Has many out-of-the-box features like versioning support and management of roles and permissions

Pros

"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. "

Cons

"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."

Has good container installation features

Pros

"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."

Cons

"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."

Bit rot protection and beautifully designed interface.

Pros

"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."

Cons

"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
