Considered Both Products
Nasuni
Chose Nasuni
I am not sure if we looked into any other cloud storage applications or software. But I do highly recommend Nasuni. If you have feedback, they actually listen. We even got to meet with the founder and he listened to a lot of our feedback. Whether or not they will implement and …
Chose Nasuni
The technical support and escalation path for Nasuni is much more reliable and efficient. No getting transferred to various teams. Often times, the person who answers your call is able to resolve your issue. If they cannot, they get the case assigned to the appropriate …
WeTransfer
Chose WeTransfer
I did not choose to use Image Relay, the client did. I really like Image Relay and the fact that you can organize files in different folders, but not the fact that you have to create an account, have access to all the files and folders, and remind passwords. With WeTransfer …
Chose WeTransfer
WeTransfer doesn't require storage. You just send the files and you're done!
Chose WeTransfer
Dropbox is too complex and unreliable to use. I have had many headaches with files not downloading properly, going missing or not opening. I have to spend a lot of time to figure out what I need to do. And just as you think you have everything under control, you set up a nice …
Chose WeTransfer
While Dropbox is more robust with storage and ways to share, it's often cumbersome to send files, especially with clients that don't use Dropbox. WeTransfer sends my clients a link that results in an immediate download - no fuss, no having to log in. The process is much easier, …
Chose WeTransfer
Both solutions work fairly seamlessly. But we prefer Dropbox because we can more easily track our files across devices and across the organization. They are equal when it comes to sending files, but receiving files is where some friction points/frustration points arise.
Chose WeTransfer
WeTransfer is much faster and cuts out a lot of the extra steps of the other services we've used. It can automatically email the recipient when the file upload is done, cutting out a step.
Chose WeTransfer
We actually use both other platforms because we may be required to by our clients or vendors. I find We Transfer easier to use especially remotely - quicker to upload and send.
Chose WeTransfer
Dropbox is a terrible and slow service, so WeTransfer is the far better option between the two. Google Drive isn't as professional as WeTransfer (in my opinion) so using WeTransfer might be the better option.
Chose WeTransfer
The listed alternative are also very good but we have specifically used WeTransfer for it's simple and straight to the point file hosting. All of the above services require registration and WeTransfer doesn't. We can just send our files quickly and call it a day. The files …
Chose WeTransfer
While Dropbox does offer features that WeTransfer does not in terms of collaboration & organization, WeTransfer is the better option for simple file transfers. In my experience, WeTransfer is much faster for uploads & downloads. The premium version of WeTransfer also offers a …

Likelihood to Recommend
It is great for organizations that do not want to be limited to the size of their storage appliance. Since the hardware is used primarily as a cache, there is no cap of the amount of data. Anything beyond the cache size gets stored in the cloud, and Nasuni has advanced logic that ensures the most active data stays in cache, so performance is not impacted.

I would definitely recommend WeTransfer - especially the paid version. I feel like all of the shortcomings with the free service (file size limit & content deletion after 7 days) are all fixed when you upgrade your account, and the service is not very expensive. It only costs $12/monthly or $120/annually. WeTransfer makes it so easy to send files, and the additional features such as creating a link to your content & password protection are great. Very straightforward & easy to use.

Pros
  • The management console is extremely simple and easy to navigate, making common tasks easy to do.
  • Our storage appliance is configured to snapshot data several times an hour, making the risk of data loss very low.
  • Data restores are very intuitive, and take seconds to initiate regardless of whether it is one file or 300GB of data. We have successfully restored many Gigs of data in minutes.

Usability
As I mentioned, the user interface is amazing and straight forward. It's very easy to learn how to configure and restore files. I would like a bit more reporting, especially in terms of live reporting and monitoring. The support is great when you have a question on how to do something, which helps with usability.

It's smooth, simple, no problems for sending large files. Receiving files is more complicated and has some friction points to be worked out.

Performance
Again, it may have a little to do with the size and speed of your own environment, but we've been nothing but pleased with the speed of access of the files - even pulling old files from the cloud storage. Recovery of huge and many data files is a bit slow if you don't have the specs of the filer up to snuff.

WeTransfer is extremely reliable 99% of the time. There has been twice in 4 years that their service was unavailable due to server outage for several hours.

I've only reached out to WeTransfer support once, but they were prompt, courteous, and answered my question. I assume that future interactions would be the same, I'm looking forward to being a long term customer.

I did not choose to use Image Relay, the client did. I really like Image Relay and the fact that you can organize files in different folders, but not the fact that you have to create an account, have access to all the files and folders, and remind passwords. With WeTransfer skipping all these requirements, it is way easier and faster.

  • I can work faster since it's easy to use and reliable. Some other file transfer platforms have failed me and are too complex to manage.
  • I keep my clients happy - never have they had any issues with a transfer.
  • It is not an exclusive use platform, so I can use it with everyone - even new clients.
