We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and SAP Cloud Platform 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."This product is very competitive."
"Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"The scalability is good."
"Dell's technical support team is good."
"The most valuable features of SAP Cloud Platform are security integration and scalability."
"The entire SAP ecosystem is a valuable feature. It provides access to SAP S/4HANA, ACG systems, and their Fiori launchpad, making it easy to navigate between them. This makes the enterprise very accessible."
"The features I found most valuable are the integration options."
"SAP Cloud Platform's most valuable features are its exhaustiveness, scalability with minimum maintenance, and functionality."
"The ability to expand it whenever required has been great — it's very simple."
"It is a stable solution, as I never encountered issues when using it."
"It's suitable for various sizes of companies. I have used it with big companies and with small ones as well."
"Cloud Platform's stability is great."
"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."
"They could provide centralized reports."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the DPI reports, as they could be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements with the price and the licensing."
"My impression of the stability is that it is not good. Almost every month there is something new and that makes us nervous about delivery."
"From what I understand, the SAP Cloud Platform is for implementation on AWS or Azure, and it's not meant to be a full-fledged cloud solution, so while using the platform, an area for improvement is that it has fewer offerings and is less flexible when compared to AWS. AWS has a lot more flexibility than the SAP Cloud Platform. I've also used Azure in college and AWS in between, and I prefer AWS over the SAP Cloud Platform. The only reason I would ever stick with the SAP Cloud Platform is to create applications integrated with SAP or with other companies within SAP, such as SuccessFactors. When you go into the SAP Cloud Platform web page, it's a bit bland and has relatively limited offerings. For example, there doesn't seem to be in-house MongoDB support, but I realize there's in-house support for the PostgreSQL database, so there are fewer offerings in the SAP Cloud Platform. Yes, you can always go for a database on the actual MongoDB server rather than depending on the offerings of the SAP Cloud Platform. However, it's still better to support MongoDB from the platform, so payment is consolidated, rather than going to a different location to make a payment. Another room for improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform is the need to create an SAP subaccount if you need to use the platform unless you have an SSO login by Google or if you're using a different identity provider such as Microsoft or Google. Instead of requiring dependency on SAP, it would be good if users could use the SAP Cloud Platform even without a subaccount on SAP. For example, when hosting an application on AWS or Azure, you don't have to create an account in Amazon or Microsoft. You can still do it using Google. You can use almost anything, so I'd like SAP to improve by removing the dependency, particularly the requirement to create an SAP account to use the SAP Cloud Platform."
"Lacks flexibility in its licensing structure."
"What I would like to see improved is the learning curve."
"The addition of more industry use cases would be an improvement."
"I feel that SAP provides the tools, but after that, you are left on your own. It would be better if they provided more support throughout the usage of their solutions."
"Speaking about the public cloud, it's a very rigid system. So, there is not a lot of customization possible in a public cloud environment."
Dell ECS is ranked 5th in File and Object Storage with 24 reviews while SAP Cloud Platform is ranked 6th in PaaS Clouds with 37 reviews. Dell ECS is rated 8.0, while SAP Cloud Platform is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Dell ECS writes "Enables multiple protocol support, but its IOPS functionality needs improvement in terms of performance ". On the other hand, the top reviewer of SAP Cloud Platform writes "Provides seamless integration with CTI for streamlined data synchronization but complexity and challenges in migrating existing applications to the low-code model for custom application development". Dell ECS is most compared with Dell PowerScale (Isilon), Amazon AWS, NetApp StorageGRID, MinIO and Red Hat Ceph Storage, whereas SAP Cloud Platform is most compared with Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Mule Anypoint Platform and webMethods.io Integration.
