Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes."
"What I like most about Nutanix Files Storage is the way it makes copies of the data. The solution also has high availability, which is excellent. Another valuable feature of Nutanix Files Storage is self-service, so users won't have to depend on the IT team much."
"The customer service executives of all Nutanix products are active and responsive."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"Nutanix Objects is reliable."
"The solution is simple and robust."
"This has been one of the most reliable storage systems that I have ever used."
"The solution is useful for machine learning and scientific applications, including computer simulations."
"Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"The only thing I would say is missing for us it is FTP protocol compatibility."
"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."
"What's missing in Nutanix Files Storage is the support for multiple intranets or VLANs on the same file from different networks and network devices."
"While they are good and they do work, some of the snapshotting and tiering features are not as simple to set up as they could be."
"We would love to see the analytics and ransomware protection extended beyond just file servers to virtual machines, but they have a different product that covers that."
"The read/write ratio is an area in the solution with some flaws and needs improvement."
"The write performance could be improved because it is less than half of the read performance."
