Choose Acronis if

MSPs and IT teams that want backup, disaster recovery and endpoint security in one platform, and users who need reliable disk images.

  • One agent and console for backup, security and RMM
  • Mature, reliable disk imaging and cloning
  • Large partner network and global data centers

Look elsewhere if: Users who only need simple unlimited cloud backup (Backblaze) or SaaS-only backup for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace (Afi.ai).

Choose Scalekit if

Engineering teams that ship AI agents acting on users' behalf, or B2B SaaS products that need enterprise SSO and SCIM quickly.

  • Agents act as the requesting user within the scopes that user granted
  • One vendor for app SSO/SCIM and agent tool authorization
  • Free tiers on both AgentKit and SaaSKit, with free dev and staging environments

Look elsewhere if: Consumer apps that only need simple social login, or teams that want a no-code automation tool (Clerk, Zapier).
