We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 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."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."
"I have been satisfied with the stability."
"We face very few hardware failures."
"It is a stable platform."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"We appreciate the fact that this solution will operate with both native and third-party applications. This has meant that we don't need to change all of our systems to accommodate it within our network."
"The most valuable feature is the reporting service."
"Overall, I would say that Oracle Cloud provides support with zero down time and the high probability is very good."
"The pricing isn't too bad."
"We are not using any features offered by OCI but only using virtual machines. So our data only syncs from our On-premises to cloud. The compute and performance are better than other cloud solutions."
"I haven't experienced any instability or downtime in Oracle Cloud over the past three years. It is scalable The support team was good. The initial setup is straightforward to configure. I rate the solution a nine out of ten with ten being the highest."
"The most valuable feature is that it offers several adaptors."
"The object storage and managed backup solution are valuable."
"Dell ECS could improve the price of the solution. It is expensive."
"Its security can be improved."
"If Dell ECS would be available as standalone software, so you can use any hardware with it, would make the solution better. It would also be good if Dell ECS had more integrations with other products."
"They could provide centralized reports."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
"The troubleshooting feature of this solution needs to be improved, to allow organizations to fix issues without having to contact the support team."
"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 scalability is an area with shortcomings...Mid-level customers feel that Oracle is not scalable in their environment and is an enterprise-level segment solution."
"The solution does not follow a retention policy while taking ad hoc backups. Since it does not follow the retention policy, we had to do the manual task to check the backups."
"More technical papers could be published to help out professionals."
"I would like the Oracle Cloud Platform to have a more user-friendly UI similar to Microsoft Azure."
"The integration tools that they offer are quite complex to use."
"The Oracle Cloud platform remains complex, and despite the abundance of resources available, significant challenges can still arise during the migration process from a legacy or on-premise system. Conversely, smaller companies with less complicated systems, such as those with a two million budget, can migrate more easily."
"The price of the subscription is too high and excludes some potential customers."
"Oracle Cloud could improve AI. The design elements could be done better."
