We performed a comparison between MinIO and Nutanix Unified Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two File and Object Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."
"The initial setup was very easy - one click, and it was installed."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"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."
"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"Nutanix's analytics provide better insights into all of our files."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"We can utilize mixed storage block-sized objects and combine various databases within a unified interface."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"I like Nutanix Prism Central. The primary benefit is that we can manage everything from the same page."
"The reliability and availability are the most valuable features. Reliability is important because it can run my workloads. I need to be able to take advantage of the VMs that are executing on the storage. It has to be reliable. It's also important to have the storage available for scaling VMs on demand."
"The most valuable feature is the unified dashboard, as it allows us to easily observe everything from a single location."
"MinIO could use a time patch on it. It could also use better documentation for some languages like Python."
"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 documentation of the solution should improve."
"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 developer support could be better."
"The monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"The current hardware is not as dense as it could be. In our deployment, we have 2 PB per site, and we have to have 24 nodes. That's a lot of cabling and network ports that we use up. More dense nodes would be better."
"The graphical user interface could provide more detail. It would be nice if we could click on the service and get some expanded definitions of them. When hiring new people, it's difficult to teach them how everything works, but if they can access everything, they can teach themselves."
"We have issues with software updates occasionally."
"It is challenging to configure access control settings."
"With all of the Nutanix equipment, the licensing is expensive. We operate in the enterprise space, but we're a midsized company. At times, the price tag is a little bit shocking for a company with only 35 employees."
"We have some problems with Nutanix Unified Storage's support because they asked us to change our hardware."
