Box and Nasuni are both strong contenders in data management and cloud storage solutions, but Nasuni edges out Box in several areas due to its robust, scalable architecture and superior data protection features.
Features: Box is praised for its ease of integration with other applications, strong collaboration tools, and competitive pricing. Nasuni stands out for its scalable architecture, robust data protection features, and extensive storage management capabilities. Box focuses on collaboration, while Nasuni excels in large-scale data management and security.
Room for Improvement: Box could enhance its offline access capabilities, improve file syncing speeds, and bolster integration support. Nasuni users seek a more intuitive setup process, better user training resources, and improved interface customization. Box's improvements focus on usability, whereas Nasuni users seek enhancements in initial setup and education.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Box offers straightforward deployment options and effective customer service. Nasuni, while more complex to deploy, also provides excellent customer service. The main distinction is Box's simplicity compared to Nasuni's configurable deployment.
Pricing and ROI: Box offers budget-friendly solutions and clear ROI for small to medium enterprises. Nasuni, though more expensive, delivers high ROI by serving large enterprises with significant storage needs. Box is a cost-effective option, while Nasuni is suited for large-scale investments.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.
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.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

Nasuni is a file data services enterprise focused on assisting firms with their digital transformation, global expansion, and information awareness. The Nasuni File Data Platform is a suite of cloud-based services designed to enhance user productivity, ensure business continuity, provide data intelligence, offer cloud options, and simplify global infrastructure. This platform and its auxiliary services are projected to replace conventional file infrastructure such as network attached storage (NAS), backup, and Disaster Recovery (DR), with an expandable cloud-scale solution. By storing file data in scalable cloud object storage from multiple providers, Nasuni positions itself as a cloud-native alternative for traditional NAS and file server infrastructure. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, Nasuni serves sectors like manufacturing, construction, technology, oil and gas, financial services, and public sector worldwide, offering its services in more than 70 countries.
James J., IT Manager at a marketing services firm, says Nasuni’s management dashboard is helpful because he's able to view all of the different filers at once rather than check each one of them individually. He values the software’s security, reliability, good performance, helpful alerting, and responsive support.
According to a Server Engineering Services Lead at a mining and metals company, Nasuni offers good OR and DR capabilities, performs well, offers data security, and continuous file versioning helps recover from hardware failures.
The Managing Director of IT at a construction company appreciates Nasuni because it eliminates a lot of work that was previously done when managing backing up and restoring data files.
