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 most valuable feature of MinIO is its ease of use, replication, and active directory. All the capabilities are in this solution."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage."
"The product does save time for our company."
"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."
"Reliable erasure coding."
"The most valuable feature of Scality RING8 is its performance and good interface."
"Another feature I like is the life cycle management that helps me with data storage efficiency."
"I think it's the economic factor. This solution has the lowest cost for storage systems."
"With problems, visibility is hard because everything is in containers. Difficult to get to the logs in order to figure out what the problem was."
"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"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."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"Limited storage provided in the free version."
"The documentation of the solution should improve."
"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."
"When we used this solution in 2015, it was not scalable at all. I don't know if they have improved on that, but at the time, scalability was just horrible."
"Scality RING8 could improve by having more features. We have to use two automation tools to meet our needs. We would prefer to use only one."
"Scality RING is not easy to learn for someone new. It is a little bit difficult. There are a lot of components to it, and you also need to understand them to work with it effectively."
