We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Oracle Cloud Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, MinIO, Red Hat and others in File and Object Storage."It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"I have been satisfied with the stability."
"The scalability is good."
"The performance is good."
"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."
"A good feature of the solution is the clear roadmap it provides specifically from Oracle to PC, there are good options to use OTP."
"Oracle does well when it comes to data privacy and security, which are critical."
"They seem to be more readily integrating with Azure, which is great."
"The product is easy to use and deploy."
"Oracle is valuable for improving performance and addressing issues between the nodes of clusters for private IPs. It provides a private connection between the client and the security cluster."
"The flexibility is most valuable. By having our infrastructure in the cloud, we are able to spin up instances as needed and alter the capacity as needed."
"The most valuable features of the Oracle Cloud Platform are good visualization and analytics. The solution is very well integrated with predictive analytics and forecasting. These features go beyond the traditional reports and visualization."
"The technical support is good, they have been responsive and helpful."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"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."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."
"Lacking in additional PaaS services."
"Specific to the Oracle Cloud; while they have been able to showcase inbuilt features for Oracle applications, what doesn't really come across clearly is what happens when you want to host, work with, or integrate with applications outside of the Oracle stack."
"It should have other workloads from other suppliers running on the solution."
"The product roadmap strategy for some of the products is not clear."
"Oracle Cloud Platform can improve the integration with hybrid and cross-cloud deployments. It should be a flexible solution with a very well-defined integration with other applications in the hybrid environment. There are certain integrations that are not straightforward."
"In a future release, they could improve by adding some form of machine learning and artificial intelligence."
"Amazon AWS has a better solution overall."
Dell ECS is ranked 4th in File and Object Storage with 13 reviews while Oracle Cloud Platform is ranked 6th in PaaS Clouds with 16 reviews.
