It's been used as a storage system for our social media site.
When you run a social media site, the limitless scalability of Wasabi is critical for our mission-critical systems since it ensures that we don't have to worry about our users running out of space.
Wasabi is cost-effective, has no ingress and egress fees, and is reliable.
Wasabi helps us in maintaining our enterprise-grade safety requirements because it's highly functional, allowing us to maintain redundancies required for some of our solutions.
Wasabi is highly integratable because many systems successfully use it. It is extremely useful in facilitating seamless adoption into our current operational procedures.
Many of the solutions that are on Kubernetes use Wasabi integration for their S3, and increasingly, virtually all of them now use Wasabi for their integrations.
Wasabi's features of eliminating egress and API requests fees have ensured that we can run our social media sites without charging users for data, which increases the adoption of our platform.
Wasabi's simplified pricing model is phenomenal in helping our organization predict and manage cloud costs.
The most important improvement we would like to see in Wasabi is the ability to find files and folders easily on the platform, as it is not very easy at all right now.
We have used Wasabi for at least the past three years.
I have escalated questions to the Wasabi tech support.
I evaluate Wasabi's tech support as pretty effective; they set up live support instantly and did quite a lot quickly.
The technical support of Wasabi deserves a rating of nine.
Positive
Before Wasabi, we were using Amazon.
We have not needed to calculate the ROI for Wasabi, but we know that the value speaks for itself and it is fabulous.
If any features are enhanced, that will be a very big deal.
Wasabi is very easy to implement and didn't take any time at all to implement.
We decided to switch to Wasabi primarily due to cost, followed by ease of use and ease of integration with third-party providers.
I would rate Wasabi as a product an eight out of ten.
So far, I think Wasabi is doing all right, and I recommend that they should consider deploying it in as many of their solutions as they can.
We use Wasabi to back up all of our WordPress sites. Anytime we have a new website, it's just easy to add it.
The cost is low, it is foolproof, and it has redundancy. We have never had an outage, and it is very reliable and stable. Since it is so inexpensive, it does not impact our profit significantly.
Wasabi could be cheaper, however, it is already really cheap, so I cannot say if there is anything specific that would be an improvement.
I have been using Wasabi for four or five years, probably.
We have never had an outage. Wasabi is very reliable and very stable.
It is really easily scalable. Anytime we have a new website, it is just easy to add it. It is transparent to us what goes on behind the scenes at Wasabi.
We have not really had to communicate with their support people at all in all the time that we have used them. My tech has communicated with them about reselling in a different environment, and it went well.
Neutral
It is pretty straightforward as I recall. It is really easy to do inside of our WordPress sites. We use a program called WPVivid, the professional version, and it is almost a no-brainer to set up remote backups.
It is a sales tool that we can offer to our customers when we host their website. We can tell them that we are backing it up as frequently as they might need it. It is a sales tool for us.
I would absolutely recommend Wasabi to others.
Overall, I would rate Wasabi a ten out of ten.
We use Wasabi to move local backups to the cloud. The Veeam appliance server backs up the data. We have a certain amount of specific assets that the data is uploaded to the cloud for safekeeping in case something happens to the site. If we had a disaster, we could recover that data into a new site and get back up and running.
Wasabi is an easy-to-use solution. We just upload, and then they encrypt the data. So if we need to restore something from it, we use it from the Veeam appliance.
Setting up users on the appliance should be improved. Wasabi should improve how to add and delete or modify users with access.
I have been using Wasabi for the last two years.
I rate Wasabi ten out of ten for stability.
I rate Wasabi a nine out of ten for scalability. Only three users use the solution in our organization.
We had a good experience with Wasabi's technical support team.
Positive
Wasabi's initial setup requires a bit of assistance from Wasabi support because it is not intuitive.
Wasabi's deployment took a month. The solution's deployment was done through an in-house team, but we needed support from Wasabi to help us.
We have seen a return on investment with Wasabi because we have got backups when we need them.
Wasabi has better pricing than Nutanix. Wasabi has standard support and pricing for a specific time. We typically do this for three years.
Wasabi is a nice alternative over Nutanix or some other cloud resource.
Overall, I rate Wasabi a nine out of ten.
We use the solution in our organization. Our customers also use it. We put it on a bucket and then use the AWS CLI tools to fetch and manipulate files. We use Hot Cloud Storage for backups. The solution is suitable for medium data storage.
