"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"The initial setup was straightforward as MinIO provided good support documentation and took a couple of days to complete."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration."
"Reliable erasure coding."
"Workflow is easy to manage and maintain."
"The technology is stable which is good."
"The product's security is open by default, without any SSL."
"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."
"MinIO could use a time patch on it. It could also use better documentation for some languages like Python."
"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."
"Its reverse proxy features 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."
"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 solution lacks documentation."
"Lacks some ability to integrate with different systems."
"We would like to see a self-sufficient installation."
