Assumptions:
  • Based on a typical MSP environment — 150 VMs, 300 endpoints, 200 Microsoft 365 users.
  • Acronis pricing based on published list rates including Cyber Protect Cloud licensing, proprietary cloud storage, and advanced add-ons.
  • BDRShield pricing reflects 3-year subscription list rates, which already include long-term discounts. MSPs receive exclusive partner pricing, and businesses receive additional multi-year and volume-based discounts—further reducing TCO.
  • Training costs assume optional certifications for Acronis staff and Implementation costs reflect complexity differences
  • Cloud storage costs vary by region and usage patterns; Acronis includes 250 GB base storage and unlimited M365 storage. Some Acronis users report unexpected data growth in backups that can increase storage costs
Why MSPs Are Leaving Acronis

Acronis Pricing & Licensing Model Is Too Complex for MSPs

01

Licensing So Complex It Costs You Time

Acronis’s multiple pricing models and tiers mean every new client engagement requires a licensing exercise before you can even quote. MSP technicians spend hours managing the vendor instead of serving clients.
✔ BDRShield: One Edition, Per-workload pricing. Quote any client in minutes.
02

Add-ons & Hidden Costs

Acronis pricing often requires multiple add-ons for capabilities MSPs consider essential. Costs can increase over time through overages and bundled features—making long-term pricing harder to predict and control.
✔ BDRShield: Transparent, Predictable pricing—no add-ons or hidden fees
03

Support That Doesn’t Move Fast Enough

MSPs consistently report slow resolution times for complex DR cases with Acronis. When a client’s recovery is on the line, a ticket queue is not the support model you can afford to rely on.
✔ BDRShield: 24/7 dedicated MSP support — not a ticket queue.
Why MSPs Choose BDRShield

The Simpler, More Profitable Alternative to Acronis.

Simple Pricing Model

One straightforward rate per workload type — Endpoints, Servers, M365/GWS Users, VMs and Cloud. One edition for all, No add-on tiers. Quoting clients becomes simple and margins become predictable.
✗ Acronis: Multiple models, tiers & paid add-ons
✔ BDRShield: Per-workload — simple & flat

No Long-Term Contract. Ever

When a client churns, you stop paying. Month-to-month flexibility means your BDR costs track your actual managed seats — not a contract you signed months ago.
✗ Acronis: Minimum commitment required
✔ BDRShield: Cancel any time, no penalty

Multi-Tenant Console Built for MSPs

Manage every client’s backup & DR from one unified multi-tenant console. Built for MSP operations from day one.
✗ Acronis: High onboarding time

✗ Acronis: Complex UI
✔ BDRShield: MSP-Friendly Platform

What MSPs Are Saying

Real MSPs. Real Savings. Real Margin Impact.

Klauber Walz Rocha

CTO

“I previously used Veeam but it was more expensive, complicated, and less resourceful than
BDRSuite.”

Chris B

IT Manager

“After switching from VEEAM, I found BDRSuite much easier to use and set up. The support team have been extremely helpful with any questions I’ ve had.”

Ralph B

IT Administrator

“For us, it was a thing between usability and pricing. We tried different vendors like Iperius Backup and Veeam, but they were not like Vembu.”

Tom C

MSP

“We have been migrating clients from VEEAM to Vembu at a steady rate. Vembu has a consistent and affordable price point versus the ridiculous scaling costs of other solutions on the market.”

Isaac K

Network Engineer

“We previously used Veeam, and we made the switch due to the change in their licensing. They don’t do perpetual licensing anymore. They ‘ re going to a subscription-based model, which doesn’t fit with our business model.”

Jesse Brandt

System Administrator

“I tested Vembu against Veeam and for the price, Vembu was the better option. I also had a great support experience… While using Veeam the software was not as intuitive and support responses were not as swift and accurate.”

Tony Ashvanian

Boom Logic

“I don’t think any platform can beat BDRSuite’s pricing. The cost is much lower than paying thousands per month for Datto, Kaseya, or Veeam.”
