Axcient x360 — MSP-exclusive BCDR and cloud backup platform for SMBs.
Axcient sells exclusively through Managed Service Providers, not directly to end users — making the DB's '$49/month' entry price misleading (it's actually $49/TB/mo for storage licensing, one of three billing models). The platform bundles x360Recover (BCDR), x360Cloud (M365/Google Workspace backup), and x360Sync (file sync) under one vendor, with standout features like Chain-Free backups, AirGap ransomware isolation, and AutoVerify screenshot-based restore testing. The DB 'free_trial' price tier is also a mislabel — Axcient requires a partner relationship and custom quote with no public free tier.
Axcient's Chain-Free architecture eliminates the long-chain backup corruption risk that plagues legacy BDR tools. AutoVerify runs automated, screenshot-confirmed restore tests continuously — not just on demand — which is a meaningful differentiator for MSPs who need audit-ready recovery assurance. The pooled storage model also prevents the per-device cost blowup common at scale.
Axcient is MSP-only — end customers cannot buy or manage it directly. Pricing is opaque and negotiated, hardware appliance costs add up fast, and the platform's depth means onboarding has a real learning curve.
