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."Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"The product does save time for our company."
"Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"The most valuable feature of MinIO is its ease of use, replication, and active directory. All the capabilities are in this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration."
"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."
"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."
"My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"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 easy interface."
"It is a highly scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the unified dashboard, as it allows us to easily observe everything from a single location."
"Currently, the most valuable aspect of our Nutanix implementation is its file storage functionality."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"We had minor bugs occasionally."
"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."
"Limited storage provided in the free version."
"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 scalability is one of the limitations we have found. We are looking for another solution but they must provide the same characteristics, such as an affordable price and continuity."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"Documentation could be improved."
"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."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"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."
"The implementation is a little bit complex and should be made easier."
"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."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
"The management is pretty clunky, in my opinion. It could be a little bit better."
"Unified Storage failed to fulfill our object storage requirements."
