HYCU Named a Leader in the 2025–2026 IDC MarketScape for SaaS Data Protection

We're honored to share that HYCU has been named a Leader in the recently published IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SaaS Data Protection 2025–2026 Vendor Assessment, an evaluation of six prominent SaaS data protection vendors across the globe.

We believe this recognition reflects the momentum behind our mission: to make data protection simple, scalable, and purpose-built for SaaS, without trade-offs.

What IDC MarketScape Had to Say About HYCU

The IDC MarketScape  evaluation highlights the following strengths for HYCU:

🔹 Breadth of SaaS coverage
 HYCU supports a large number of SaaS applications, including coverage for mainstream business applications, such as M365, Salesforce, and Google Workspace, and more niche DevOps applications. Deep, API-level integration allows for object-level recovery, with rapid connector development via AI and low-code frameworks.

🔹 Rapid SaaS application integration
HYCU's proprietary backup development framework enables fast development of new SaaS integrations. This allows quick responses to customer demands.

🔹 Full data sovereignty and control 
For SaaS application data backup storage, HYCU uses a bring-your-own-storage (BYOS) model, ensuring all backup data remains fully under customer control. HYCU does not store or touch customer data, enabling compliance with strict data residency, privacy, and sovereignty requirements.

🔹 Fully offline and readable back up data
SaaS application data is readable even if the SaaS provider is down, allowing some measure of continued operation and functionality. This also enables failover to an available region in the case of a SaaS application only being partially unavailable.

Why We Believe It Matters

SaaS adoption is accelerating, and so are the risks. According to the IDC MarketScape, “IDC research found that for SaaS application data protection, most organizations use native tools from SaaS vendors. These tools often have limitations or require an additional license to unlock premium data protection capabilities.” 

This is where we believe HYCU differentiates itself.

We don’t just check the box on backup. We give organizations:

• A single platform to protect over 90 as-a-service workloads
• A no-code Marketplace to extend protection across new apps
• Full visibility with HYCU R-Graph, so you always know what’s protected, and what’s not
• Data resilience by design, built for cloud, SaaS, and IT teams who own their data strategy
