We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and OpenShift 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 stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"What I like best about this product is that it is a complete solution, both hardware, and software, by the same vendor."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"The performance is good."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."
"What I like best about Dell ECS is its stability. I also like that you can use it for large-scale data purposes. The solution works fine for me, and I haven't encountered any issues with it."
"OpenShift offers more stability than Kubernetes."
"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 security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"Two stand-out features are the security model and value-add features that don't exist in Upstream Kubernetes."
"Valuable features include auto-recreate of pod if pod fails; fast rollback, with one click, to previous version."
"I like OCP, and the management UI is better than the open-source ones."
"In terms of implementation, OpenShift is very user-friendly, which is an advantage. We are using it along with GitLab for implementing CI/CD pipelines. That's a feature that other products also have, but in OpenShift, we find it good."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"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."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"There is room for improvement in the DPI reports, as they could be made more user-friendly."
"The setup is very complex."
"They do not have complete documentation, which is very weak and could be improved."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"Its security can be improved."
"One of the features that I've observed in Tanzu Mission Control is that I can manage multiple Kubernetes environments. For instance, one of my lines of business is using OpenShift OKD; another one wants to use Google Anthos, and somebody else wants to use VMware Tanzu. If I have to manage all these, Tanzu Mission Control is giving me the opportunity to completely manage all of my Kubernetes clusters, whereas, with OpenShift, I can only manage a particular area. I can't manage other Kubernetes clusters. I would like to have the option to manage all Kubernetes clusters with OpenShift."
"Its virtual upgrades are time-consuming."
"If we can have a GUI-based configuration with better flexibility then it will be great."
"The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
"We need some kind of a multi-cluster management solution from the Red Hat site."
"One glaring flaw is how OpenShift handles operators. Sometimes operators are forced to go into a particular namespace. When you do that, OpenShift creates an installation plan for everything in that namespace. These operators may be completely separate from each other and have nothing to do with each other, but now they are tied at the hip. You can't upgrade one without upgrading all of them. That's a huge mistake and highly problematic."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
