We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and OpenShift 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."The technology is very good, it performs well."
"The performance is good."
"The performance is good."
"It is a stable solution."
"Dell's technical support team is good."
"This product is very competitive."
"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."
"Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."
"I love to automate everything and OpenShift was been born for that. It takes care of the network layer itself and I don't need to dive into it; I can work on a top level. Our project has numerous services designed to run in Docker containers, and we have run almost all pieces in OpenShift."
"The virtualization of my APIs means I no longer have to pay VMware large amounts of money to only run in-house solutions."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"The most valuable feature is the auto scalers for all microservices. The feature allows us to place request limits and it is much cheaper than AWS."
"The company had a product called device financing, where the company worked as a partner with Google. It allowed customers to take mobile phones on loan or via credit. When we migrated those services to OpenShift in February last year, we were able to sell over 100,000 devices in a single day, which was very good."
"What I like best about OpenShift is that it can reduce some of the costs of having multiple applications because you can just move them into small container applications. For example, applications don't need to run for twenty days, only to be used up by Monday. Through OpenShift, you can move some of the small applications into any cloud. I also find the design of OpenShift good."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"We have concerns about the write performance. We would also like it to be easier to scale out, to add more boxes to the system. And we want improved performance, to use a next-generation NFS service."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"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."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"The troubleshooting feature of this solution needs to be improved, to allow organizations to fix issues without having to contact the support team."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The setup is very complex."
"The whole area around the hybrid cloud could be improved. I would like to deploy a Red Hat OpenShift cluster on-premise and on the cloud, then have Red Hat do the entire hybrid cloud management."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"OpenShift could be improved if it were more accessible for smaller budgets."
"Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required."
"The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement."
"One area for improvement is the documentation. They need to make it a little bit more user-friendly. Also, if you compare certain features and the installation process with Rancher, Rancher is simpler."
"The solution only offers support for one server."
Dell ECS is ranked 5th in File and Object Storage with 24 reviews while OpenShift is ranked 4th in PaaS Clouds with 53 reviews. Dell ECS is rated 8.0, while OpenShift is rated 8.4.
