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
5.4
Veritas Alta offers a single-vendor data protection with ransomware defense, AWS backup, and reported 10% cost savings.
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.

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
4.9
Veritas Alta Data Protection's customer service is praised, but APAC users face challenges due to limited resources and time zone 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
With the enterprise support model for Veritas Alta Data Protection, the technical support is at a level of nine.
Manager, Network Ict at Associated Motorways (Private) Limited
 

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
6.7
Veritas Alta Data Protection excels in scalable, adaptable, and cost-effective storage options, gaining high ratings for reliability and flexibility.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.

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
8.4
Veritas Alta Data Protection is highly rated for stability, with no performance issues and effective use of geographic clusters.
 

Room For Improvement

Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
Veritas Alta Data Protection needs a user-friendly interface, simplified reporting, and AI features to improve user experience.
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
Customers do not receive the real pricing advantage because the distributor keeps a margin, and the vendor also keeps a margin.
Manager, Network Ict at Associated Motorways (Private) Limited
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.
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 offers competitive pricing with potential discounts, though regional distributor margins might affect final costs.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.

Customers do not receive the real pricing advantage because the distributor keeps a margin, and the vendor also keeps a margin.
Manager, Network Ict at Associated Motorways (Private) Limited
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 provides robust ransomware protection, cloud integration, automated operations, and cost-effective, secure data management and recovery.
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
The unique selling proposition includes automated policy-driven operations.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
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
Multi-factor authentication is enabled, ransomware protection is enabled, and all security checks have been put in place.

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.
