We performed a comparison between MinIO and Pure Storage FlashBlade based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two File and Object Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage."
"The most valuable feature of MinIO is its ease of use, replication, and active directory. All the capabilities are in this solution."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"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."
"I like that if you have a problem, you can buy the home server. It is stable and robust."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"We can capacity plan at a greater level than we used to."
"The onboarding and integrated monitoring tools are pretty good."
"It helps simplify our storage, because the user interface is very simple and the installation is easy."
"The solution is able to handle workloads and is easy to use. It allows us to actually manage the boxes in less time."
"I would rate this solution an eight plus. It has has good flexibility and stability, it's easy to manage and the response time is good."
"It has absolutely simplified our storage because the dashboards on the consoles show a clear understanding of where you are, and it is also very easy to provision. This been a big help for our teams."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is performance."
"The most valuable features are the Metro clustering, and disaster recovery."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"There should be the ability to expand the size after it has already been deployed. Currently, you cannot do that. It doesn't support an increase in size. Each time we spawn a new MinIO, we need to track the particular MinIO instance or tenant that has the file. Therefore, we had to create a multi-tenant solution that tracks the MinIO that has our artifacts. It isn't in one single instance. It should have better multi-tenancy support."
"The developer support could be better."
"There is a lack of good addons to integrate without having to use third-party applications."
"The solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"Documentation could be improved."
"The tool’s pricing needs to improve. We also encountered challenges while deploying the tool in Kubernetes. The documentation also was not too great. We have currently deployed the solution in a stand-alone fashion."
"I have not seen ROI."
"I would like to have Snapshots and Snapmail in the next release. People who came from a NetApp background, especially expect these features."
"Pure Storage FlashBlade should improve on more cloud integration."
"I would like to see more monitoring capability included in the next release of this solution."
"The technical support needs to improve. When we open a case, it is auto assigned to a support tech person. Nine out of ten times, we get an email right back saying that person is off until tomorrow. I cannot handle that. They just did this over the weekend to us, too. I had to call our rep and have them do something about it."
"I would like to see more VM-Aware features in the next release of this solution."
"In terms of scalability, it doesn't expand out quite as robustly as some of the others, but it covers 90% of the market in what it does."
"The features provided for SMB customers are limited."
