Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Dell Technologies, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."We face very few hardware failures."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"The performance is good."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"Dell's technical support team is good."
"It is 100% stable. It is also scalable."
"The performance is good."
"The scalability is good."
"Valuable for us was the fast deployment. This means the time to market is improved without pain for developers."
"It's easy to push a change and to deploy new things."
"One of the best things about Heroku is that it is very easy and straightforward to deploy an application."
"What I found most valuable about this solution is that it's easy to use and integrate with GitHub actions."
"Thanks to Heroku, we don't need to do as much direct management in AWS."
"The platform is very Node.js-friendly, which is something that is important to us."
"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 most valuable feature of Heroku is the continuous integration and applications it provides."
"The troubleshooting feature of this solution needs to be improved, to allow organizations to fix issues without having to contact the support team."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"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."
"Its security can be improved."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"They could provide centralized reports."
"The initial setup is not so easy."
"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."
"Heroku had an authentication problem a few months ago, but they solved it."
"We have to do daily restarts of some processes, which is annoying, and the support for custom CI could be better."
"Heroku doesn't support Docker images on the CI infrastructure."
"I improved the application performance by monitoring and adjusting the cleaner configuration to help set better lightweight limits on containers that run the app instances."
"We would like to be notified when something goes wrong in the process. When something is not working, we should get an alert."
"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."
"Their support is good, but they can improve their response time."
"I think this solution would be improved if free demos were available indefinitely."
