The most valuable feature is the ease of management and administration.
MinIO offers easy management with on-demand tenant creation and integrates with various storage types, ensuring efficient coding for bit rot protection. Despite easy installation and robust stability, MinIO poses challenges with limited scalability, insufficient documentation, and security risks due to being open by default without SSL. It doesn't allow storage expansion, requiring a multi-tenant approach. MinIO's free version limits storage, which can be restrictive for users seeking expandable solutions.
