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."As an architect, I like the management features that come with Hitachi Content Platform because it makes things easy."
"The Hitachi Content Platform is a stable and reliable solution."
"Feature-wise, it has a lot of features. The most valuable features include de-duplication, encryption, version controlling, support, and tamper-proof data."
"The features that I have found most valuable are their retention logs. The other thing I have found most valuable is the way they handle the BHEA. Basically the DNS and everything is managed by itself. It is seamless to the users."
"Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product."
"Integrating Hitachi Content Platform with existing systems is not challenging."
"The product provides the fastest technology."
"The way that they handle the DR is very good because when there is a failover, it is seamless to the users."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"The most valuable feature of MinIO is its ease of use, replication, and active directory. All the capabilities are in this solution."
"Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"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 solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage."
"Hitachi Content Platform is a complicated solution. You need to put several pieces of the hardware together in order to achieve the capacity or the performance needed."
"This product's ability to track logs for access still needs to be improved."
"At present, it is complicated to use the CLI command."
"In terms of the customer support, I can say it's a mixed reaction depending on the country."
"The user interface isn't as user-friendly, and the management platform UI isn't as intuitive as others. So it can be more user-friendly."
"What is lacking in this solution is a simple process to migrate from existing systems."
"The solution could use more integration with clouds."
"When you want to replace a disk, we need to start the maintenance from the S nodes. We have to automate maintenance so any onsite engineer can replace it after that, but we don't need to do this on VSP platforms. An engineer can come in and replace that specific disk. If also we could do that on Hitachi Content Platform, it would be great for us."
"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."
"There is a lack of good addons to integrate without having to use third-party applications."
"Limited storage provided in the free version."
"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."
"MinIO could use a time patch on it. It could also use better documentation for some languages like Python."
"The monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved."
"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."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
