Over four years of daily use.
What do you like best about the product?
It mostly just works. Highly responsive and knowlegable support staff. The best way we've found to manage fileshares in the cloud. One of the most grainular snapshot systems around. I don't worry about backups anymore.
What do you dislike about the product?
After over four years of use there are a few things that could be improved with the UI. I could get into the weeds discussing this (and have with their sales engineers) but none of it is a show stopper. It does take a lot of CPU and Memory, also you have to use SSDs to get full performance out of it. But if you size your server correctly, it will perform well. Figure you'll want something like a Dell R750 with SSD RAID for each filer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having power & cooling sucking SANs on-site. Having to deal with backups and restores. All those SANs need maintaince contracts, the backup software needs to be kept current. With Nasuni all our data is safely off-site and in a DR situation it can be made available at another site within minutes. Since moving to Nasuni I've decommissioned hundreds of hard drives.

Centralized management solution for your data needs
What do you like best about the product?
The best way Nasuni helped us is it rediced a lot of man effort for our IT team to manage different forms of data accross different storage vendors and public clould.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well the management of data using Nasuni is easy but there is not enough talent available in the market to manage this independently. We have to rely on Nusani support on multiple ocations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nasuni helped us managed data accoss multiple platforms as we have data scattered across muliple locations and storage solution of different OEMs, before Nasuni managing this was a hell of a task.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had a large on premise storage environment ~50TB, and wanted to move this to the Cloud with an On-Premise footprint, this does a perfect job
Nice product but not open for small scale companies
What do you like best about the product?
I was using Nasuni in my previous organisation. it is simply superb. I was part of the Nasuni Deployment team where we had to plan and deploy fhe solution. We have migrated 70TB of data on Nasuni. Nasuni including file storage, backup, ransomware protection, and file access for hybrid workers. The Nasuni File Data Platform is a cloud-native replacement for traditional network-attached storage (NAS) and file server infrastructure, but with many more advanced capabilities. Nasuni consolidates file data in easily expandable, highly-durable object storage such as Azure Blob at a fraction of the cost of on-premises or other cloud solutions. The Nasuni approach to data services creates a scalable, innovative platform for digital acceleration, business growth, and data insights previously unachievable.
What do you dislike about the product?
main dislike about Nasuni is, Support is not much helpful and there criteria is that, need to buy minimum of 20TB storage license even if you do not have that much data. Due to this, small scale companies do not afford this solution. we were planning to have in my current org. as well. but due to costings and excess data license issue. we have dropped to implement this in current org.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nasuni customers benefit from all that it offers.
1.Simplified global infrastructure for multi-site management and scalability.
2. Always-on business continuity with data protection & ransomware recovery.
3.Optimized user productivity using global file sharing & remote access.
4. Game-changing business insights with data intelligence.
5. Cloud provider choice and multi-cloud portability.
6. global file locking feature. if file is opened by user1 same file cannot be opened by another user at the same time. it is very helpful feature when there is multisite environment.

Simplified our storage needs into one easy to manage package
What do you like best about the product?
We took our aging file infrastructure and wrapped it up into one excellent little package. With one physical appliance we had fast access for our users for hot files, copy in the cloud for backup, and unlimited versioning. Backup, ransomware protection, upgrades, and DR though one solution!
What do you dislike about the product?
File auditing logs are not the easiest to search through. The initial capital outlay might be a little high for some.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nasuni was able to solve our aging file storage infrastructure completely. One-stop shop for file access, ransomware, DR, etc. No more worrying about the storage being offline, crashing, or running out of space.
The all inclusive file collaboration platform
What do you like best about the product?
