We performed a comparison between MinIO and Nutanix Unified Storage 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."Very good at object retrieval."
"The initial setup was very easy - one click, and it was installed."
"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."
"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."
"Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration."
"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."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"The Nutanix block files are the most valuable feature."
"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."
"We have been able to save local disk space by using Data Lens. We upload 18 GB to the cloud and are able to save 20% to 25%."
"The most valuable feature is the easy interface."
"The real-time alerts generated by this system enable us to swiftly address and mitigate such threats."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"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 monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved."
"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."
"The developer support could be better."
"MinIO could use a time patch on it. It could also use better documentation for some languages like Python."
"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."
"With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees."
"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 interface is not logical. It should be a little simpler."
"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."
"The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
"The GUI is not user-friendly for new users and has room for improvement."
"The solution is very expensive."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
