Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.5
Nasuni users enjoy cost savings, increased productivity, and efficiency from reduced labor, cloud scalability, and improved data management.
Sentiment score
6.3
Veritas Alta Data Protection offers ROI through time and cost savings, vendor consolidation, and enhanced security against ransomware.
It is not primarily about cost optimization, but more about protecting our organization against ransomware attacks to avoid being brought to its knees.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
We can see approximately 10% in savings, which could be in terms of time saving or money saving.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni's customer service is praised for responsiveness and professionalism, efficiently solving issues with reliable and knowledgeable support.
Sentiment score
3.8
Customer service is good but needs improvements in regional support and availability across time zones for urgent issues.
The IVR system should be reduced so that customers can reach support directly, as when someone calls, it is typically for a critical technical issue and the call should connect directly to a representative.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
This is a challenge for me, especially since I work in APAC, and whenever we engage with Veritas technical support, I must wait for someone in the United States to be available to help with our issue.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
 

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
7.7
Users praise Alta Data's excellent scalability and cost-effective nature, reporting high satisfaction and capacity for growth without performance constraints.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.
Infrastructure Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Veritas Alta Data Protection is not expensive, which makes it scalable.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
Sentiment score
8.6
Veritas Alta Data Protection is highly stable, consistently rated nine out of ten, even with geographic clustering functionality.
 

Room For Improvement

Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
Veritas Alta Data Protection requires user-friendly upgrades, simpler interface, AI file restoration, and better documentation and reporting tools.
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 solution could benefit from some artificial intelligence features where we can restore files or get assistance from the AI side.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
Veritas Alta Data Protection can be deployed on multiple cloud providers, including Azure and GCP.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
I want a very simple GUI which even an L1 engineer or L1 cloud engineer can understand and use with minimum supervision.
Enterprise solution architect at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
Veritas Alta Data Protection is cost-effective due to discounts, offering competitive features despite being typically 20% more expensive.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
Infrastructure Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Since we have been using Veritas Alta Data Protection for the last four years, the price is very friendly.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
Regarding the pricing aspect, we received a pretty good discount when we started onboarding all of our backups to Veritas Alta Data Protection.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
 

Valuable Features

Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
Veritas Alta Data Protection offers robust ransomware defense, seamless cloud integration, automation, cost efficiency, and multi-cloud protection capabilities.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.
Infrastructure Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The unique selling proposition includes automated policy-driven operations.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
The best feature Veritas Alta Data Protection offers is integration with existing hyperscalers or virtual platforms as well as integration with current computing platforms, where we can see this working well with our existing scenarios.

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…

Cloud backups have secured critical data and have enabled fast recovery from ransomware threats
I do utilize the automated policy-driven operations with Veritas Alta Data Protection. They have helped in reducing manual workloads because manual intervention is required to handle errors or backup job failures when trying to back up a particular AWS account where critical resources are deployed. Discovery takes a lot of time because we are backing up data already in the S3 buckets. We often face challenges with resource discovery because discovery does not happen once a month; it happens daily. Every day, the discovery job runs before backing up resources. We may encounter issues in discovery or related to permissions, meaning if we have backup permissions on a bucket but further intensive permissions are present on any particular file, the Veritas Alta Data Protection job will skip that file. At times, backup fails with one or another error, and manual intervention is definitely needed. It is predominantly automated and policy-driven, but manual intervention is also required sometimes. We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases. One more crucial feature for us in selecting Veritas Alta Data Protection is having replication between Veritas Alta Data Protection clusters. Once the primary backup job is complete, Veritas Alta Data Protection runs an SLP job, which is a storage lifecycle policy. This SLP job moves or replicates the data from one Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster to another. If the Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster goes down, the data is still replicated to the other Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster.
