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."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 initial setup was straightforward as MinIO provided good support documentation and took a couple of days to complete."
"Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"MinIO can work with attributes and folders, and it has the ability to use a stream approach for files. I have moments that should work exclusively. It also has some management features you can use, like exclusive locks that you can perform on one record or a collection."
"Very good at object retrieval."
"The most valuable features are that MinIO is open, it works on-premise, and is compatible with the Amazon industry which is great for finding compatible libraries in many languages which is very good for developers."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"Using this solution has made our backups more reliable."
"The tool's most valuable features are data warehousing, speedy recovery, and analytics. Its latest release is cost-effective."
"The main feature I have found to be product replication."
"The initial setup is pretty quick."
"It uses the same platform for connectivity so integration is seamless."
"The initial setup is pretty easy and simple."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the rewrite speed and the nonstop services."
"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 product's security is open by default, without any SSL."
"Its reverse proxy features could be better."
"The scalability is one of the limitations we have found. We are looking for another solution but they must provide the same characteristics, such as an affordable price and continuity."
"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."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"The MinIO dashboard is minimal as there are only a couple of features inside the dashboard for a basic user. I would like this to be more robust with more click-around features."
"There is a lack of good addons to integrate without having to use third-party applications."
"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 feature that we're waiting on is better integration with the cell services."
"The speed could be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"There could be improvements in public cloud integration."
"On our dedupe during our initial buy, we were expecting a number a little higher like 4x. However, we are getting about 3.6. While it is close enough, it doesn't quite hit the numbers. So, this has been a challenge."
"I would like to see more monitoring capability included 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."
"It would be beneficial if the layer could support the S3 protocol and be container ready in the next release."