The solution makes us more reliable. Since it is a cloud storage solution, we could be live and accessible to external clients as quickly as possible. We can upload things within minutes. It has improved our deliverability.
The product provides Reserved Capacity Storage. The tool is very user-friendly. Integrating the product within the existing infrastructure with third-party solutions is easy. For data security and compliance, the solution promises us a 99.9% uptime and retention of the cloud servers. We don't have any issues around data security. The data retention has also been good. We do not have any inconsistency in our data from when we upload it to when we retrieve it. Everything is very clear from the get-go.
The solution must allow the extension of the retention period. Depending on the use case, the retention period can hamper us. We understand the importance of the retention period when we compare it to the price we pay. The vendor must promote the solution more. They are doing some promotions. More marketing will help people to know about the product.
I have been using the solution for a year and a half.
I rate the tool’s stability a nine out of ten.
I rate the tool’s scalability a nine out of ten. There is no limit. The only limit is the limit we put on our reserves. The product provides a pay-as-you-go model. We pay for what we use depending on the terms and conditions. The usage is charged fairly. If we go over and above the reserve capacity we have purchased, the vendor has ways of costing it to you. However, it will be nothing exorbitant that will affect our business and finances.
The solution is deployed on the cloud. It is very easy to deploy. We can deploy the tool within a day. If we know CLI commands or if we have any knowledge of the different cloud providers, it will not be a problem. We must understand the syntax used for the tool. Then, we just have to follow a step-by-step guide. It is very easy to set up for a technical person.
We can reserve capacities based on our usage expectations for two to three years. We can pay for it annually. It is quite easy for the organization. The pricing model is quite affordable. The price is reasonable.
There are two different types of support. There is a standard support and a premium support. It is up to the end user what kind of support they want to use based on their business requirements.
I have worked with Google Cloud Storage. Wasabi is comparable to Google Cloud Storage. The choice depends on what we are looking for. Both solutions use CLI tools that are up to date and up to standard. The tools offer reliability and good speed.
People must choose products depending on their use cases and infrastructure. We must also factor in egress costs. It depends on the infrastructure. Wasabi is a good product to use. It is a scalable and reliable cloud storage service. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.
The solution is an object storage provider. KVKK in my country is similar to GDPR in Europe. If it's a local customer and there are no restrictions with KVKK regulations, then we can use Wasabi. One of our customers told us that their data is not KVKK-regulated, so they could not copy their backup data to a European site. They also wanted a cheap product. So, we provide Wasabi to the customer. It backs up their data first into their on-premise solution. After that, they back up their secondary backup data to Wasabi. It's much cheaper than AWS and Azure.
The initial setup is straightforward.
Wasabi is not as widely used as Azure. The scalability could be improved.
I have been using the solution for four to six months.
The tool is stable. We haven't had any issues so far. I rate the stability an eight out of ten.
The tool is scalable. We have only one customer using the product. Compared to Azure, the product is less scalable. I rate the scalability a seven out of ten.
Azure has more resources than Wasabi.
We just need to create an account in Wasabi. Wasabi gives us an access link, username, and password. We provide this information to Veeam so that Veeam is able to reach Wasabi resources. Then, we can copy our backup data to Wasabi. It's very straightforward, and it's very easy. The deployment can be done within an hour. The user creation and Wasabi account login creation take about an hour. The final process takes about five minutes.
The tool’s price is very reasonable. It's almost half of AWS and Azure. We have to pay for what we use on a monthly basis.
I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
Our company is an integrator that installs solutions for educational institutions. Wasabi enables them to store data and distribute training videos on the cloud.
Storing data at scale is crucial, especially when it comes to storing training and educational videos on the cloud, which requires a significant amount of storage space. Each gigabyte can store approximately one hour of data. Therefore, if we intend to train individuals for thousands of hours, we will require several terabytes of storage. While it may seem affordable at a few dollars per terabyte, the cost can add up to around 100 dollars per terabyte annually. For educational content that requires a thousand terabytes of storage, we should expect to spend a hundred thousand dollars per year. This is where companies benefit, as the cost of storage may seem insignificant compared to the time and effort spent uploading data. Moreover, lower costs may encourage people to store more data on the cloud, improving access to information in developing countries such as Nigeria and Africa.
We can store our videos on hot storage, allowing immediate access to them. This is an advantage over Amazon Play Shop, where we cannot directly stream or subscribe to videos from storage.
Having the ability to upload and download data using third-party apps such as Mega which can sync to the desktop would be excellent.
