We performed a comparison between Dell ECS, OpenShift, and Red Hat Ceph Storage 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 scalability is good."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"Dell's technical support team is good."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The tool is easy to use."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"It is a stable platform."
"OpenShift offers robust tools for monitoring application traffic, allowing us to analyze client requests and other business-related metrics."
"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"The product's initial setup is very easy, especially compared to AWS."
"Valuable features include auto-recreate of pod if pod fails; fast rollback, with one click, to previous version."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"It's cloud agnostic and the containerization and security features are outstanding."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"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 configuration of the solution and the user interface are both quite good."
"The ability to provide block storage and object storage from the same storage cluster is very valuable for us."
"We use the solution for cloud storage."
"High reliability with commodity hardware."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity."
"Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest."
"Red Hat Ceph Storage is a reliable solution, it works well."
"If Dell ECS would be available as standalone software, so you can use any hardware with it, would make the solution better. It would also be good if Dell ECS had more integrations with other products."
"They could provide centralized reports."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"The troubleshooting feature of this solution needs to be improved, to allow organizations to fix issues without having to contact the support team."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"The initial setup is not so easy."
"The setup is very complex."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"Latency and performance are two areas of concern in OpenShift where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to support the new features in Kubernetes more quickly."
"Documentation and technical support could be improved. The product is good, but when we raise a case with support—say we are having an image issue—the support is not really up to the mark. It is difficult to get support... When we raise a case, their support people will hesitate to get on a call or a screen-sharing session. That is a major drawback when it comes to OpenShift."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"The latest 4.0 version of OpenShift disabled a few of the features we previously made use of, although this wasn't a huge deal."
"The area for improvement is mostly in support for legacy applications."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"It would be nice to have a notification feature whenever an important action is completed."
"It took me a long time to get the storage drivers for the communication with Kubernetes up and running. The documentation could improve it is lacking information. I'm not sure if this is a Ceph problem or if Ceph should address this, but it was something I ran into. Additionally, there is a performance issue I am having that I am looking into, but overall I am satisfied with the performance."
"Ceph does not deal very well with, or takes a long time to recover from, certain kinds of network failures and individual storage node failures."
"The storage capacity of the solution can be improved."
"Rebalancing and recovery are a bit slow."
"It needs a better UI for easier installation and management."
"I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery."
"I have encountered issues with stability when replication factor was not 3, which is the default and recommended value. Go below 3 and problems will arise."
