Room For Improvement

Dropbox Business - Enterprise could improve file sharing, security, storage, pricing, integration, UI simplicity, real-time collaboration, and scalability.
Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
Sharing documents with other people in the same division or department and being able to work without downloading the file would be ideal.
Measurement Manager at A3E Ingenieros
For example, our company is not allowed to use Google because Google is not a secure cloud service in the estimation of our IT department.
Business Process Manager/ Educational Technologist at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees
One area of improvement would be to allow multiple users to edit a file simultaneously and see edits in real time, similar to OneDrive.
Research Analyst at Counterpoint Research (Counterpoint Technology Market Research)
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.

Setup Cost

Enterprise users appreciate Dropbox Business for competitive pricing and flexibility, though some desire better discounts compared to alternatives.
Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.

It also features an admin console where we can easily manage users, see which user has access to which content, and how much space they are consuming.
Research Analyst at Counterpoint Research (Counterpoint Technology Market Research)
I do enjoy the family sharing plan, so my entire family can use my one plan and my data storage, and we can have shared files or private areas for their own files.
Business Process Manager/ Educational Technologist at a educational organization with 1,001-5,000 employees
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

Family sharing and personal backups have improved how I manage and access my files anywhere
I am not fond of their syncing. Their file syncing is very clunky, so I am not a real fan of the file syncing. I think Box does a much better job of the syncing of data onto desktops and laptops. When you try to sync the files in Dropbox, it actually puts a copy of the file on your laptop, so it sucks up all of your memory. Whereas with Box, I can sync files into my file explorer and it is still cloud-based. They have not saved the file physically onto my laptop. They save it in the cloud and it just does a temporary download and then it uploads again, but that file is not saved on my laptop. Whereas with Dropbox, anytime you want to sync on your laptop, it actually does save it. There is a way to set it up, but it takes a lot more work and effort and I have never been able to get it to work the way I want it to work. So I just do not sync my files with Dropbox on my laptop. That limits my ability to use Dropbox from my work laptop because my work laptop just does not have any memory at all on it. They give the bare minimum of memory and say that it should all be in the cloud anyway, so you do not need to have that much storage space. So I cannot even access Dropbox from my work laptop and have to use the browser version of Dropbox if I need to access my Dropbox from my work laptop. Within the company, it is a personal choice. Our company has not dictated what cloud service to use. As long as it has all the security measures that meet the standards of our IT department, anyone can use whatever cloud service they want. For example, our company is not allowed to use Google because Google is not a secure cloud service in the estimation of our IT department. So there are cloud services that we are not allowed to use, but from the five to seven different services that they give us to choose from, we all can find what meets our needs.

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…
