"The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration."
"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."

"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."
"My opinion is that this solution has very good stability."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"The integration with Prism Central makes it a lot easier to manage, so we just have a single pane of glass location that we can go to. We do not have a separate admin console or anything that we have to use."
"What I found most valuable in Nutanix Files Storage is its high availability and ability to scale out with many VMs."
"Unified Storage's centralized management features enable us to accomplish whatever we want in terms of operations and migrations."
"We can utilize mixed storage block-sized objects and combine various databases within a unified interface."
"They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"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 solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"There is a lack of good addons to integrate without having to use third-party applications."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The developer support could be better."
"Documentation could be improved."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"I would like to see the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. That could definitely be a major breakthrough in providing a unified, seamless experience for end-users. It could reduce costs as well as human effort."
"Allowing the use of the Gflag compromises the integrity of the Nutanix system and its established standards."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"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."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
"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."
"Improving quota policies would be advantageous, particularly by offering the option to implement blocking instead of just issuing warnings."
