We performed a comparison between Hitachi Content Platform and MinIO 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 features that I have found most valuable are their retention logs. The other thing I have found most valuable is the way they handle the BHEA. Basically the DNS and everything is managed by itself. It is seamless to the users."
"Integrating Hitachi Content Platform with existing systems is not challenging."
"Companies can scale the solution."
"Hitachi is a big company, so it's a very strong product."
"Feature-wise, it has a lot of features. The most valuable features include de-duplication, encryption, version controlling, support, and tamper-proof data."
"We are using Content Platform for data migration, and it integrates with our HNS platform. This is good because we can integrate it with our existing HNS and SAP solutions. The GUI is also user-friendly. It doesn't take much time to do anything. If we know the architecture and the steps, we can do what we need with a few clicks."
"As an architect, I like the management features that come with Hitachi Content Platform because it makes things easy."
"The way that they handle the DR is very good because when there is a failover, it is seamless to the users."
"Very good at object retrieval."
"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."
"For starters, MinIO has a good user interface. You can access it through the browser and perform operations like creating the object."
"Saves a lot of time in generating and managing documents."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"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."
"Reliable erasure coding."
"The solution has good compatibility with different kinds of storage."
"The only thing is that it should be more cost effective."
"In terms of the customer support, I can say it's a mixed reaction depending on the country."
"This product's ability to track logs for access still needs to be improved."
"The solution could use more integration with clouds."
"The user interface isn't as user-friendly, and the management platform UI isn't as intuitive as others. So it can be more user-friendly."
"At present, it is complicated to use the CLI command."
"What is lacking in this solution is a simple process to migrate from existing systems."
"They should improve the user interface. It's a little bit complex. It does not have a self-learning method. You need to know how to use it before you touch the system. The user interface is not self-explanatory."
"The product's security is open by default, without any SSL."
"The documentation of the solution should improve."
"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."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase is complex."
"The developer support could be better."
"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 only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
