Instead of having to store all of our files on our servers here, we are able to make the NAS big enough to store what we need and some extra, while being able to keep the data that we don't use very often in cloud, but still accessible for when we do need it. There are a few things that can be worked on to make it even better, but this software is a great addition to any company that may have storage need limitations or if they need to keep files synced between multiple sites. We also have a second site which needed to be kept up to date with all of the files and this software made it easy because you put it in at 1 site and it will replicate over to the other site as well. ----- ### "Morro Data" — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *20 April 2021* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We setup cache drives in offices located in two different cities. Setup is very easy and the drives have worked very reliably. We were able to integrate with our on-prem ActiveDirectory, enabled DFS drive mapping, then moved files over from our file server. It's been very smooth sailing ever since. Having multiple backups of files automatically available has saved us many times. > > **Cons**: There aren't too many things I haven't been happy with. We do sometimes run into files (PDF in particular) where we wish we could see who has a read/write lock on the file, as we could in Windows Server. > > We're sharing Autocad DWG files, including complex xreference hierarchies between offices. We were very concerned going in about how well this would work, but for the most part it has been really great. The few times that we've had issues, Morro's tech support has been extremely responsive and able to solve the problems quickly. ----- ### "CloudNAS great idea, needs more time" — 3.0/5 > **Grant** | *4 December 2018* | Nanotechnology | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is easy to setup and install. Web-based, the application is easy to understand and configure. Attachment to on-premise AD was extremely easy and effective. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately in our test case, performance was poor, compared to a local file server. After some analysis, MorroData determined that we had a large amount of small files. Apparently, their cloud caching algorithms have a bias towards larger and fewer files. They said they have a fix coming soon. > > We are trying to solve the problem of cloud-backed, but NAS presented file shares. We need the speed of local network access, but desire a time-based tiering as well as backups and multiple location access. Similar to a Nasuni, but on a much smaller scale. Microsoft has AzureFS, but does not automatically download new files to all locations, pre-staging the data for fast access. MorroData seems to cover everything. ----- ### "One of the best Network storage services you can have that covers ALL the bases." — 5.0/5 > **Michael** | *8 April 2021* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of setup and the common sense ease of backup and the ability to make easy changes and see the "flow" of everything all in the software. Love the sharing and the restrictions you can put on it. Love the software app on your devices to access the cloud when you are away from your LAN. And the ease of use to get to the cloud when you don't have access to either of the above\!\! > > **Cons**: I wish on the cloud version you could download from it. You can't but you can "share" which is very cool and limit what the person can do. So if I want to download it when I am away from my LAN and I don't have the APP on the PC I make be using I just share it. If I am on my LAN, it is just like a network drive though and if I am off of my LAN there is a software on my LAPTOP/Surface. > > Been great and all of my clients love it\! We offer to our clients and of course we are a user. ----- ### "Customer experience on product" — 5.0/5 > **Wendy** | *22 June 2023* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Product is stable. Easy to use. No maintenance effort is required. Migration is easy. Excellent technical support. > > **Cons**: Can't think of any negative points. Maybe the company is small and the use model is simple so we have not really stretch the product to the limit. > > Migration from the previous product is seamless, and painless. Use model fits the existing model. Technical support is excellent. The product is very stable. Update process is easy. Pretty much no maintenance effort is required. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/263353/morro-cloudnas-cloud-manager?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/263353/morro-cloudnas-cloud-manager) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
