Room For Improvement

Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
NetApp Cloud Backup users need better integration, KPI handling, ITSM support, and ease of use, with cost-effective comparisons to competitors.
I would improve Nasuni by addressing the performance issues we sometimes face on the base file share, which must be fixed.
Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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

Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
Enterprise buyers appreciate NetApp Cloud Backup's cost-effective pricing, though virtual NetApp hosting is pricier than general cloud hosting.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.

I find Nasuni's pricing to be competitive with other vendors, especially when comparing it with NetApp or EMC.

NetApp Cloud Backup is praised for its simplicity, seamless integration, efficiency, data protection, scalability, user-friendliness, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
Data protection is enhanced by the fact that Nasuni uses S3 technology to create snapshots every five minutes and enables versioning, so the snapshot is created and I can utilize that snapshot for disaster recovery or restore purposes.

The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

Unified cloud file storage has simplified global data management and reduced operational overhead
From an admin perspective, Nasuni has various valuable features. The GUI is very good, upgrading is very easy, and DFS is very easily manageable. Compared with other products, the snapshot feature is beneficial because it creates a snapshot every five minutes, allowing me to provide restores very easily to customers. Data protection is enhanced by the fact that Nasuni uses S3 technology to create snapshots every five minutes and enables versioning, so the snapshot is created and I can utilize that snapshot for disaster recovery or restore purposes. I assess the value of global file locking and caching for reducing latency as good, giving it a five out of five.

Offers protection and does scanning of the data in the storage
NetApp has a nasty way of dealing with the license for the product's on-premises virtual NetApp appliance that you need in your whole architecture, and it is not directly linked to NetApp Cloud Backup. It is not a feature that I want to change in NetApp Cloud Backup because the cloud backup service is architectured in a way that makes it available to users, so it looks pretty good to me. When you go to the other side, you can see what you want to have on-premises for the main side in order to have backup in the cloud via NetApp Cloud Backup. With the on-premises part, you need to have either a physical NetApp or a virtual NetApp. You only have two options for primary storage from the network. In the physical cases, it is pretty straightforward as you have pricing and something like a grid with your NetApp. The sales representatives explain how much it will cost you to have some physical NetApp storage based on performance, types, and so on. The support contracts are for three or five years. When it comes to the virtual NetApp, you can run on top of an existing VMware tool or a recent cluster; it gets nasty because they do not let you change the licensed server. Once you deploy a virtual NetApp with a licensed server that you have on-premises, you migrate off from that, but NetApp does not let you change the licensed server, which should be really simple.
