We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Pivotal Cloud Foundry 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."Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"We face very few hardware failures."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"I have been satisfied with the stability."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"It provides a set of developer-friendly tools that simplify application deployment."
"I find the ease of deployment and management of microservices to be the most valuable features. The platform also has good auto-scaling capabilities."
"Pivotal Cloud Foundry is very robust, especially for building Java."
"The most valuable feature of Pivotal Cloud Foundry is auto-healing and the plenty of other features that are provided."
"PCF is open, so the applications run really smoothly and with little downtime."
"The solution is stable and resilient. In our company, we do not even see any challenges with the solution."
"The most valuable features are the monitoring and the deployment is easier."
"Pivotal Cloud Foundry is very easy to use compared to other cloud technologies. It has a very good performance."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"From an improvement perspective, Dell ECS should aim to offer a better pricing plan to its users."
"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."
"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."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"Its security can be improved."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"The user interface should be simpler to navigate because it t can take time for users to learn it."
"Pivotal Cloud Foundry could improve the documentation. They are good, but they could improve more. Additionally, it would be beneficial if there were more use case examples."
"Something that can be done better is canary deployment. So, right now, we're using blue-green deployment. The support for canary deployment would be nice."
"I'd like to see a larger service offering."
"In the next release, I would like to see easy integration with external tools."
"There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the future of Pivotal Cloud Foundry."
"There are no synthetic application monitoring and real-time monitoring features."
"The Pivotal Cloud Foundry's initial setup has a learning curve for my team, but it was easy to use."
