Sentiment score

The response time is good, but resolving some issues can take time due to dependencies on external devices.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Nasuni offers scalable, user-friendly data storage, efficiently meeting diverse organizational needs and supporting physical or virtual deployments.
Sentiment score
5.5
NetVault Plus is praised for scalability and integration, though infrastructure dependency poses challenges and prompts some to consider alternatives.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.
Quest NetVault Plus is highly scalable, rated at an eight.
 

Stability Issues

Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
Sentiment score
4.8
NetVault Plus receives mixed stability reviews, with reliable performance often noted but occasional issues following updates and resource constraints.
There have been very few issues reported in the past year, with only one ticket raised, indicating its reliability.
 

Room For Improvement

Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
NetVault Plus requires improved restore speed, user interface, compatibility, scheduling, security, database support, performance, and development interaction.
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.
Improvements should come, particularly in compatibility, backup performance, or better troubleshooting.
There is also a need for better security measures, as security is critical to ensure backups are safe and free from malware.
NetVault Plus doesn't have a support team in my country; having a local contact in Turkey would be very useful for us.
 

Setup Cost

Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
NetVault Plus pricing varies; it's seen as costly or affordable, offering flexible licensing and potential discounts for multiple purchases.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
The pricing is not expensive, rated around a four in terms of cost.
 

Valuable Features

Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
Quest NetVault Plus provides easy deployment, user-friendly interface, comprehensive database and backup management, reporting, malware scanning, and network control.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.
Quest NetVault Plus supports a wide range of databases such as MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and SAP, offering extensive coverage.
The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business.
The application supports scanning files for malware before backup operations.

Featured Reviews

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.
Cahit Yolacan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported reliable file backup operations and maintained compliance with local data policies
The strong point for me is the tape record feature. The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business. There's no positive impact that NetVault Plus has brought to my company; I mean, there's no particular benefit I have seen from using it. It's just used in general, and another colleague specifically selected NetVault Plus without any problem in Turkey area; everything is good enough for me. But specifically, with NetVault Plus, I don't see any impact.
