We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Red Hat Ceph 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."It is a stable platform."
"It is a stable solution."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"The performance is good."
"What I like best about Dell ECS is its stability. I also like that you can use it for large-scale data purposes. The solution works fine for me, and I haven't encountered any issues with it."
"What I like best about this product is that it is a complete solution, both hardware, and software, by the same vendor."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."
"It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Red Hat Ceph Storage is a reliable solution, it works well."
"I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity."
"We use the solution for cloud storage."
"Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest."
"The disaster recovery could be improved because there should be something in-built within the ECS. Search and recovery should be in-built. Right now, we have to use some external tools for performing the recovery itself. For example, we're using Atempo or deploying Golden Superna, so it has dependency on the external third party vendors."
"They do not have complete documentation, which is very weak and could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the DPI reports, as they could be made more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"We have concerns about the write performance. We would also like it to be easier to scale out, to add more boxes to the system. And we want improved performance, to use a next-generation NFS service."
"From an improvement perspective, Dell ECS should aim to offer a better pricing plan to its users."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"Some documentation is very hard to find."
"In the deployment step, we need to create some config files to add Ceph functions in OpenStack modules (Nova, Cinder, Glance). It would be useful to have a tool that validates the format of the data in those files, before generating a deploy with failures."
"Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Ceph Storage is its user interface or GUI."
"Routing around slow hardware."
"Rebalancing and recovery are a bit slow."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
"This product uses a lot of CPU and network bandwidth. It needs some deduplication features and to use delta for rebalancing."
