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."Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"The initial setup was straightforward as MinIO provided good support documentation and took a couple of days to complete."
"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. It also has some management features you can use, like exclusive locks that you can perform on one record or a collection."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"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."
"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."
"This is an all-in-one, user-friendly data storage."
"I appreciate its storage licensing model, as it offers flexibility."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"The scalability, ease of use, and technical support are the most valuable features of Nutanix Unified Storage."
"I like Nutanix Prism Central. The primary benefit is that we can manage everything from the same page."
"The solution is stable and extremely easy to calibrate."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is a simple, user-friendly, and stable solution."
"They have well-documented best practices and the interface is good."
"Nutanix Unified Storage is easy to use. New employees are able to come up to speed fairly quickly with regard to the day-to-day administration processes."
"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."
"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 only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"With problems, visibility is hard because everything is in containers. Difficult to get to the logs in order to figure out what the problem was."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"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."
"Limited storage provided in the free version."
"The GUI is easy to use, but it's complex to do tasks from the command line. That is one way they could simplify things for the engineers. People tend to use a graphical interface more than the command line interface. If anything goes wrong, we need to do troubleshooting from the CLI. It would be nice if there were more ways to fix issues within the GUI."
"The solution should keep adding new features to be competitive in the market."
"Customer service is more difficult to call and they do not responding as much as, for example, DataCore. It's not the same level of satisfaction compared to DataCore. Responses could be faster."
"The feature request I have is for the consistent improvement of how user account permissions are assigned in Nutanix Unified Storage."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"The solution should increase its storage capabilities."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"The escalation process with technical support could do with some improvement."
