Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."The scalability is good."
"It is a stable platform."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"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."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"I like the tool's scalability, CLI, and dashboards."
"It is easy to deploy applications, and we don't need to bother about software updates on the server. We don't need to bother about machines, servers, and hardware. We only need to care about the system and functionality that we need or want to develop. They take care of everything else. It provides high availability. It is a pretty good solution that provides everything that we need. It has everything that we need to run our applications. We have many different applications, and we generate three million bills for a company in Brazil. We see more than a billion requests per day in another application. Everything works just fine, and it is very good."
"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."
"We use Heroku to run generic data. We also use it for our customer development environment. It helps us to build and test websites."
"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."
"The most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."
"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"The initial setup is not so easy."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"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."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"They could flesh out some of their analytics a little more."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"The tool's configuration is complex."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
"We don't find the pipelines intuitive. The user experience could be better. Having to set up multiple apps, then a pipeline, seems like an overkill on the amount of work to do."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
