Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."What I like best about this product is that it is a complete solution, both hardware, and software, by the same vendor."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"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."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"The performance is good."
"The performance is good."
"The pricing of the solution is pretty good."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Cloud is its autonomous database."
"Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud. Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick. I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud."
"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"The most valuable features are the manageability and the user interface."
"It's a cloud, so it is easy to access anywhere."
"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"From an improvement perspective, Dell ECS should aim to offer a better pricing plan to its users."
"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."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"The initial setup is not so easy."
"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."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward."
"It isn't easy to get qualified people who know how to work on this tool. All my administrators are learning as they go. Since this is the only cloud solution provider in Saudi Arabia, and it has only been around for one year, I am sure that this will change with time."
"Oracle Cloud's support could be improved because its second-line support has weak engineers who handle stuff a little bit slowly."
"The main issue for the clients is that they need to understand the credit payments because if it's a currency that's not dollars or euros, Oracle will always convert it into credits and that's not easy for the customer to understand at the beginning."
"The packaging part of the software needs improvement. It lacks customization abilities for users. Giving them VMs for machine learning or running their own programs like Azure and Amazon, for example. Things like scalability based on the requirement of the tools. Oracle still lacks these kinds of things. For example, if you need a VM from Oracle, you need to pay for a monthly fee. They started developing containership but it's still at the initial stage and it's still lacking. They also need to develop integration between packages."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"Database instances and computer storage are areas with shortcomings in the product that need improvement."
