Nasuni and N2WS Backup & Recovery are in the file sharing and data protection market. Nasuni appears to have the upper hand in file sharing and scalability, while N2WS excels in cloud-native backup for AWS.
Features: Nasuni offers global file sharing, centralized management, and infinite scalability with features like continuous file versioning. It also provides centralized management and global file locking, making it ideal for collaboration. N2WS focuses on strong backup and restore functions, user-friendly management, and seamless AWS compatibility.
Room for Improvement: Nasuni could improve replication speeds, monitoring, and enhance the user interface while also improving integration with platforms like OneDrive. N2WS could optimize for on-premises environments and extend its focus to non-AWS platforms to broaden its market reach.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Nasuni supports hybrid, private, public cloud, and on-premises deployments with mostly satisfactory support, though some delays are noted. N2WS focuses on AWS environments and is praised for its efficient and responsive support team.
Pricing and ROI: Nasuni balances performance and cost with data size-based pricing, offering significant ROI through reduced expenses in traditional infrastructure. N2WS is noted for its reasonable AWS-centric pricing, providing value through labor and time savings in backup management.
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.
