"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."

"The most valuable feature of MinIO is its ease of use, replication, and active directory. All the capabilities are in this solution."
"Very good at object retrieval."
"The tool’s integration is very easy. This feature has helped us reduce development time. The solution also has many out-of-the-box features like versioning support and management of roles and permissions. The product also supports clustered deployment."
"Reliable erasure coding."
"Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes."
"I like Nutanix Prism Central. The primary benefit is that we can manage everything from the same page."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"The scalability, ease of use, and technical support are the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage."

"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"The solution is easy to use, share, and manage."
"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 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."
"Its reverse proxy features could be better."
"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"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."
"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 monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The interface could be improved."
"The documentation on the support site needs to be improved."
