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 performance is good."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"I have been satisfied with the stability."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"It is 100% stable. It is also scalable."
"It is a stable platform."
"We face very few hardware failures."
"This product is very competitive."
"It is a stable platform."
"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."
"I am impressed with the product's security features."
"The initial setup is simple, and OpenShift is open-source, so it's easy to install on any cloud platform."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"We have found the cluster management function to be very good with this product."
"Provides support throughout the whole platform."
"The stability has been good."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"They do not have complete documentation, which is very weak and could be improved."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"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 ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the DPI reports, as they could be made more user-friendly."
"It would be great if it supported Bitbucket repositories too."
"Needs work on volume handling (although this is already better with GlusterFS). Security (SSSD) would also be an improvement."
"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."
"I think that OpenShift has too many commands for running services from the CLI, and the configuration files are a little complicated."
"Autoscaling is a very unique feature, but it could be useful to have more options based on traffic statistics, for example, via Prometheus. So, there should be more ready solutions to autoscale based on specific applications."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"An enhancement to consider for the future might involve incorporating a comprehensive solution for CI/CD tailored specifically for OpenShift."
"The tool lacks some features to make it compliant with Kubernetes"
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. The top reviewer of Dell ECS writes "Enables multiple protocol support, but its IOPS functionality needs improvement in terms of performance ". On the other hand, the top reviewer of OpenShift writes "Provides us with the flexibility and efficiency of cloud-native stacks while enabling us to meet regulatory constraints". Dell ECS is most compared with Dell PowerScale (Isilon), Amazon AWS, NetApp StorageGRID, MinIO and Red Hat Ceph Storage, whereas OpenShift is most compared with Amazon AWS, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Microsoft Azure and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
