We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We are using Content Platform for data migration, and it integrates with our HNS platform. This is good because we can integrate it with our existing HNS and SAP solutions. The GUI is also user-friendly. It doesn't take much time to do anything. If we know the architecture and the steps, we can do what we need with a few clicks.""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.""The way that they handle the DR is very good because when there is a failover, it is seamless to the users.""The most valuable features of the solution are the versioning and the ransomware protection.""The product provides the fastest technology.""As an architect, I like the management features that come with Hitachi Content Platform because it makes things easy.""Integrating Hitachi Content Platform with existing systems is not challenging.""Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product."

"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions.""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.""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.""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 feature is the ease of management and administration.""Reliable erasure coding.""This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."

Cons
"What is lacking in this solution is a simple process to migrate from existing systems.""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.""At present, it is complicated to use the CLI command.""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.""There is room for improvement in the capacity for integration with other platforms.""This product's ability to track logs for access still needs to be improved.""They should improve the user interface. It's a little bit complex. It does not have a self-learning method. You need to know how to use it before you touch the system. The user interface is not self-explanatory.""The solution could use more integration with clouds."

More Hitachi Content Platform Cons →

"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users.""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.""The monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved.""We had minor bugs occasionally.""Its reverse proxy features could be better.""There is a lack of good addons to integrate without having to use third-party applications.""The developer support could be better.""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."

    Reviews from Real Users

    MinIO stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its flexibility, integration options, and performance.

    Süleyman Fazıl Y., a senior software engineer at a tech services company, writes, “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.”

    Rebecca S., CTO at NIASE, says, “MinIO is much improved over the prior solution, updates are simple to apply, and we anticipate that future capacity requirements will be easier to meet. Our customers are using this solution to retrieve tens of thousands of objects (documents and files) per hour, and MinIO seems to be able to keep up with it.”
