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."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."
"Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"Reliable erasure coding."
"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."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."
"Nutanix has excellent product documentation available on their portals, written in simple, easy-to-understand language."
"My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"Nutanix Unified Storage does a very good job of unifying our organization's block, file, and object storage. It puts it all in one place. From one platform, we can deploy S3-type buckets. We can provide iSCSI-level block storage if we need to. It does a great job with home folders and departmental shares, which is what we mostly use Nutanix Unified Storage for."
"We can utilize mixed storage block-sized objects and combine various databases within a unified interface."
"The most important point is the simplicity of the API integration. We can leverage the API integrations and connect our hybrid-cloud network environment with Nutanix's cloud storage."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"The most valuable feature is the unified dashboard, as it allows us to easily observe everything from a single location."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"The monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The documentation of the solution should improve."
"Limited storage provided in the free version."
"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."
"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 solution should increase its storage capabilities."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"Nutanix should improve the one-click upgrade. There are a lot of dependencies on third-party licenses and HP hardware we use internally. The one-click upgrade fails sometimes."
"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 graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"I would like to see the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. That could definitely be a major breakthrough in providing a unified, seamless experience for end-users. It could reduce costs as well as human effort."
"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."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
