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 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."
"I like that if you have a problem, you can buy the home server. It is stable and robust."
"Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"The most valuable feature of MinIO is its ease of use, replication, and active directory. All the capabilities are in this solution."
"Nice web interface, easy to use, with a low memory footprint."
"The stability of MinIO is good."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration."
"The product does save time for our company."
"The life cycle managers of the PCMs are very impressive, and I like them. They make our lives easy when managing patches and security updates when they come in. A life cycle manager helps to consolidate different vendors."
"The most valuable features are the interface and support."
"Nutanix Volumes is a perfectly stable product."
"The management interface is great and you have handy access to several details about your file shares."
"The customer service executives of all Nutanix products are active and responsive."
"The solution is easy to use, share, and manage."
"The most valuable feature is that it is highly available, solving the pain-point of delaying updates to Windows-based file servers during production hours. And then the second one would be ransomware protection and analytics. It gives you great visibility and protection on your file shares that are otherwise the most common sources of vulnerabilities."
"What I found to be the most valuable features were better performance and uptime."
"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."
"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 should have high availability. Also, support should be quick."
"There is a lack of good addons to integrate without having to use third-party applications."
"The monitoring capability is really bad and needs to be improved."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"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."
"We have had to deal with some infrastructure and general cluster issues but these issues don't impact storage."
"While they are good and they do work, some of the snapshotting and tiering features are not as simple to set up as they could be."
"If they can add an integrated DLP feature, it would be great."
"We would love to see the analytics and ransomware protection extended beyond just file servers to virtual machines, but they have a different product that covers that."
"Nutanix needs to improve their cybersecurity options at the storage level."
"One thing I'd appreciate is having a desktop application similar to what VMware offered."
"The graphical user interfaces could benefit from more attention to detail."
"Unified Storage failed to fulfill our object storage requirements."
