(Original )Information
What do you like best about Nasuni?

The set up of our Nasuni environment was very easy.

The sharing of files between our offices is pretty fast

Customer Support is very helpful

The addition of Ransomware detection has increased their value.

Our Nasuni environment has been stable since we implemnted it in 2017.

Global File Acceleration has increased the sync time between our filers.

Also, there Access Anywhere file sharing application is very easy to use and works great. We use this as a replacement for Box and it costs about a third of the price of Box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nasuni?

I can't even say this is a complaint because it continually improves but, the sync time between filers does cause issues with end users but, with global file aceleration, this is essentially non-existant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nasuni solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has reduced infrastructure with removal of storage hardware.

It backs up out fiels to the cloud.

It allows us to have one NAS for all of our users in our multiple offices.

For Access Anywhere, it integrates with our current data and edge appliance environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nasuni?

Nasuni is easy to deploy and their support staff is top notch. The best part of the deployment design was choosing to use DFS to obfuscate the new UNC storage destinations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nasuni?

Data migration into Nasuni (w/ Azure cloud) can take a long time and needs a lot of babysitting. This problem is not unique to Nasuni. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nasuni solving and how is that benefiting you?

Replaces on-premise storage hardware which is costly to operate and reduces our power and space consumption in our data center. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nasuni?

McKim & Creed is a AEC firm with more than 25 offices. We wanted to make sure that all users had access to all files all of the time and the Nasuni platform allowed us to achieve that goal. Regardless if you are running on prem connected to a filer, over a VPN, or using a VDI workstation the ability of users to access files including Autodesk and Bentley applications while locking those files to prevent changes is outstanding. It's a tool that everyone in the company uses every day.

In addition to the file sharing capabilities, the backup and recovery tools are outstanding and allow any member of the IT team to restore files. Nasuni is also a key part of our BCP plan including helping to detect ransomware attacks.

The support team is outstanding and their product development team really listens to our concerns. We're currently working in integrating Nasuni into AI based solutions to help with proposal generation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nasuni?

File replication from site to site can take a couple of minutes, and if a user copies terrabytes of data onto a file it can take a while to replicate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nasuni solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sharing files across distance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nasuni?

My experience with the Nasuni edge appliance and Nasuni Management Console has been very positive. I believe it's a compelling technology for businesses seeking to migrate applications and user data to the cloud from on-premises file storage solutions (NAS or file servers).

Some of themost valuable features I had the chance to use and catched my attention possitively were:

Easy to use snapshot/restore module. Fast data pointers restoration, critical data outage can be recovered in a few moments.

Customer support is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nasuni?

I have faced drawbacks when trying to create custom reporting for my customer. It forced my team to script our own reporting deliverable using Nasuni NMC API.

Integration specs with Modelling software like CAD is not very clear, seems like more in depth testing needs to be done with that kind of software, specially when tehre is a vpn layer in the middle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nasuni solving and how is that benefiting you?

On premise production and archive data migration to the cloud which is a key moment if you want to rethink your data structure for the future.

Metadata restores are great in the event of high critical amount of data deletion.

Having a centralized management console is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nasuni?

Nasuni is a great option for businesses looking to store data on prem while still having cloud backup functionality. It helps cut down on the costs of physically storing TBs worth of hard drives for storage, while simultaneously enabling file revision history in case a file gets accidentally deleted or saved over. Nasuni comes in extremely handy when a user accidentally deletes a file and it needs to be restored from a previous date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nasuni?

Occasionally, it can affect performance when attempting to perform administrative tasks on the files from a Windows server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nasuni solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nasuni is helping us accomplish disaster recovery by automatically backing up our files to an offsite location with an automatic cadence. Additionally, it assists us when file recoveries are needed by enabling the restoration of files from the revision history. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nasuni?

Nasuni is a great and cost effective product!, we moved all of out on-prem data to the Cloud with the same user experience. We don't have to worry about hardware renewal, maintenance and available space.

Proffesional services of Nasuni are world class! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nasuni?

Nasuni has a great add-on feature for Ransonmware but expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nasuni solving and how is that benefiting you?

We implemented Nasuni mainly to replace the on-prem storage servers and to improve the backup of the data. Now we don't have to warry abour hardware, available space and hardware migration. Users can access everywhere to the data with great performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nasuni?

It mostly just works. Highly responsive and knowlegable support staff. The best way we've found to manage fileshares in the cloud. One of the most grainular snapshot systems around. I don't worry about backups anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nasuni?

After over four years of use there are a few things that could be improved with the UI. I could get into the weeds discussing this (and have with their sales engineers) but none of it is a show stopper. It does take a lot of CPU and Memory, also you have to use SSDs to get full performance out of it. But if you size your server correctly, it will perform well. Figure you'll want something like a Dell R750 with SSD RAID for each filer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nasuni solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having power & cooling sucking SANs on-site. Having to deal with backups and restores. All those SANs need maintaince contracts, the backup software needs to be kept current. With Nasuni all our data is safely off-site and in a DR situation it can be made available at another site within minutes. Since moving to Nasuni I've decommissioned hundreds of hard drives.
