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 modeling is important.

What do you dislike about the product?
Does not allows to use and access all the feature in non subscribed version of the platform. Except this we have no issue from this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nasuni had really worked well and provided best results in lesser time. It kept and managed our documentations in one place. The software had perfectly worked well for keeping every document safe and easy to share and access when ever needed. The search engine and filter options are great features in it which saved a lot of our time many times.
Nasuni - Simple and Clean
What do you like best about the product?
Nasuni is great when it comes to scalability. We use it in multiple offices across the USA and having it to where anyone can work "locally" even if they are working a project 5 states away is a game changer. The idea also that if one office goes down we can just point them to the next closest filer and get on with it with no worry of data loss or loss of productivity is a huge selling point. It's super easy to manage and from a user perspective they never see a difference from the old system. Spinning up a filer is simple which makes implementing it in a new office a breeze.
What do you dislike about the product?
The major downside is basically what you see anytime you adopt a service like this: It's basically a one-way road. Getting off Nasuni (if you wanted to) doesn't seem to be as straightforward as getting on it. Also, having to reach out to support for some simple tasks can be a bit annoying, but they are usually pretty quick to respond, so while I'd love to be able to do it on my end, it's not a deal breaker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to provide quick and easy file access to my users, no matter where in the country they are located, and they are able to work "locally" which helps keep lag down and efficiency up.
Transforming File Storage & Data Management with Nasuni
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Nasuni can easily grow in the cloud and that it has built-in versioning that makes file recovery quick. The features that protect against ransomware and make data unchangeable add an extra layer of security. The clean admin interface makes it easy and quick to do management tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to complain about, but it would be nice to have more detailed reporting and analytics options for deeper insights. The first step of the migration process also needs careful planning to make sure everything goes smoothly. After that, the system is easy to keep up with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our file storage plan has gotten a lot better thanks to Nasuni. As an IT administrator, I like how easy it is to set up, run, and grow. We were able to combine our on-premises file servers, lower maintenance costs, and give our teams secure global file access by moving to a cloud-native file platform. The performance is good, and the built-in backup, versioning, and ransomware protection features make us sure that our data is always safe. Restoring files, whether it's one file or a whole directory, is quick and easy. The interface is easy to use, and support has always been quick to respond and helpful when we've needed help.
Nasuni IQ
What do you like best about the product?
I am very impressed with the centralized tool of Nasuni console management.

What do you dislike about the product?
Since Nasuni is cloud-based, offline access is limited. Any network issues can disrupt access to files, especially in remote or bandwidth-constrained locations.
Nasuni is optimized for file sharing and collaboration, not for high-performance workloads like databases.
while using Nasuni we are getting frequent excel corruption issues. Users unable to recover full date of excel.

Cloud Storage at best price and Performance
What do you like best about the product?
Nasuni delivers reliable performance at a budget-friendly price, meeting the demands of modern applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface could be significantly improved to enhance usability and streamline workflows.
Nasuni requires spinning up multiple VMs, which adds complexity and overhead to the deployment.
The platform functions as a black box, limiting flexibility — I am unable to install custom software or tools needed for our specific use cases on the underlying machines.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Nasuni has proven to be a cost-effective solution, especially compared to traditional storage systems. By storing data in object storage (blob) and only requiring payment for the local cache disk, I've seen a noticeable reduction in storage costs across all my workloads. Additionally, all workloads are performing as expected, with no observable performance degradation.
Excellent platform to share and secure data across multiple sites
What do you like best about the product?
availability and easy to restore files from snapshots in case it is needed
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing specific to dislike to be honest
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sharing files across multiple sites
Cloud data management that achieves cost efficiency with advanced data protection features
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection. Version control is also helpful, as we have almost all of our Nasuni deployments on a single version. Although upgrading involves some downtime, it's easy to upgrade and manage version control.
What needs improvement?
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. Also, there should be improvements in automated load balancing since scaling requires manual load balancing.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Nasuni for around four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the stability of Nasuni as nine.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.
How are customer service and support?
I rarely contact tech support, as we usually rely on our technical account manager. My interactions with tech support are limited to two or three cases a year.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have experience with NetApp and EMC Isilon. However, the solution choice depends on specific requirements. For instance, cloud support led us to choose between Nasuni and NetApp.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Nasuni is simple. However, setting up monitoring and alerting increases the complexity to a medium level.
What about the implementation team?
We managed the setup in-house without any integrators or consultants.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
I prefer solutions with lower pricing. I would rate Nasuni's pricing as eight since I consider it to be reasonably priced.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Compared to Nasuni, main competitors are NetApp and EMC Isilon.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend Nasuni to other users considering their data requirements. Overall, I would give Nasuni a rating of eight.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Other
Nasuni has reduced storage costs, replacing on-premise legacy storage with a hybrid cloud approach.
What do you like best about the product?
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.
What do you dislike about the product?
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.
What problems is the product 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.
Simple Setup with helpful support
What do you like best about the product?
It was really easy to setup. The PS team was knowledgable which made setup fast and they were able to help trouldeshoot challenges like bandwidth restrictions.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reporting can be improved but I know they are work on it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to move off of a physical file storage solution to a cloud solution for a fraction of the cost. With Nasuni we now have improved resilance.
Cost effective Cloud Storage Solution
What do you like best about the product?
Cost effective Solution , Easily Scalable , can store peta bytesof data with multiple (infinite) snapshots .
What do you dislike about the product?
No Backup solution , Azure Disaster recovery failback concerns , Can be provided as service instead of VM deployment and management
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
nasuni is providing cost effective storage solution over cloud , as active data resides in cache and non-active data stays in blob providing performance as well as cost saving for us.
