We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Red Hat OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Red Hat, Dell Technologies and others in File and Object Storage."It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a stable solution."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"It is a stable platform."
"We face very few hardware failures."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"I have been satisfied with the stability."
"The performance is good."
"The scalability of OpenShift combined with Kubernetes is good. At least from the software standpoint, it becomes quite easy to handle the scalability through configuration. You need to constantly monitor the underlying infrastructure and ensure that it has adequate provisioning. If you have enough infrastructure, then managing the scalability is quite easy which is done through configuration."
"I have seen a return on investment, and it depends upon the types and the nature of some of the most critical applications that have been hosted on the OpenShift infrastructure."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"Its interface is good. The other part is the seamless integration with the stack that I have. Because my stack is mostly of Red Hat, which is running on top of VMware virtualization, I have had no issues with integrating both of these and trying to install them. We had a seamless integration with the other non-Red Hat products as well."
"In terms of implementation, OpenShift is very user-friendly, which is an advantage. We are using it along with GitLab for implementing CI/CD pipelines. That's a feature that other products also have, but in OpenShift, we find it good."
"I would recommend Red Hat OpenShift, especially for its automation capabilities."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the great customer service and the ability for our team to get assistance when we need it."
"Provides support throughout the whole platform."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"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."
"From an improvement perspective, Dell ECS should aim to offer a better pricing plan to its users."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"Its security can be improved."
"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."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"OpenShift can improve monitoring. Sometimes there are issues. Additionally, the solution could benefit from protective tools if something was to happen in our network."
"The interface could be simplified a bit more."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"OpenShift could improve by providing the ability to integrate with public cloud platforms. This way we can easily use the services that these platforms offer. For instance, Amazon AWS. However, all the three major hyper-scalers solutions offer excellent DevOps and CI/CD tooling. If there was an easy way to integrate with them it would be beneficial. We need a way to easily integrate with the monitoring and dashboard services that they provide."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"Room for improvement is around the offerings that come as a bundle with the container platform. The packaging of the platform should be done such that customers do not have to purchase additional licenses."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
Dell ECS is ranked 5th in File and Object Storage with 25 reviews while Red Hat OpenShift is ranked 4th in PaaS Clouds with 54 reviews. Dell ECS is rated 8.0, while Red Hat OpenShift is rated 8.4. The top reviewer of Dell ECS writes "Enables multiple protocol support, but its IOPS functionality needs improvement in terms of performance ". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Red Hat OpenShift writes "Provides us with the flexibility and efficiency of cloud-native stacks while enabling us to meet regulatory constraints". Dell ECS is most compared with Dell PowerScale (Isilon), Amazon AWS, MinIO, NetApp StorageGRID and Red Hat Ceph Storage, whereas Red Hat OpenShift is most compared with Amazon AWS, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Microsoft Azure and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
