Scalability Issues

Sentiment score

Google Workspace offers seamless scalability, with easy expansion for all organization sizes and minimal maintenance due to its cloud-based nature.
Sentiment score
6.9
Nasuni offers scalable, user-friendly data storage, efficiently meeting diverse organizational needs and supporting physical or virtual deployments.
It supports around 2,500 users in our company, and this scalability assists us in maintaining our infrastructure.
Technical Manager IT Development at Sostenia
I believe Google Workspace will have really high scalability because there are a lot of features available, and they have the potential to be used.
Brand Protection Analyst at Corsearch
Scalability involves another configuration with a new email configuration, involving some authentication issues with Microsoft Outlook.
IT Manager at Universal Carpets & Rugs
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
7.7
Google Workspace is praised for its stability and reliability, with minor glitches but no significant downtime, affecting user experience.
Sentiment score
8.1
Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
This stability is crucial to us because it ensures we do not lose communication or connection while using messaging and accessing files.
Technical Manager IT Development at Sostenia
The stability of Google Workspace is excellent and very solid.
Principal Consultant at Wipro Limited
With Microsoft now that we are using, we have a security system by which every now and then you have to change your password, and whenever you try to access multiple times to the same email from different devices or many times in the same day, they will ask you for a code that you have to insert.
Assosiate Professor at Palazzo del Mediterraneo
 

Room For Improvement

Google Workspace needs better security, Microsoft integration, usability improvements, and enhanced features compared to competitors like Zoom and Teams.
Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
The new integration was implemented last September, and we are facing some issues with OAuth 2.0 authentication.
IT Manager at Universal Carpets & Rugs
It would be great if Google Workspace had its own application built into the PC or a desktop application.
Brand Protection Analyst at Corsearch
The security functionalities are similar to those in competitors like Active Directory, but they could be optimized for stronger security features.
Technical Manager IT Development at Sostenia
I would improve Nasuni by addressing the performance issues we sometimes face on the base file share, which must be fixed.
Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.
Infrastructure Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
The purging time is very slow.
Cloud Architect at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Google Workspace costs $6-$15 per user monthly; perceived as cost-effective yet sometimes costly, with potential discounts and additional fees.
Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
The current cost is approximately seven to ten euros per user per month.
Technical Manager IT Development at Sostenia
The company is moving the data and the Microsoft subscription is no longer continued.
Brand Protection Analyst at Corsearch
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
Infrastructure Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
I find Nasuni's pricing to be competitive with other vendors, especially when comparing it with NetApp or EMC.

Valuable Features

Google Workspace enables seamless collaboration with real-time editing, robust integration, strong security, and affordability for businesses and organizations.
Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
The ability to share documents with students and assign them things and correct them in real time has been beneficial.
Assosiate Professor at Palazzo del Mediterraneo
The valuable features include the email service, email updates, and Google Drive.
IT Manager at Universal Carpets & Rugs
These tools enhance productivity by allowing us to edit the same file at the same time, making collaboration much smoother.
Technical Manager IT Development at Sostenia
The snapshot feature is beneficial because it creates a snapshot every five minutes, allowing me to provide restores very easily to customers.
Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Their backup strategy, as well as their speed of recovery, was amazing.
Cloud Architect at a media company with 1,001-5,000 employees

Collaborative tools have improved team communication and file organization across projects
Before I was in a Microsoft environment, which had its own software that was not website-based. When I moved to Google Workspace, it was not seamless because I have to access it through a web view in the browser. Most of it does not have stable connection because it is based on web view. It would be great if Google Workspace had its own application built into the PC or a desktop application. The operation is a bit different from Microsoft, which makes it difficult for me. For example, with Microsoft, we could easily access the shared mailbox with one URL and have access to it. With Google Workspace, we have to set it up by ourselves inside our own mailbox, which is a bit difficult because of how it operates differently. I think it can be improved more. Currently, guidelines are just in the form of a document that we can read by ourselves. It would be really helpful if the guidelines themselves were built into the environment itself. Since Google Workspace is in web view, maybe that would be possible. That would be more helpful than just reading a document.

Unified cloud file storage has simplified global data management and reduced operational overhead
From an admin perspective, Nasuni has various valuable features. The GUI is very good, upgrading is very easy, and DFS is very easily manageable. Compared with other products, the snapshot feature is beneficial because it creates a snapshot every five minutes, allowing me to provide restores very easily to customers. Data protection is enhanced by the fact that Nasuni uses S3 technology to create snapshots every five minutes and enables versioning, so the snapshot is created and I can utilize that snapshot for disaster recovery or restore purposes. I assess the value of global file locking and caching for reducing latency as good.
