Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."It is a stable platform."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"This product is very competitive."
"The performance is good."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"It's definitely good for unstructured data. In earlier days, we had Centera, so for the DR it's really good. It has load balancing facility, and we're using it with the Kemp Load Balancer."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I am impressed with the tool's upscaling and resiliency features."
"The scalability feature of the product is very impressive, especially considering the fact that the tool offers its users a pay-as-you-go model."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Interface."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is the digital assistant."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"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."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"If Dell ECS would be available as standalone software, so you can use any hardware with it, would make the solution better. It would also be good if Dell ECS had more integrations with other products."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"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."
"The solution is expensive. So we try to use MySQL on AWS to push the data. The tool’s support could be improved."
"The product's resilience is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There should be more management automation."
"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."
"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."
"The portfolio should improve for the Oracle Cloud Platform. Oracle has to increase the services offered. New services should be added to be able to compete better with Amazon AWS which is the best, and the biggest service. Oracle Cloud Platform has a small portfolio, but it's a good one."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"There's one app I have to install on my device, the Articulate Player app. It's only available on Apple and Android, but it's not available for Windows. I can't run the program on my desktop, to use it to learn Java."
