We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."We face very few hardware failures."
"I have been satisfied with the stability."
"It is 100% stable. It is also scalable."
"Dell's technical support team is good."
"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."
"The performance is good."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"We are able to operate client’s platform without downtime during security patch management each month and provide a good SLA (as scalability for applications is processed during heavy client website load, automatically)."
"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."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"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."
"The stability has been good."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"Its security is most valuable. It's by default secure, which is very important."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"The setup is very complex."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"Its security can be improved."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"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."
"My team has found some bugs in OpenShift due to continuous integration, and this is an area for improvement in the platform. RedHat should fix the bugs. Another area for improvement in OpenShift is that upgrading clusters can be challenging, resulting in downtime. Application support also needs improvement in OpenShift because the platform doesn't support all applications in the cloud. I'd like upgraded storage in the next release of OpenShift, especially when I need to do a DR exercise. It would also be good if the platform allows mirroring with another cluster, or more portability in terms of moving applications to another cluster."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"We want to see better alerting, especially in critical situations requiring immediate intervention. Until we go to the dashboard, it can be challenging to quickly recognize that there's an issue for us to deal with. Therefore, a popup of the event or a tweaked GUI to catch our attention when it's alerting would be a welcome change. Everything else is good. We don't need any additional features. From the operations perspective, as an administrator, there is nothing concerning."
"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."
Dell ECS is ranked 5th in File and Object Storage with 25 reviews while OpenShift is ranked 4th in PaaS Clouds with 53 reviews. Dell ECS is rated 8.0, while 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 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, NetApp StorageGRID, MinIO and Red Hat Ceph Storage, whereas OpenShift is most compared with Amazon AWS, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Microsoft Azure and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
