Cloud data management that achieves cost efficiency with advanced data protection features
I am currently using Nasuni for seismic data. We have a huge data size, and we want to reduce costs. Nasuni acts as a caching solution, so we put some data into the cache, and the rest goes to the blob, which helps us save on costs. We use it for applications like Petrol and Tech Log, where 3D…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"With Nasuni, we have been able to replace multiple data silos and toolsets with a single global file system, which is important to us because we have been able to consolidate several different products and solutions."
"Nasuni gives us a single platform with a 360-degree view of our data, which is important so that we know the size of our estate and the amount of data that we hold."
"It has the ability to do end-user recovery, or a user can simply contact an admin who can perform a recovery from the management console. The versioning has simplified everything. Now we don't have to worry about those components."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity of the backup and restore functions."
"The system has so far been doing an awesome job and working as advertised."
"The solution gives us a breakdown and summary of every resource and each volume within every resource. It tells us the code within a given volume, so I can go in there and look at the size of the files that are stored there. Nasuni gives me the big picture and allows me to connect things like Power BI to any endpoint. I can take that tabular information from Nasuni and look at it in a graph."
"With a shift to more remote work during this past year, we deployed a new instance of Nasuni in Azure, which allowed us to be more flexible and support remote work better, something we wouldn't have been able to do with legacy file storage."
"My clients are happy with Nasuni because the transmission is seamless, and it consolidates all the existing file servers into one location. Also, Nasuni has no boundaries. It's infinitely expandable. They don't have to rely on the service provider for backup and restoration. It's self-serve."
"Excellent service."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version."
"I trust pCloud to store my business and personal files like photos, videos, university books, etc. pCloud is always there when I need it."
"After a lot of tests, I found pCloud to be the most secure and affordable solution for independent businesses like myself."
"pCloud is one of my favourite cloud storage services that help me to store and share important images, videos, and files."
"I like the interface and that they add new features all the time, but I use it mainly for the sync option which keeps my files up to date."
 

Cons

"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."
"The Nasuni file storage platform doesn't work well when there are a high number of small files."
"Its interface design or the graphic user interface design can be slightly tweaked in some areas."
"We can recover if data and a Filer are lost because of a possible ransomware event, but even that takes time to recover."
"There are some issues with multiple users accessing the same file simultaneously. There would be times when the global file would lock when several people tried to access it, so that could be optimized more."
"Room for improvement would be the speed of replication of new files. I would also like to see cloud mirroring."
"There is some room for improvement when it comes to monitoring. We are not using Nasuni monitoring. We are using our own monitoring through Xenos. Nasuni can provide better monitoring capabilities for us to monitor all the filers and NMC so that we don't have to use a third-party tool."
"One area that we've recently spoken to Nasuni about is single sign-on. Another is integrating Nasuni with Azure Active Directory. In our particular case, that would allow for third-party consultants to access our Azure Active Directory environment as opposed to coming to our on-premises environment."
"I would really like to be able to search entire documents."
"I would like to be able to edit the files at the same time with the others, but I understand that this is not possible with the cloud solutions in general."
"Integration with third-party software mostly. Also, online file editing option for documents."
"Sometimes the desktop sync can take some moment before starting the sync process. Also, pCloud should improve their customer care service."
"I'd like to be able to edit my files via the mobile device without downloading the file on my local space."
"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nasuni pricing is average; it's not too high or too low."
"With this solution, the license renewal is pretty swift. With the virtual appliance, you just need to take care of the OS versions and patches. In a way, we don't have to struggle much with renewals because the only thing that we need to take care of are the licenses. We renew it every three years. This aspect goes with infrastructural costs because it doesn't cost us too much to maintain the solution."
"It's cheaper than a lot of alternatives but it's not cheap."
"It has a license fee as well as hardware costs, which we would incur if we want to use Nasuni Cloud Storage Gateway for upgrades."
"The pricing is fair. It's an enterprise-level solution so it's not inexpensive... The cost is pretty stable year over year."
"The cost of licensing is negotiated and billed annually per terabyte."
"Nasuni should provide small-scale licenses, like a 20 TB license. Currently, the smallest is a 30 TB license."
"Our agreement is set up such that we pay annually per terabyte, and we buy a chunk of it at a time. Then if we run out of space, we go back to them and buy another chunk."
