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."I have been satisfied with the stability."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"The performance is good."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"We are using Ceph internal inexpensive disk and data redundancy without spending extra money on external storage."
"High reliability with commodity hardware."
"It has helped to save money and scale the storage without limits."
"It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product."
"Most valuable features include replication and compression."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"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."
"From an improvement perspective, Dell ECS should aim to offer a better pricing plan to its users."
"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."
"Dell EMC ECS should support segregation of duty, particularly for role-based access controls. Having a single pane of glass for smarter observation and better control mechanism would also make this solution better."
"They do not have complete documentation, which is very weak and could be improved."
"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."
"Its security can be improved."
"Ceph does not deal very well with, or takes a long time to recover from, certain kinds of network failures and individual storage node failures."
"We have encountered slight integration issues."
"Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet."
"I have encountered issues with stability when replication factor was not 3, which is the default and recommended value. Go below 3 and problems will arise."
"I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
"Routing around slow hardware."
"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."
Dell ECS is ranked 5th in File and Object Storage with 24 reviews while Red Hat Ceph Storage is ranked 3rd in File and Object Storage with 22 reviews. Dell ECS is rated 8.0, while Red Hat Ceph Storage is rated 8.2.
