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."I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"This product is very competitive."
"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."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It has improved my company by cutting my time to market."
"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."
"The product is easy to use and deploy."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the high level of performance for the databases."
"We use Oracle Cloud to host the OIC (Oracle Integration Cloud Service) and APEX."
"The stability of the solution is very good...The technical support is good."
"We have not had any downtime using the solution."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"The initial setup is not so easy."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"The setup is very complex."
"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."
"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."
"From an improvement perspective, Dell ECS should aim to offer a better pricing plan to its users."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"The customization and the requests put through were not flexible enough."
"The solution could always be less expensive."
"The technical support is really bad, because their reaction time is extremely slow."
"I would like more technical expertise."
"The biggest challenge I'm having with the cloud offering is the sizing. So, pricing becomes difficult. The sizing challenge is in terms of being very clear on how your data growth or your requirements would be. It becomes a bit difficult to be able to ensure that there's enough future proofing in what you've signed. At the same time, the whole idea behind the cloud is to be able to pay for what you use. You don't want to pay for something that you're not using."
"The setup was not simple."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"There should be more management automation."
