Find out in this report how the two File and Object Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is 100% stable. It is also 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."
"The performance is good."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"I have been satisfied with the stability."
"This product is very competitive."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"The container installation features are good. The S3 feature provisions the storage buckets making it easy. It allows me to spin up the public buckets with open-source technology."
"I like that if you have a problem, you can buy the home server. It is stable and robust."
"MinIO can work with attributes and folders, and it has the ability to use a stream approach for files. I have moments that should work exclusively. It also has some management features you can use, like exclusive locks that you can perform on one record or a collection."
"Good interface and a good approach to development and testing environments."
"It performs efficiently compared to other solutions."
"The ability to spawn a MinIO Tenant on demand and shut it down right after is most valuable."
"The features that I have found most valuable with MinIO is its coding bit rot protection and how it distributes the workload over all the servers."
"The most valuable features are that MinIO is open, it works on-premise, and is compatible with the Amazon industry which is great for finding compatible libraries in many languages which is very good for developers."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"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."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the DPI reports, as they could be made more user-friendly."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"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 MinIO dashboard is minimal as there are only a couple of features inside the dashboard for a basic user. I would like this to be more robust with more click-around features."
"Lacks documentation for non-Kubernetes users."
"The scalability is one of the limitations we have found. We are looking for another solution but they must provide the same characteristics, such as an affordable price and continuity."
"The solution lacks documentation."
"The only downside I see is that you do not have a complete picture of an object."
"The Distributed User Interface (DUI) needs some work. It's hard to view a large set of data on the DUI. It's an issue with the DUI's performance."
"Documentation could be improved."
"We had minor bugs occasionally."