Nasuni as a cloud hybrid global filesystem supports people in the office, across branches as well as mobile workers to collaborate on an unlimited amount of files, unlimited in size. Additionally, through its web access with Nasuni access anywhere, it allows to also collaborate with business partners and customers without security flaws, even within Microsoft Teams. It protects your content from getting lost or encrypted and helps you to restore from accidental deletion or on-site desaster within minutes. All in all one of the best decisions we ever made.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nasuni - although having access to all data as absolution - still behaves as a storage vendor while it could become a data analytics tool that helps to manage, search, learn and create new data from existing data. It also could leverage AIOps thinking to optimize the cloud infrastructure of customers by detailed analysis of connection and traffic data. That said - I feel this opportunity is already seen at Nasuni and visible trends point into the right direction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our virtual file servers behave like a smart swarm of servers, all managed by the Nasuni management console. Each server has access to the whole dataset from the encrypted cloud backend and since we are doing 10 minute snapshots of everything, nothing can ever get lost. Workers enjoy the 3-30seconds it takes for new or changed content to appear on all our locations so that collaboration between locations has become very easy and desaster recovery is done in minutes regardless of size.
Simplifies file management at scale
What do you like best about the product?
The Nasuni platform has removed a large operational overhead from our IT operations team in having to manage multiple distributed file servers and centralised file storage SANs. The simple centralised management model allows our operations team to focus their time on business value objectives with minimal capacity or resiliency activities needed to maintain a large unstructured file service for our business. The company has a good engagement model with customers, user communities and events to share experiences and gather feedback. This is seen with strong roadmaps that actually deliver on features we want to see. The support has been extremely good from first point of contact through to resolution.
What do you dislike about the product?
For us, onboarding our legacy file data was challenging a few years ago. This was related more towards the quality of our data sets. These needed to be cleaned ahead of migration. The platform is better at handling these today and more recent migrations have gone smoothly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our unstructured file data was growing at a high rate. We faced multiple challenges in scaling storage in time and where it was needed to meet business needs. The Nasuni platform allow sus to centrally manage storage and using the caching system, physical capacity planning is minimal now.
Awesome technology for supporting a collaborative and resilient environment.
What do you like best about the product?
Nasuni has allowed us to build a very disperse (> 160 sites) but yet collaborative and resilient environment. Setting up cross office or cross company collaborative shares is straight forward and quick. Also Nasuni allows us to create "partner" filers in our data center that serve as fail-over sites in case something happens to the remote office. Data is synced at a fairly quick pace (every 5 minutes or so) and so if a local filer goes offline, the employees can still access their data from the partner filer and have their most recent data available to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nasuni is not a real-time replication technology. There is a bit of a delay for a new file saved in one location to show up in another. But that can be mitigated with employee education and setting realistic expectations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nasuni made it possible to decommission our traditional file backup strategy and expense. We no longer need tapes or additional cloud storage capabilities to secure our unstructured data. It also enabled us to maximize our cross office and cross company collaboration efforts - letting us virtually share the same set of files in multiple locations. That way the employees in an office in Anaheim can share files with an office in Orlando, each working on them at local network speeds. And with Nasuni Global File Locking in place, it insures we don't have collisions when working on that same set of files.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Work with the implementation team at Nasuni, be sure to design your file shares to take advantage of global file locking where you need it and talk to others in the Nasuni community about tips and tricks you can leverage.
Nasuni DBase review
What do you like best about the product?
It delivers a great data handling capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
The database query systems is slower and needs faster access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped up storing and analyzing large data sets for machine learning algorithms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try for faster data access algorithms
Flexible storage for file consolidation
What do you like best about the product?
We bought Nasuni to provide file auditing and disaster recovery. We primarily use it for enterprise file storage over SMB and it works very well for that. The NMC makes maintenance tasks, including frequent upgrades, easy to manage and maintain. In addition, we use pinning to keep specific data on filers to ensure quick access for frequently changed files and folders.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Nasuni Management Console does some things very well, but has some oddities. For example, when a filer is deployed you can select what shares to make available. After deploying the filer, adding shares to filers is an onerous task: administrators must add the share to each individual filer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Maintaining file servers for each remote office was causing access issues for users.
2. Disaster recovery for critical company files was, in a word, lacking.
3. We needed frequent backups of files for recovery at a point-in-time - rather than once every 12 or 24 hours.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nasuni is not cheap. Your business may be able to adequately address their needs with other products. We were in a position where the feature set was easily justifiable given the expressed needs of the executive team.
