Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Google, Nasuni and others in Cloud Storage."The way the tool is designed and using the tool itself is quite transparent."
"The user interface is very user-friendly."
"Dropbox allows me to organize files well. I can name files in such a way as to lead students to the right destination."
"We don't really use the collaboration features because we have only a small organization. Dropbox is valuable having the hard drive space available, and the access to be able to upload and access the content."
"Its usability is valuable. It is easy to use."
"It is the best solution in terms of space, file sharing, and live editing. I can share and edit files with multiple users."
"It offers security, accessibility, and user-friendly features."
"The various methods for accessing files, such as through mobile apps, online synchronization, and on a PC, are highly valuable."
"In terms of its storage snapshot efficiencies, the service is highly efficient. We are only doing things in small batches right now because we have not converted all of the data, but we have tested them in the Google Cloud and they work efficiently."
"Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero. I was personally running all the infrastructure for the company. Now that we've moved to NetApp, I don't have to worry about making sure it's up and running. It's made my life personally much better."
"High availability is very important to us because we have a production environment. High availability is the highest priority for us to continue keeping our systems running."
"I would like to see integration with Office products, it would be very helpful."
"Security could be enhanced."
"A room for improvement in Dropbox is document editing. It would be nice to have the functionality of editing the document with other people at the same time. This is something that can be done on Office 365, and it's a feature I'd like to see in the next release of Dropbox."
"The search could be made more intuitive."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"I'd like to see security improved a bit."
"The Security and privacy of this solution need improvement."
"It could be more secure."
"I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features. So it would be nice if I heard a little bit more from him. From a technology perspective, I have no complaints."
"It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those. They're not using any AI tools, currently, on the administrative side."
"The user interface has room for improvement. We would like this service to be more integrated with Azure, which is very easy to manage and use. It was easy to create volumes and add capacity pools in Azure, but in Google Cloud, we can only create separate volumes. We need more management or configuration options in the user interface."
