We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 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."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"We face very few hardware failures."
"Dell's technical support team is good."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"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."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"OCI's best features are its price, databases, and Linux compatibility."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"I head the sales and marketing team. So, specifically on the feature set side, multi-tenancy is the one that I'm most familiar with. It's also the one that we found to be the most beneficial to us because it allows us to take clients that have multiple sites. For instance, one of our larger clients, which is a bank based out of South Africa, has offices in multiple countries. It allows us to multi-tenant each and create a tenant for each country within multi-tenanted architecture."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"The security on the solution is very good."
"Oracle Cloud has wonderful features and offerings as a service. It's not just a pure-play cloud product or SaaS application. It has a complete suite from infrastructure to platform as a service to software as a service, and this is what I find most valuable in Oracle Cloud. For infrastructure on the cloud or infrastructure as a service on the cloud, there's OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure). Oracle Cloud is easily available. You just click it. I also found the feature of creating a landing zone valuable. Oracle Cloud is also very flexible as it lets you have a hybrid cloud model along with other cloud solutions. I also like that it offers good management on the cloud. Oracle Cloud is ready to use as a service, and that's wonderful because the time to market is very quick. I also like that Oracle Cloud offers high performance and high availability. A lot of people claim that there's high availability in their companies' cloud operations, but technically speaking, pure high availability in today's context is found in Oracle Cloud."
"I like the solution’s stability, performance, and fault alerts."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"They do not have complete documentation, which is very weak and could be improved."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"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."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"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."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"Oracle support could be better; we had cases where certain regions experienced specific issues and received little help from Oracle."
"They could add more features."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"Technical support could be more responsive."
"I think that there could be a more user-friendly environment when it comes to the options that Oracle presents through the Oracle Cloud Platform."
"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
"The functionalities could be simplified as it is a bit difficult to learn."
