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."We face very few hardware failures."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"It is a stable platform."
"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."
"The tool is easy to use."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"Ceph’s ability to adapt to varying types of commodity hardware affords us substantial flexibility and future-proofing."
"The community support is very good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the stability of the product."
"Data redundancy is a key feature, since it can survive failures (disks/servers). We didn’t lose our data or have a service interruption during server/disk failures."
"We use the solution for cloud storage."
"Ceph was chosen to maintain exact performance and capacity characteristics for customer cloud."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"They could provide centralized reports."
"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."
"From an improvement perspective, Dell ECS should aim to offer a better pricing plan to its users."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"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 setup is very complex."
"It would be nice to have a notification feature whenever an important action is completed."
"The storage capacity of the solution can be improved."
"This product uses a lot of CPU and network bandwidth. It needs some deduplication features and to use delta for rebalancing."
"It took me a long time to get the storage drivers for the communication with Kubernetes up and running. The documentation could improve it is lacking information. I'm not sure if this is a Ceph problem or if Ceph should address this, but it was something I ran into. Additionally, there is a performance issue I am having that I am looking into, but overall I am satisfied with the performance."
"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."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Ceph Storage is its user interface or GUI."
"We have encountered slight integration issues."
