“Technical Issues Addressed Promptly Following Initial Performance Concerns With Platform”

5.0
Nov 10, 2025
I was initially a skeptic, when I joined the company there were performance questions around the product and a large proportion of the company wanted to replace the Nasuni platform with alternative products. After articulating our issues and concerns about what we were seeing, the customer success team mobilised a task-force of technicians, developers and a project manager to address our concerns. It turned out the main performance issue was caused by a misconfiguration on our part - this was quickly identified and rectified by the team. In addition to the headline problem, we also did a deeper dive into our performance concerns and all of these were addressed one by one. From my many previous experiences with multiple technology suppliers, spanning many years of trouble-shooting and escalating to the deep technical resources of storage product manufacturers this told me I was dealing with one of the 'good' ones. The best measure of a product/support organisation is what they do when presented with a difficult problem. The ones you want to work with are the ones that jump into the trenches with you, take ownership of the problem, and come back to you with good technical answers and actionable solutions.

“Support needs to improve, cross office does not work, otherwise it works well.”

Nasuni support has varied from very good to very poor. Nasuni could not deliver all that they promised. There file locking was very problematic and they claimed other customers were not having the problems we were having. Later the confessed others were having those problems. There documentation is missing important pieces. Generally there system works for file storage. There offering has been changing so we are looking at other options.

Nasuni File Data Platform Likes & Dislikes

Like

The ability to globally synchronise our production data simplifies our workflow. The product sync is monitored proactively 24x7. We have ransomware protection - this gives us peace of mind, particularly at a time when high-profile brands have suffered severe financial damage from cybersecurity breaches.

Like

IT works well with very limited outages.

Like

- Global file system that actually scales. UniFS keeps the authoritative file system in object storage (S3, Azure Blob) so capacity, versions and locations aren't in by an appliance. - Lower TCO by consolidating NAS backup. Centralize file data in cloud object storage and serve it via edge caches, often cutting infrastructure costs (Nasuni cites up to ~67%) while shrinking backup windows and hardware sprawl. - Edge performance with simple ops. Virtual edge appliances cache hot data for LAN-speed SMB/NFS access while the cloud holds the golden copy. It plugs into AD/LDAP and supports standard protocols, keeping day-2 ops familiar.

Dislike

Eventual/ongoing data sync cannot flag that a data sub-tree is fully synchronised. Caching/pinning to a filer blocks synchronisation of locally written data back to the volume. Triage/prioritisation of up/down traffic isn't available in the UI.

Dislike

Support is often poor. They need to improve documentation. Price is high for what you really get.

Dislike

- there is no Nasuni file move tool, you need a third party solution for that - with Nasuni I get a significant compression ratio on user data but I still need to pay License per TB for the uncompressed amount of data - Bandwidth planning is mandatory. Initial cache warm-ups, large restores, or multi-TB project on-boarding can saturate WAN links if you dont throttle or stage transfers. Cloud vendor guidance for file services consistently ties performance and user experience to proximity and bandwidth (and, when possible, private circuits like ExpressRoute), reinforcing the need to plan pipes before big rollouts.

    Nasuni provides a robust file system that has immediate backups available. When users have lost files we find it easy and quick to restore files. The filers are easy to setup and useful to cache files locally across our international sites to increase data access speeds.
