MinIO Valuable Features

Ashis Parajuli - PeerSpot reviewer
Vice President, Artificial Intelligence at DLytica Inc.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it offers features similar to the ones offered by Amazon S3. In my company, we needed a tool that we could deploy on a hybrid environment consisting of a private cloud. The solution's use in a hybrid environment is great.

The retrieval performance of objects with MinIO is significantly higher than a lot of the alternatives we investigated. We're able to use  Amazon's SDK to interact with it, and the SDK support is excellent. The included MC tool is not only good at administering MinIO, it is also good for administering our S3 buckets, as it's actually more capable than Amazon's own tool. Updates are also very simple and easy. We've done numerous updates since the deployment and the platform stays online throughout, which is an unexpected bonus. I think in terms of other useful functionality, there are some very good things about it.

The container installation features are good. The S3 feature provisions the storage buckets making it easy. It allows me to spin up the public buckets with open-source technology.

Another valuable feature of MinIO is Erasure Coding which is comparable to enterprise-based systems.

The features that I have found most valuable with MinIO is its coding bit rot protection and how it distributes the workload over all the servers. I observed that the workload is very even in all the nodes.

The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable.

I like that if you have a problem, you can buy the home server. It is stable and robust.

This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage solution. It provides high throughput to access data. We tend to use AI and some of the resource-intensive applications related to data, like analysis and visualization. I like the S3 API.

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.

Product Owner at a tech company with 1,001-5,000 employees

The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage and that was a major feature for us. 

We were using Presto, a query engine, which out-of-the-box connects to MinIO. 

MinIO provides APIs which have extensive documentation. 

The solution also has a good UI. During the development phase team sometimes needed to go through the data structure to see how data was getting stored. The UI helped us to debug the data quickly.

MinIO is easy to understand, simple to implement and provides a good feature set.

The solution has a good interface. We initially used several commands for configuring in the Docker Compose to create the default bucket and to make it public. It was pretty easy to use and fulfilled our requirements. It's quite powerful.

The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration. I do not have a system administrator in my project, so the simplicity of management is important to me.

MinIO's most valuable feature is that we can send a lot of detail in the bottom of the core of the end-point, in a way that is easy and interactive. It also 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. And inside that, you can make the bucket manually. You can also access it through the command-line interface. Using the command interface, you can perform a complete set of operations — create the bucket, open it, read the data, delete those buckets, etc. — and it is pretty fast
