Nasuni vs. SharePoint

SharePoint content sprawl: SharePoint tends to create an unorganized, messy ‘sprawl’ of file data across the organization that, over time, becomes very expensive and difficult to manage. Nasuni has a lifecycle solution for SharePoint to help manage this sprawl once and for all.

Cost overruns: Once you exceed the free capacity included in your Microsoft 365 agreement, expensive overrun fees kick in. At an MSRP of USD $.20/GB/month ($2,457/TB/year) for extra capacity, IT budgets can be severely impacted.

Recovery points and recovery time Limits: Long-term data protection is subject to SharePoint Recycle Bin retention and recovery point limits. In contrast, large-scale file recoveries may require time-consuming calls to Microsoft Support.

Ransomware Risk: There is no real-time detection of known and zero-day ransomware threats, mitigation policies to limit the spread of an attack, or targeted 1-click recovery of only the infected files.

Security and compliance: Without fine-grained permissions and access controls, IT administrators will lose the compliance and central InfoSec oversight they require.

Large file slowdowns: Synchronizing and uploading large files can result in timeouts or slow response times, impacting productivity.

No mapped-drive workflows: Mapped drives (e.g., “Drive M:”), network file share (UNC) paths, and NFS exports are not supported, so applications that require these will not work with SharePoint.

Single-region resiliency limitations: SharePoint uses Azure Locally Redundant Storage (LRS), which doesn’t provide the resilience of multi-zone replication that Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) or Geo-Redundant Storage (GRS) provides, which many organizations require.
