backup and DR · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Veeam Data Platform and Acronis Cyber Protect are top contenders” Mistral Small · Backup and DR · direct prompt · first choice
“Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud \u2013 best if you want backup + endpoint security in one platform” Muse Glimmer 30B · Backup and DR · paraphrase prompt · alternative
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Caution level: Medium-High. If you must use it, allocate ample time for testing, and keep a secondary backup copy independent of Acronis.” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Backup and DR · negative prompt · soft negative
“Sophos Endpoint, Acronis Cyber Protect, and Symantec all have reports of slow performance on older systems” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Endpoint protection · negative prompt · soft negative
“primarily focused on backup and disaster recovery rather than full business continuity management” Mistral Small · Business continuity · negative prompt · soft negative
“I'm not citing a current official page for this because the product lineup changes often” GPT-5.4 mini · Backup and DR · comparative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page acronis.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person. Read September 29, 2026.
