We performed a comparison between MinIO and Pure Storage FlashBlade 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."Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"The initial setup was very easy - one click, and it was installed."
"The most valuable feature of MinIO is its ease of use, replication, and active directory. All the capabilities are in this solution."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"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."
"Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"I like that if you have a problem, you can buy the home server. It is stable and robust."
"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."
"It uses the same platform for connectivity so integration is seamless."
"It performs well and it is also very fast."
"Speed and ease of use are the two most valuable features."
"The main feature I have found to be product replication."
"The ease of deployment and management has helped us simplify our storage. We also do not have to worry about capacity management as much. A lot of these things are native to Pure Storage."
"It helps simplify our storage, because the user interface is very simple and the installation is easy."
"We have seen a reduction in the total cost of ownership by around 20%."
"It has absolutely simplified our storage because the dashboards on the consoles show a clear understanding of where you are, and it is also very easy to provision. This been a big help for our teams."
"The product's security is open by default, without any SSL."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"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 solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"The documentation of the solution should improve."
"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."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved."
"Compared to, for example, Hitachi NAS, the solution is not mature at all. It's just in its infancy as far as technology goes."
"File storage needs a lot of improvement. Mainframe connectivity also needs improvement because it requires additional components to be integrated with Pure Storage FlashBlade. If you want to keep your backup data, then this becomes an even more expensive solution because Pure Storage FlashBlade will not be able to meet your backup needs."
"I have not seen ROI."
"I would like to see more monitoring capability included in the next release of this solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"They need better integration with public clouds along with a better hybrid solution."
"The feature that we're waiting on is better integration with the cell services."
"I would like to see more deduplication."
