"The features that I have found most valuable with MinIO is its coding bit rot protection and how it distributes the workload over all the servers."
"The tool’s integration is very easy. This feature has helped us reduce development time. The solution also has many out-of-the-box features like versioning support and management of roles and permissions. The product also supports clustered deployment."
"The product does save time for our company."
"I like that if you have a problem, you can buy the home server. It is stable and robust."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"The initial setup was straightforward as MinIO provided good support documentation and took a couple of days to complete."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."

"The customer service executives of all Nutanix products are active and responsive."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."

"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Unified Storage is redundancy."
"The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."

"The monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved."
"The product's security is open by default, without any SSL."

"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"The graphical user interface could provide more detail. It would be nice if we could click on the service and get some expanded definitions of them. When hiring new people, it's difficult to teach them how everything works, but if they can access everything, they can teach themselves."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster."
