ROI

Google Cloud Storage is reliable and efficient but lacks cost-saving benefits compared to Azure, with favorable return on investment.
Sentiment score
7.5
Nasuni users enjoy cost savings, increased productivity, and efficiency from reduced labor, cloud scalability, and improved data management.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni's customer service is praised for responsiveness and professionalism, efficiently solving issues with reliable and knowledgeable support.
For SAP loads, Google provided a specific team, which resulted in good support.
We have self-studied to learn the services.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.8
Google Cloud Storage is highly scalable, allowing easy capacity adjustments and stable performance for both small and large user bases.
Sentiment score
7.3
Nasuni offers scalable, user-friendly data storage, efficiently meeting diverse organizational needs and supporting physical or virtual deployments.
Google Cloud Storage is scalable, but there are limitations.
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
6.6
Google Cloud Storage is reliable and efficient, with high stability and performance ratings, maintaining data integrity globally.
Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
There was no direct experience with any instability during my involvement.
 

Room For Improvement

Google Cloud Storage needs speed, cost improvements, user-friendly management, and enhanced security, integration, capacity, pricing, and data tools.
Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
They cover a broad range of products, which might affect their ability to compete well in certain niches.
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

Enterprise buyers find Google Cloud Storage pricing competitive, citing flexibility and moderate fees, despite occasional cost increases.
Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
Depending on your setup, Google Cloud Storage is economical, especially if you do not need high stability and scalability.
Google Cloud was cheaper compared to AWS and Azure.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
 

Valuable Features

Google Cloud Storage provides scalability, strong security, seamless integration, and flexible features, making it reliable and user-friendly.
Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
The user interface of Google Cloud Storage is easy and consistent across all their products.
We do not experience any disruptions, and the service meets our needs and requirements.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

User interface consistency facilitates seamless project planning and design for specialized tasks
While Google has made efforts to address SAP loads, the company lacks a product specialist focus. They cover a broad range of products, which might affect their ability to compete well in certain niches. Google's strength lies in their adapted approach to specific tasks, as seen with SAP loads. Generally, their focus is widespread.
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.
