Room For Improvement

Google Drive Enterprise needs enhanced security, improved interface, better non-Google integration, increased storage, and advanced Microsoft collaboration.
Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
I am not aware of the security level it provides, and I would not recommend it for enterprise or company use due to these security concerns.
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

Google Drive Enterprise offers varied pricing, seen as affordable by some, with value in bundled Google services despite competition.
Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
I am familiar with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing costs of Google Drive Enterprise, and I find it cost-effective.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
 

Valuable Features

Google Drive Enterprise provides seamless storage, collaboration, and security, offering flexible access and integration with Google services for efficient document management.
Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
The integration of various office tools allows for making and sharing documents easily.
The collaboration aspects between teams and within team members are the most beneficial features.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

Kepa-Ayerbe - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers valuable features like synchronization and backup
Some time ago, I faced issues with Google Drive Enterprise, but it is not related to the tool and was more of a problem associated with Android. At the end of the day, I had to contact Google's support team to deal with the issue associated with the capacity offered by the solution. Google's support team held me for free, and they helped me change the location from the US because the mobile app factory showed that the activation work was done in the US. Google's team helped me move the location to Spain. Google's support was fast, knowledgeable, and customer-friendly. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

It helped us save 40 to 45 percent on some types of data
It can provide a 360-degree view of your data, depending on how you implement it and whether you're storing your data in Nasuni. However, if you're working with multiple cloud providers, I don't think it's mature enough to provide a 360-degree view of what's in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I think it can do it, but it's still a lot of scope and range fitting. Given that Nasuni storage is actually cheaper in some areas, it made sense for us to move a lot of our data away from Microsoft. Nasuni gave us more of a 360 view of that particular data type. Other data types are a little different because the company went in a direction where they wanted to store some stuff in an AWS S3 bucket rather than a file storage system. An S3 bucket has its advantages, but if you were to store more of your data in Nasuni, you would get a wider 360-degree view of it rather than on several cloud providers. I have data in AWS, Google, and Azure, and I would like to see a wider view of all the data stored across these three top providers. Currently, I use it for AWS and Azure, but I couldn't use both of them at the same time. I think Nasuni could have better visibility across these different areas. I had to take my data out and then do some analysis to get the costs. It would be helpful to have more built-in analytics tools to compare the storage costs between the various cloud providers. I would also like some graphing capabilities. We had a tool called Grafana that we used for graphing. I think some more visual analytics like that would be nice.
