We performed a comparison between Amazon AWS and Dell ECS based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison of Results: Based on the parameters we compared, Amazon AWS seems to be the marginally superior solution. Our reviewers found Dell ECS’s supporting documentation to be incomplete.
"We use AWS for multiple purposes, such as developing APIs and API integration using API Gateway. We use API Gateway, Python Combinator, Lambda Glue, and ETL Process. We have used EMR for big data processing. If we need a tool for computing, we go with the Lamda DMS. There are many services available in AWS that meet our needs."
"I like that is very easy to use and that it's flexible."
"Amazon AWS has good performance and easy management."
"The monitoring is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"The payment structure is very good."
"Friendly console for implementation."
"It has good reporting and documentation."
"I think the AWS interface is good. It's easy to understand and use."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"We face very few hardware failures."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"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."
"It is a stable platform."
"The performance is good."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"It is 100% stable. It is also scalable."
"Price can always be cheaper."
"AWS could be more scalable."
"The features that should be improved are that there should be better clarity on their invoicing. There are so many things they charge for - high line items in the invoice. I think there should be more clarity and more ease of use with their billing. I'd like to see better ease of use of with the billing console and a clear dashboard to understand the usage."
"Some features may be better in Azure or some other portal. AWS could add some of those features."
"I think that the interface could be improved."
"It could be made cheaper. I know we spend a lot of money each month on AWS."
"I want to use AWS as a full solution for my website - for domain and website hosting, and everything in between - however, I was not able to find everything together."
"The customization could be improved."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"Its security can be improved."
"From an improvement perspective, Dell ECS should aim to offer a better pricing plan to its users."
"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."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"It is a good solution, except for the cost."
"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."
"Technical support needs to be improved."
