Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Nasuni, Google and others in Cloud Storage."Dropbox is easy to set up as it doesn't require any installation, just a download."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the ability to access files and documents from any device, anywhere."
"Offers great flexibility."
"It offers security, accessibility, and user-friendly features."
"The features that I find most valuable are the ability to sync across devices, easily access/share files and organize them among myself and my team."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The scalability is great for us."
"The solution is very clear and easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"The only thing I have had trouble with is the ability to share files. The recipients of my requests have had difficulty accessing the files."
"Dropbox could be improved by reducing the storage price."
"Dropbox could make the installation and the log of what has changed in a file easier. Showing logs could be more accessible."
"A room for improvement in Dropbox is document editing. It would be nice to have the functionality of editing the document with other people at the same time. This is something that can be done on Office 365, and it's a feature I'd like to see in the next release of Dropbox."
"There is room for improvement in Dropbox's security measures."
"They should archive the data."
"The solution could be more scalable."
"The solution could provide more capacity for free."
"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."
"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."
