We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Google App Engine 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."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."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"It is a stable platform."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"What I like best about this product is that it is a complete solution, both hardware, and software, by the same vendor."
"I've found that all of the features are valuable, especially the shared drive and the ability for multiple people to use their documents at the same time."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that there is good documentation explaining the implementation part of it."
"The initial setup is okay. It's not too complex. Deployment took about one day."
"The product's setup and deployment phases are easy."
"Administering App Engine is simple; it has intuitive UIs and a very scalable app engine."
"The solution is serverless, so we don't have to operate it."
"The WhatApp feature is the most valuable."
"Seurity features - unauthorized individuals are unable to access certain applications."
"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."
"The initial setup is not so easy."
"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."
"The setup is very complex."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"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."
"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."
"Difficult to assess how pricing is managed."
"I would like a simpler deployment tool on laptops. It is a bit complicated at the moment. We know how to do it, but it could be easier to deploy it on laptops."
"Some features of runtime don't work well in App Engine."
"I am limited to sending a photo to five people. I want to be able to send a photo to many people, not just five."
"The support for the Indian region is not as good as compared to the support that is offered to the regions in Europe."
"There needs to be more directions in terms of how to use the solution."
"The documentation and community are lacking for this product."
"Data consumption of the device could be improved."
