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."I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"We face very few hardware failures."
"The tool is easy to use."
"It is a stable platform."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"Dell ECS is a cost-effective solution that provides ease of use and availability."
"The security is good."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"Its interface is good. The other part is the seamless integration with the stack that I have. Because my stack is mostly of Red Hat, which is running on top of VMware virtualization, I have had no issues with integrating both of these and trying to install them. We had a seamless integration with the other non-Red Hat products as well."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of OpenShift is the containers."
"OpenShift facilitates DevOps practices and improves CI/CD workflows in terms of stability compared to Jenkins."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is the great customer service and the ability for our team to get assistance when we need it."
"Valuable features include auto-recreate of pod if pod fails; fast rollback, with one click, to previous version."
"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."
"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."
"The setup is very complex."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"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."
"They could provide centralized reports."
"It could use auto-scaling based on criteria such as transaction volume, queue backlog, etc. Currently, it is limited to CPU and memory."
"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."
"My team has found some bugs in OpenShift due to continuous integration, and this is an area for improvement in the platform. RedHat should fix the bugs. Another area for improvement in OpenShift is that upgrading clusters can be challenging, resulting in downtime. Application support also needs improvement in OpenShift because the platform doesn't support all applications in the cloud. I'd like upgraded storage in the next release of OpenShift, especially when I need to do a DR exercise. It would also be good if the platform allows mirroring with another cluster, or more portability in terms of moving applications to another cluster."
"There are challenges related to additional security layers, connectivity compliance for endpoints, and integration."
"Its virtual upgrades are time-consuming."
"There is no orchestration platform in OpenShift."
"OpenShift's storage management could be better."
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).
