More Huawei FusionStorage Pros →

"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents.""The initial setup was straightforward as MinIO provided good support documentation and took a couple of days to complete.""The product does save time for our company.""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.""Reliable erasure coding.""The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage.""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.

Cons
"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced.""The product needs improvement in terms of affordability.""Their cloud services could be improved.""I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"MinIO could use a time patch on it. It could also use better documentation for some languages like Python.""Its reverse proxy features could be better.""There should be the ability to expand the size after it has already been deployed. Currently, you cannot do that. It doesn't support an increase in size. Each time we spawn a new MinIO, we need to track the particular MinIO instance or tenant that has the file. Therefore, we had to create a multi-tenant solution that tracks the MinIO that has our artifacts. It isn't in one single instance. It should have better multi-tenancy support.""Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users.""The product's security is open by default, without any SSL.""The scalability is one of the limitations we have found. We are looking for another solution but they must provide the same characteristics, such as an affordable price and continuity.""Documentation could be improved.""Limited storage provided in the free version."

    Reviews from Real Users

    MinIO stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Several major ones are its flexibility, integration options, and performance.

    Süleyman Fazıl Y., a senior software engineer at a tech services company, writes, “The most valuable features are that MinIO is open, it works on-premise, and is compatible with the Amazon industry which is great for finding compatible libraries in many languages which is very good for developers.”

    Rebecca S., CTO at NIASE, says, “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.”
