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."Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"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 is a stable platform."
"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."
"What I like best about this product is that it is a complete solution, both hardware, and software, by the same vendor."
"The performance is good."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"Excellent GUI support, so one does not need to use the command line client for almost any tasks. Great support for building images directly from Git repositories with hooks."
"The security is good."
"OpenShift offers more stability than Kubernetes."
"The initial setup is simple, and OpenShift is open-source, so it's easy to install on any cloud platform."
"There is a quick deployment of the application, and we can scale out efficiently."
"We want to build a solution that can be deployable to any cloud because of client requirements and OpenShift allows us to do this."
"The security features of OpenShift are strong when in use of role-based access."
"Great integration with Jenkins for constant integration and development. Supports all the major languages and environments - PHP, Java, Node.js, Ruby, etc."
"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."
"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."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"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."
"The troubleshooting feature of this solution needs to be improved, to allow organizations to fix issues without having to contact the support team."
"They could provide centralized reports."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"The whole area around the hybrid cloud could be improved. I would like to deploy a Red Hat OpenShift cluster on-premise and on the cloud, then have Red Hat do the entire hybrid cloud management."
"Not a ten because it's not a standard solution and the endpoint protection user has to prepare with documentation or have training from other people. It's not easy to start because it's not like other solutions."
"We experienced issues around desktop security, that stopped us implementing a new feature that had been developed."
"The product’s integration with Windows containers and other third-party products needs improvement."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"The operators need a lot of improvement, with better integrations."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
Dell ECS is ranked 5th in File and Object Storage with 25 reviews while OpenShift is ranked 4th in PaaS Clouds with 53 reviews. Dell ECS is rated 8.0, while OpenShift is rated 8.4.
