We performed a comparison between MinIO and VAST Data 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."Reliable erasure coding."
"The container installation features are good. The S3 feature provisions the storage buckets making it easy. It allows me to spin up the public buckets with open-source technology."
"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."
"Very good at object retrieval."
"The product does save time for our company."
"The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"The documentation of the solution should improve."
"We had minor bugs occasionally."
"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."
"Its reverse proxy features could be better."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"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 write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
