"The virtual machine configuration tool is very helpful for setting up a new server or for modifying an existing server."
"The most valuable features are the simple scalability and ease of starting a new virtual machine."
"Because of the way that their pricing model is set up, I can scale up or down the size of a customer's server very easily. It makes life very easy for me when they run out of space, need more speed or RAM, etc. I can very easily pay the difference and reboot the machine, and now I have the upgrade that I wanted. That just makes it extremely simple."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration."
"The product does save time for our company."
"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."
"Very good at object retrieval."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"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."

"There is no notification from the company regarding upgrades."
"Its cost can be improved."
"I've had some difficulties with some of their IP addresses being banned by certain mail servers."
"It would be helpful if they provided the additional Linux distributions that I prefer using. But there is still a workaround. I can do it without direct support. It's a bit more complicated, but it can still be done."
"They don't have role-based access control, which is problematic for us."
"I would like to see more seamless integration with backup, although it's pretty easy to do."
"Our primary concern is always the latency."
"Everything is up-to-date for a small business. But for big business, they need to improve certain things. For example, there should be better security."
"The solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"The developer support could be better."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"There is a lack of good addons to integrate without having to use third-party applications."
"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."
"MinIO could use a time patch on it. It could also use better documentation for some languages like Python."
