We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Dell ECS based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison of Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Amazon AWS seems to be the marginally superior solution. Our reviewers found Dell ECS’s supporting documentation to be incomplete.
"It has helped reduce the cost by rationing the computing power and paying only on a per usage basis, instead of provisioning unneeded, idle, or unutilized computing power that is used only at 20% of its capacity or time."
"AWS is easy to manage."
"The storage is most valuable. The gateway and documentation are also quite good."
"It is intuitive, easy to deploy, and rather quick to deploy and set up. There are a number of native services in the ecosystem. These services are built into the cloud and are mature enough to support you in many ways."
"The main feature that I like the most is the variety of solutions that it provides. It provides some analysis, business information and more. It provides a wide variety of services."
"I am very impressed by the solution's stability."
"Some of the valuable features I have found to be the virtual server is easy to understand, a secure environment, and AWS has a fast community for finding solutions to problems you might be facing."
"Macie is great. It is a service that makes recommendations on a data layer for cybersecurity. It is a great service."
"What I like best about Dell ECS is its stability. I also like that you can use it for large-scale data purposes. The solution works fine for me, and I haven't encountered any issues with it."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"It is a stable solution."
"This product is very competitive."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"I'd love to see an Amazon data center here in Peru."
"They currently have fewer regions in Asia, especially in India, China, and other places. They can maybe put more data centers in this region."
"The dashboard and interface need improvement."
"You'll probably experience some sticker shock with AWS. You attempt to understand the cost, but you don't realize what you're paying until you get your first bill. I don't know if Amazon does that on purpose, but costs can get out of control quickly if you don't have someone who specializes in AWS cost management."
"Amazon AWS could improve by being more secure and adding more features."
"I'd like to see integration with MySQL."
"When I try to enter the multi-cloud, they provide very poor support. Support is a concern with Amazon."
"The price of the solution is comparatively quite high in comparison with that of Azure."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"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."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"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 major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
