Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Nasuni offers scalable, user-friendly data storage, efficiently meeting diverse organizational needs and supporting physical or virtual deployments.
The scalability of HPE StoreOnce is very good.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.

HPE StoreOnce is highly stable, with resolved issues and excellent integration, earning high user ratings for reliability.
Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
 

Room For Improvement

HPE StoreOnce needs better deduplication, integration, and security alongside improved performance, user interface, support, and cost efficiency.
Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.
While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring.
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

HPE StoreOnce pricing is competitive but seen as high with mixed satisfaction, influencing its perceived value against competitors.
Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
The solution is quite expensive, possibly rated around seven and a half on a scale of one to ten.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
 

Valuable Features

HPE StoreOnce excels in deduplication, improving storage efficiency, backup speeds, and integration, offering flexible, cost-effective data management.
Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

Removes a lot of infrastructure, allows us to restore files instantly, and is simple to work with
I particularly like the restore process. Our financial teams make changes to spreadsheets and other files, and we've got teams using Photoshop files. They make mistakes and need to recover files, and we can do that instantly. We also have users who manage to delete folders, and we can bring them back instantly within a few seconds. Knowing that it's all protected from ransomware is also a very big advantage at the moment with the number of ransomware attacks that you see out there. Nasuni is being very protective of that, which is quite good to hear. There were times when we had to replace the filers we've had issues with, and because we know all our data is protected in AWS, we could just turn them off and spin them up. As quickly as in an hour or so, we were back working with zero downtime. That area of functionality is really good. In terms of ease of management, it's the easiest one you can use. It's very simple. It's very easy to set up, very easy to configure, and very easy to manage.
