MinIO Reviews

MinIO is a very good system, and it's very suitable for people seeking an object storage system that is very similar to Amazon S3 and hosted locally. It's not in production yet, even though we have been working on it for years.

I haven't tested the solution's performance. I haven't done any heavy tests on the platform. We do not use the tool for really big data, but we use it for mid-sized datasets. The solution's performance is good. I can't complain about it because we don't have the best design.

I use the solution's basic object storage functionalities, like AWS S3 compatible APIs and creating buckets.

We use MinIO as a cloud storage solution specifically for our data science team. It helps us share data and organize segregation of duties and security rules based on the S3 API and credentials. We leverage it to manage access and role-based models, among other tasks.

We use MinIO as a cloud storage solution, which is easy to integrate with our data science tools. This means our data scientists can handle extensive data processing and analysis more seamlessly.

My company uses MinIO for storage purposes and as a replacement for Amazon S3.

MinIO has helped speed up the processes carried out by my company's developers.

We host a document store with approximately seven million documents that need to be retained in perpetuity. The documents are used for discovery in legal cases. The document store grows continuously and periodically they have been rehoused due to scalability issues. We selected MinIO because it promises to be a more highly scalable and performant solution than past choices.  We are users of MinIO and I'm the VP of Information Services as well as the company CTO. 

We're currently running MinIO in parallel to an existing object store as we migrate to it. Object retrieval with MinIO is much improved over the prior solution, updates are simple to apply, and we anticipate that future capacity requirements will be easier to meet.  Our customers are using this solution to retrieve tens of thousands of objects (documents and files) per hour, and MinIO seems to be able to keep up with it.  While we migrated all 7 million objects we are performing a byte-by-byte validation before removing them from the old system - a process that is not expected to be completed before the end of the year. From a management perspective, once we get the object store validated, we're going to be able to set up a seamless synchronization with our offsite data store in Amazon S3 with the built-in functionality for mirroring buckets, which will provide a huge improvement over the existing application.

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

The solution should have high availability. Also, support should be quick.

The tool helps our customers store documents with their respective versions. Our solutions work around loan processing, loan origination, loan management, and collections. During the loan application process, there is a lot of documentation involved which needs to be stored. The product handles the document’s versioning and storing.

Our solutions also have a module that does the video KYC of our customers. MinIO saves the actual recording of the video KYC process. We use the tool to store and retrieve documents and videos with proper versioning.

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.

I am a solutions architect. MinIO is a public cloud type of storage that can attach external storage volume. I run it proprietary, or open-source. I use it to run a lot of test instances and production, spinning a new product out of it. In general, I use it for the S3 cloud storage capabilities.

Internally in our company, we have five people that use MinIO by putting their data in and heavily pound it for testing efforts.

With different types of storage, MinIO enables me to create these storage volumes called buckets, this is an S3 type cloud storage, I can attach these cloud buckets to different types of storage and actually create levels, or tiering of options of storage levels. If you were using Dropbox, I can attach a cloud storage volume to that Dropbox and it can be publicly shared as opposed to you having to do a file sync and share with basic storage.

I was using MinIO for my own research and some other work which I cannot disclose.

MinIO has brought more scalability, use of computing resources, and it can lead towards higher cost savings for companies.
