"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 initial setup was very easy - one click, and it was installed."
"Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"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 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."
"The solution is easy to use, share, and manage."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"The reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable. It's also important to have the storage available for scaling VMs on demand."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"The most valuable feature is the unified dashboard, as it allows us to easily observe everything from a single location."
"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."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"Its reverse proxy features could be better."
"Documentation could be improved."
"The solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"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."
"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."
"The developer support could be better."
"The Distributed User Interface (DUI) needs some work. It's hard to view a large set of data on the DUI. It's an issue with the DUI's performance."
"What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices."
"The interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler."
"Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."
"The graphical user interface could provide more detail. It would be nice if we could click on the service and get some expanded definitions of them. When hiring new people, it's difficult to teach them how everything works, but if they can access everything, they can teach themselves."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"The interface could be improved."
