Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Nasuni, Google and others in Cloud Storage."Box is very realistic when it comes to sharing capabilities."
"The solution is scalable."
"The ability to collaborate around data anywhere, anytime is the most powerful features of Box."
"You can upload your bin, upload your files quickly, and download your files quickly. It provides a lot of other alternatives."
"The application is very light in terms of uploading and downloading files."
"I like the ease of use."
"Simple file sharing and sync for internal and external customers."
"File sharing with collaborators not on the same domain with offline access from multiple devices: I work on many projects that are multi-organizational, such as with customers, suppliers, or acquisitions."
"Storage was taking up maybe 10 to 20% of my life at the startup, and now it takes up zero. I was personally running all the infrastructure for the company. Now that we've moved to NetApp, I don't have to worry about making sure it's up and running. It's made my life personally much better."
"In terms of its storage snapshot efficiencies, the service is highly efficient. We are only doing things in small batches right now because we have not converted all of the data, but we have tested them in the Google Cloud and they work efficiently."
"High availability is very important to us because we have a production environment. High availability is the highest priority for us to continue keeping our systems running."
"Better integration with other solutions is needed."
"I would love to see the ability to invite collaborators extended to a file level, not just the folder level."
"The solution's data security should be improved."
"Working on documents in real-time is sometimes faulty and could be improved."
"The integration with other products should be improved."
"Tasks and comments could be easier to see, report, search, and manage."
"Data privacy, regarding where to store your data: Offering several transparent(!) options (where to store my data and whether to sync back or not and where to sync) regarding the local law situations (USA, EU, Switzerland!) would increase the credibility of a US based company (after NSA ‘snooping’)."
"The search features and role permissions are not very user friendly. It only searches the first few pages of a document, which is quite a problem."
"It would help if they increased the area in which they employ artificial intelligence, by starting to do assessments on the environments, to project those. They're not using any AI tools, currently, on the administrative side."
"I would like for the sales team to get in contact more often and let me know what I should be doing next, what we should be doing about new features. So it would be nice if I heard a little bit more from him. From a technology perspective, I have no complaints."
"The user interface has room for improvement. We would like this service to be more integrated with Azure, which is very easy to manage and use. It was easy to create volumes and add capacity pools in Azure, but in Google Cloud, we can only create separate volumes. We need more management or configuration options in the user interface."
