We performed a comparison between Dell ECS, Huawei FusionStorage, and Scality RING 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 found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It is a stable platform."
"The performance is good."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"The scalability is good."
"In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels."
"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility."
"Provides easy access to our data."
"The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."
"Another feature I like is the life cycle management that helps me with data storage efficiency."
"The most valuable feature of Scality RING8 is its performance and good interface."
"I think it's the economic factor. This solution has the lowest cost for storage systems."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The initial setup is not so easy."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"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."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"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."
"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."
"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."
"Their cloud services could be improved."
"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."
"Scality RING8 could improve by having more features. We have to use two automation tools to meet our needs. We would prefer to use only one."
"When we used this solution in 2015, it was not scalable at all. I don't know if they have improved on that, but at the time, scalability was just horrible."
"Scality RING is not easy to learn for someone new. It is a little bit difficult. There are a lot of components to it, and you also need to understand them to work with it effectively."
