"This product is very competitive."
"Dell's technical support team is good."
"It is a stable solution."
"Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"The performance is good."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"This product is very good because it is accessible in remote locations, and anyone can deploy from any place."
"An advantage of IBM Public Cloud is the bare metal server. We can take the bare metal server. It's not shared with anyone. We can deploy our applications without sharing them with anyone. That is an advantage of IBM Public Cloud."
"It is a scalable product. You can scale it up and down."
"One of the features that I really like about IBM Cloud is the flexibility where you can order your own hardware."
"This is a predictable and dependable service."
"The availability is second to none. Customer support is very good."
"For non-complex applications, the IBM Cloud works fine and the price is much lower than the competitors."
"It is easy to deploy what you need for the initial setup"
"The setup is very complex."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"Dell EMC ECS should support segregation of duty, particularly for role-based access controls. Having a single pane of glass for smarter observation and better control mechanism would also make this solution better."
"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."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"Dell EMC ECS could improve by having Relational Database Services(RDS) to review progress. Additionally, if the training was provided it would be a benefit, it would be good for our engineers."
"There is room for improvement in the DPI reports, as they could be made more user-friendly."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"Normally, for any cloud, we get a lot of information on the web, but that is missing in the case of IBM Public Cloud. We need some technical support documents. That is the only thing missing in IBM Public Cloud."
"There is not a lot of support for this solution, which is something that needs to be improved."
"Maybe performance enhancers and reports could be better improved. If they do so, it would be better. Of all the drawbacks I saw, this would be the biggest enhancement."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly deployment process in the next release of this solution."
"It could be more secure."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"They could improve on customizing reporting capabilities."
"The deployment can be a bit of a pain. There are a lot of packages and a lot of options and it can require complex configuration to get it right."
