Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.3
Nasuni offers scalable, user-friendly data storage, efficiently meeting diverse organizational needs and supporting physical or virtual deployments.
Sentiment score
7.4
NetApp AltaVault is scalable and user-friendly, ideal for dynamic data and favored by SMBs despite slower Middle Eastern adoption.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
Sentiment score
7.8
NetApp AltaVault is highly stable with no major issues reported and consistently high stability ratings from users.
 

Room For Improvement

Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
NetApp AltaVault requires better web support, faster indexing, and enhanced integration; some users consider it outdated and uncompetitive.
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.
NetApp AltaVault is considered costly by some users, with licensing averaging $3,000 yearly and notable use cases at $375,000 annually.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
 

Valuable Features

Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
NetApp AltaVault offers easy setup, great support, flexible integration, cost-effective storage, and excels in usability and data management.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

Featured Reviews

Richard McGregor - PeerSpot reviewer
Removes a lot of infrastructure, allows us to restore files instantly, and is simple to work with
I particularly like the restore process. Our financial teams make changes to spreadsheets and other files, and we've got teams using Photoshop files. They make mistakes and need to recover files, and we can do that instantly. We also have users who manage to delete folders, and we can bring them back instantly within a few seconds. Knowing that it's all protected from ransomware is also a very big advantage at the moment with the number of ransomware attacks that you see out there. Nasuni is being very protective of that, which is quite good to hear. There were times when we had to replace the filers we've had issues with, and because we know all our data is protected in AWS, we could just turn them off and spin them up. As quickly as in an hour or so, we were back working with zero downtime. That area of functionality is really good. In terms of ease of management, it's the easiest one you can use. It's very simple. It's very easy to set up, very easy to configure, and very easy to manage.
