Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
6.5
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery offers cost-effective solutions with seamless integration, though snapshot storage costs may challenge smaller businesses.
Sentiment score
7.5
Nasuni users enjoy cost savings, increased productivity, and efficiency from reduced labor, cloud scalability, and improved data management.
However, with AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Service being a native service, integration is seamless, highlighting the return on investment.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.0
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery support is praised for responsiveness, effectiveness, and enterprise-level assistance, though a formal ticket system is desired.
Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni's customer service is praised for responsiveness and professionalism, efficiently solving issues with reliable and knowledgeable support.
In case of any issue, they are ready to provide support within the defined SLA timeline.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is highly scalable, with efficient automation, easy upgrades, and strong user confidence in its scalability.
Sentiment score
7.3
Nasuni offers scalable, user-friendly data storage, efficiently meeting diverse organizational needs and supporting physical or virtual deployments.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is reliable, though dependent on bandwidth, with occasional agent resets on Linux and cost concerns.
Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
It is very good and very reliable.
AWS is not difficult, but the cost associated with replicating data to another region can be significant.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery needs automation, integration, cost optimization, user enhancements, and improved documentation for better efficiency and user-friendliness.
Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
This would detail user activity directly in the ACL console for easier debugging and auditing.
In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status.
I suggest Nasuni improve their syslog forwarders to support TCP protocol, as it's more secure than UDP, which is plain text and not protected at all.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as fair value with cost-saving options, though cumulative and alternative costs should be evaluated.
Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
 

Valuable Features

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery provides cost-effective, scalable data protection and seamless integration, enhancing reliability, flexibility, and ease of deployment.
Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Service is a native service, integration is seamless.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
Barry Sunanan - PeerSpot reviewer
It helped us save 40 to 45 percent on some types of data
It can provide a 360-degree view of your data, depending on how you implement it and whether you're storing your data in Nasuni. However, if you're working with multiple cloud providers, I don't think it's mature enough to provide a 360-degree view of what's in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I think it can do it, but it's still a lot of scope and range fitting. Given that Nasuni storage is actually cheaper in some areas, it made sense for us to move a lot of our data away from Microsoft. Nasuni gave us more of a 360 view of that particular data type. Other data types are a little different because the company went in a direction where they wanted to store some stuff in an AWS S3 bucket rather than a file storage system. An S3 bucket has its advantages, but if you were to store more of your data in Nasuni, you would get a wider 360-degree view of it rather than on several cloud providers. I have data in AWS, Google, and Azure, and I would like to see a wider view of all the data stored across these three top providers. Currently, I use it for AWS and Azure, but I couldn't use both of them at the same time. I think Nasuni could have better visibility across these different areas. I had to take my data out and then do some analysis to get the costs. It would be helpful to have more built-in analytics tools to compare the storage costs between the various cloud providers. I would also like some graphing capabilities. We had a tool called Grafana that we used for graphing. I think some more visual analytics like that would be nice.
