The all inclusive file collaboration platform
What do you like best about the product?
Nasuni as a cloud hybrid global filesystem supports people in the office, across branches as well as mobile workers to collaborate on an unlimited amount of files, unlimited in size. Additionally, through its web access with Nasuni access anywhere, it allows to also collaborate with business partners and customers without security flaws, even within Microsoft Teams. It protects your content from getting lost or encrypted and helps you to restore from accidental deletion or on-site desaster within minutes. All in all one of the best decisions we ever made.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nasuni - although having access to all data as absolution - still behaves as a storage vendor while it could become a data analytics tool that helps to manage, search, learn and create new data from existing data. It also could leverage AIOps thinking to optimize the cloud infrastructure of customers by detailed analysis of connection and traffic data. That said - I feel this opportunity is already seen at Nasuni and visible trends point into the right direction.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our virtual file servers behave like a smart swarm of servers, all managed by the Nasuni management console. Each server has access to the whole dataset from the encrypted cloud backend and since we are doing 10 minute snapshots of everything, nothing can ever get lost. Workers enjoy the 3-30seconds it takes for new or changed content to appear on all our locations so that collaboration between locations has become very easy and desaster recovery is done in minutes regardless of size.

Simplifies file management at scale
What do you like best about the product?
The Nasuni platform has removed a large operational overhead from our IT operations team in having to manage multiple distributed file servers and centralised file storage SANs. The simple centralised management model allows our operations team to focus their time on business value objectives with minimal capacity or resiliency activities needed to maintain a large unstructured file service for our business. The company has a good engagement model with customers, user communities and events to share experiences and gather feedback. This is seen with strong roadmaps that actually deliver on features we want to see. The support has been extremely good from first point of contact through to resolution.
What do you dislike about the product?
For us, onboarding our legacy file data was challenging a few years ago. This was related more towards the quality of our data sets. These needed to be cleaned ahead of migration. The platform is better at handling these today and more recent migrations have gone smoothly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our unstructured file data was growing at a high rate. We faced multiple challenges in scaling storage in time and where it was needed to meet business needs. The Nasuni platform allow sus to centrally manage storage and using the caching system, physical capacity planning is minimal now.
Awesome technology for supporting a collaborative and resilient environment.
What do you like best about the product?
Nasuni has allowed us to build a very disperse (> 160 sites) but yet collaborative and resilient environment. Setting up cross office or cross company collaborative shares is straight forward and quick. Also Nasuni allows us to create "partner" filers in our data center that serve as fail-over sites in case something happens to the remote office. Data is synced at a fairly quick pace (every 5 minutes or so) and so if a local filer goes offline, the employees can still access their data from the partner filer and have their most recent data available to them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nasuni is not a real-time replication technology. There is a bit of a delay for a new file saved in one location to show up in another. But that can be mitigated with employee education and setting realistic expectations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nasuni made it possible to decommission our traditional file backup strategy and expense. We no longer need tapes or additional cloud storage capabilities to secure our unstructured data. It also enabled us to maximize our cross office and cross company collaboration efforts - letting us virtually share the same set of files in multiple locations. That way the employees in an office in Anaheim can share files with an office in Orlando, each working on them at local network speeds. And with Nasuni Global File Locking in place, it insures we don't have collisions when working on that same set of files.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Work with the implementation team at Nasuni, be sure to design your file shares to take advantage of global file locking where you need it and talk to others in the Nasuni community about tips and tricks you can leverage.
Nasuni DBase review
What do you like best about the product?
It delivers a great data handling capacity.
What do you dislike about the product?
The database query systems is slower and needs faster access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped up storing and analyzing large data sets for machine learning algorithms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try for faster data access algorithms
Flexible storage for file consolidation
What do you like best about the product?
We bought Nasuni to provide file auditing and disaster recovery. We primarily use it for enterprise file storage over SMB and it works very well for that. The NMC makes maintenance tasks, including frequent upgrades, easy to manage and maintain. In addition, we use pinning to keep specific data on filers to ensure quick access for frequently changed files and folders.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Nasuni Management Console does some things very well, but has some oddities. For example, when a filer is deployed you can select what shares to make available. After deploying the filer, adding shares to filers is an onerous task: administrators must add the share to each individual filer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Maintaining file servers for each remote office was causing access issues for users.
2. Disaster recovery for critical company files was, in a word, lacking.
3. We needed frequent backups of files for recovery at a point-in-time - rather than once every 12 or 24 hours.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Nasuni is not cheap. Your business may be able to adequately address their needs with other products. We were in a position where the feature set was easily justifiable given the expressed needs of the executive team.
Nasuni expanded our File sharing capabilities internationally
What do you like best about the product?
Nasuni allowed us to expand our creative workflow to our international teams. We could easily onboard our teams just by simply installing a filler in the country that the team is in. It’s really great.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could use some work. It’s a bit clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We created a creative workflow on our local servers in our office, but they couldn’t be accessed internationally. Nasuni allowed us to install fillers in the locations that we needed them and eliminated all of our blockers from expanding globally.
Great product! We now have capabilities we never had before!
What do you like best about the product?
Nasuni has changed the ability to manage our data storage with the visibility needed in a complex global organization with many different brands in many different countries.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far we don't really have any complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a growing problem as our business increases in size and business units, and users storing data on a shared cloud drive, to be able to monitor/track IP entering and leaving the drive. Being able to report out on types of files by location and monitor traffic accessing those files is extremely important.
