“Nasuni Advances Data Management, but requires customization to deliver true data lifecycle management”

4.0
Sep 26, 2025
We have been using this vendor's services for more than 10 years initially to support our on-premises operations allowing centralized back-end storage and removing the need to duplicate expensive local office SAN/NAS/DAS storage systems and more recently to provide a centralized managed service and applying data retention and disposition capability to classify, tag, and delete data that meets retention criteria. Overall our experience with Nasuni has been positive, with the vendor providing string support for both the product and our requirements to enhance the product to meet the changing needs of our business. The partnership has allowed us to evolve from just providing a way to provide managed unstructured data services to implementing a true data lifecycle management platform.

“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

Meet our requirements to centralize and manage unstructured data and replace traditional file server and file sharing technologies. Backend storage uses cloud native object storage (other object storage can be used) which we do not have to backup as native cloud file protection exists and the product provides snapshots. There is also immutability for ransomware protection. We are able to share data securely with clients in addition to publishing anonymous links to data/files that are designed for public consumption.

Like

IT works well with very limited outages.

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.

Dislike

Relies on legacy file servers for endpoints and would like to see serverless and cloud native options. There is no built-in deletion capability to remove files that have been tagged for deletion so we have had to develop our own scripts to delete the files. The acquisition of Storage Made Easy.

Dislike

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

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.

    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.
