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."The stability of MinIO is good."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"The most valuable feature of MinIO is its ease of use, replication, and active directory. All the capabilities are in this solution."
"The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage."
"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."
"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"The initial setup was very easy - one click, and it was installed."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"The solution is very easy to manage."
"Nutanix Unified Storage does a very good job of unifying our organization's block, file, and object storage. It puts it all in one place. From one platform, we can deploy S3-type buckets. We can provide iSCSI-level block storage if we need to. It does a great job with home folders and departmental shares, which is what we mostly use Nutanix Unified Storage for."
"Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality."
"My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much."
"The most valuable features are the interface and support."
"We can utilize mixed storage block-sized objects and combine various databases within a unified interface."
"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"The developer support could be better."
"The product's security is open by default, without any SSL."
"MinIO has behaved strangely in the past. For instance, the application dropped connection to MinIO. It's not too significant, but it loses connection. We're trying to understand exactly what is happening when this happens."
"There is a lack of good addons to integrate without having to use third-party applications."
"With problems, visibility is hard because everything is in containers. Difficult to get to the logs in order to figure out what the problem was."
"MinIO could use a time patch on it. It could also use better documentation for some languages like Python."
"We had minor bugs occasionally."
"From a management side, the one thing I would prefer is if it were a bit less expensive for smaller enterprises. It's a bit costly. If they provided flexible modules where you could pick and choose features, and only pay for what you use, that would be an improvement."
"The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
"The management is pretty clunky, in my opinion. It could be a little bit better."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"The interface could be improved."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."
