We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Red Hat OpenShift based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about MinIO, Red Hat, Dell Technologies and others in File and Object Storage."Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."
"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."
"The scalability is good."
"The performance is good."
"It is 100% stable. It is also scalable."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"Overall, the solution's security throughout the stack and software supply chain is excellent."
"I have seen a return on investment, and it depends upon the types and the nature of some of the most critical applications that have been hosted on the OpenShift infrastructure."
"Self-provisioning support saves a lot of time and unnecessary work from the system administrator who can use this time to run and monitor the infrastructure. For the developer, this means less time waiting for the provisioning and excellent flexibility for development, testing, and production. Also, in such systems it is easy for developers to monitor applications even after deployment."
"This solution helps us to account for peak seasons involving higher demand than usual. It also gives us confidence in the security of our overall systems."
"We are able to operate client’s platform without downtime during security patch management each month and provide a good SLA (as scalability for applications is processed during heavy client website load, automatically)."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"The company had a product called device financing, where the company worked as a partner with Google. It allowed customers to take mobile phones on loan or via credit. When we migrated those services to OpenShift in February last year, we were able to sell over 100,000 devices in a single day, which was very good."
"This solution is providing a platform with OOTB features that are difficult to build from scratch."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"The troubleshooting feature of this solution needs to be improved, to allow organizations to fix issues without having to contact the support team."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"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."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"The setup is very complex."
"Documentation and technical support could be improved. The product is good, but when we raise a case with support—say we are having an image issue—the support is not really up to the mark. It is difficult to get support... When we raise a case, their support people will hesitate to get on a call or a screen-sharing session. That is a major drawback when it comes to OpenShift."
"The monitoring part could be better to monitor the performance."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"Some of the storage services and integrations with third-party tools should be made possible."
"Room for improvement is around the offerings that come as a bundle with the container platform. The packaging of the platform should be done such that customers do not have to purchase additional licenses."
"This solution could be improved by offering best practices on standardization and additional guidance on how to use this solution."
"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."
"I want easier node management and more user-friendly scripts for installing master and worker nodes."