I have been using the solution for a few months.
Wasabi is stable.
Wasabi is scalable.
The initial setup is straightforward. To deploy our data, we simply need to upload it using a standard web browser and then perform the necessary configurations.
Wasabi is a cost-effective solution for data storage, priced at just under six dollars per terabyte. With no additional fees, it provides an excellent option for storing data.
I give the solution a six out of ten.
No maintenance is required for Wasabi.
We have over 100,000 people using the solution.
When considering options, it's important to take into account the cost of Wasabi, which is half the price per month compared to other solutions.
We integrate with the solution to store data on the cloud.
The solution’s user reporting could be improved.
Wasabi's scalability is quite good because you can add as much storage as you need. Just two users are using the solution in our organization, and we have plans to increase the usage.
The solution’s initial setup is quite easy.
The solution was deployed through an in-house team in our organization.
Wasabi is a cheap solution, and users have to pay for a monthly license.
We use the latest version of Wasabi since it is a cloud storage service.
Overall, I rate Wasabi a six out of ten.
Our primary method for backup is MSP360. Essentially, we rely on it exclusively as a backup medium. However, in the forthcoming cloud installations, our plan is to utilize Wasabi as the primary storage solution.
The scalability could improve.
I have been using Wasabi for approximately two years.
We have not had an issue with the stability of the solution.
Wasabi is highly scalable.
I rate the scalability of Wasabi a nine out of ten.
I rate the support from Wasabi a nine out of ten.
Positive
The initial setup of Wasabi is straightforward. The deployment did not take a long time.
The price of the solution is inexpensive.
I rate the price of Wasabi a ten out of ten.
We have one person that does the maintenance of the solution. We integrate our backups through the web portal. One percent or less of our time is invested in maintenance.
I rate Wasabi a nine out of ten.
I use Wasabi for cloud backup. I don't what else you can use it for.
Basically, I set Wasabi up and forget it. I'll monitor it every once in a while just to make sure that it's working correctly. It's cost-effective and simple.
I don't have enough experience to understand the nuances of where they might improve. You can sign in to your account and monitor it. Beyond that, I don't know if there are any other bells and whistles that I could subscribe to. I don't use my cell phone to monitor it, so I couldn't comment on that.
I've been using Wasabi for a couple of years.
I'm going to assume that Wasabi is stable. I haven't had the chance to try it out extensively, so I really can't comment one way or the other. I trust that it's good because software vendors recommend it.
Wasabi is much easier to set up than the AWS solution.
I've used Amazon Web Services S3, and Wasabi is considerably less expensive. You save a lot of money for the same capabilities, and it's also easier to set up than Amazon Web Services. So this is my go-to solution for cloud storage.
I can only tell you that Wasabi costs about half what Amazon Web Services is charging. Now, the cost per month is a more difficult question. That varies depending on the capacity, the services you're employing, and that type of thing. So it's a question that doesn't have an answer without a specific case study. But, all in all, it's also easier to understand how much they will charge you for storage.
I rate Wasabi 10 out of 10. The only advice I have for others is to choose a backup software solution that will integrate with Wasabi, so you have that capability.
We use the solution as our primary repository. We also use local repositories as servers and local storage, but Wasabi is our first choice on the cloud.
We have at least one Petabyte of Wasabi. It is very cheap. It is 100% compatible with Veeam Software. It is a piece of cake to do it to work. It's plug-and-play, but we don't pay for the transactions. One of the best features is that all the data is stored in the air. We recover the data the moment we want. It's different from AWS in that it's code storage. You send the data to AWS, and the moment you need to recover, you need to warm up that data so you can recover.
It's an opportunity to have a data center in Brazil because, nowadays, all data centers are outside Brazil. So, if you can have a data center inside the field to work, it's an excellent opportunity.
I have been using Wasabi as a repository for four years.
Support is nice. The response time is very fast whenever we need it, and they usually solve our problems. We have very few problems with Wasabi, but when we need to talk to them, they provide a very fast response, and we usually need to exchange one or two emails to address our problem.
Positive
The initial setup is very easy. We have a local backup when we deploy a new environment with GEM software. It easily integrates with GEM software for sending and recovering files.
The first one concerns the price. The second is that it's on hot storage. We don't need to wait to recover our files. It's just a matter of asking to recover, sending a command to Veeam, and starting to recover files. The third is compatibility, as it was one of the first cloud storage systems compatible with Veeam.
Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
