Dell ECS enables multiple protocol support, and we recommend it to other users. Anyone can purchase it depending on specific storage quantity requirements. There are certain IOPS limitations in terms of performance. A loss in IOPS can lead to decreased performance across various aspects, including general system performance, production, and overall functionality. In comparison, IBM has no IOPS limitations and relies on web controllers. I rate the product a seven out of ten. IBM and NetApp also provide good storage and a lot of features.

Most storage tools have similar features. We have moved the applications that need scalability to the cloud. We recommend the tool to our customers based on their requirements. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Our company hasn't sold the solution yet. However, we designed several projects and have at least two in progress. We have certified engineers and architects to draw and design everything. Currently, we have a project for archiving photocopies of tax reports. I recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Dell ECS is stable and reliable. But It is not a full-fledged cloud solution, but we do have cloud functionality integrated into it. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I'm not a user of object storage solutions, but a seller. I provide Dell ECS to clients. Five people use Dell ECS within my organization. Dell ECS is a solution I would recommend to others. My rating for Dell ECS is seven out of ten because IBM has a better object storage solution.

We have experience using both NetApp and Dell EMC ECS in our company. We also have experience with Dell EMC VNX and FlexPod. We are trying to retire Dell EMC ECS. We're trying to migrate our whole data center into the cloud, so we'll no longer require usage of Dell EMC ECS. I don't currently have a cost comparison, so it won't be fair to comment on the pricing for Dell EMC ECS. People in our company who are Dell EMC ECS SMEs are happy, so I'm giving a rating of nine out of ten for the solution. We are also trying to retire it, but I see that those who are working with it have sympathy for it, so it's a nine.

We plan to continue selling this solution, but we need them to support it on more than just a case by case basis because it takes too long. It depends on the Dell EMC resources but we cannot rely on their distributors for help. It's not a good enough business model. I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. That said, there are a few improvements needed, including that it could be cheaper. I would rate this product a seven out of ten.

We're just customers. We don't have a business relationship with Dell. We're using the version before Unity. I'm not sure the name of it. I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it nine out of ten overall.
