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.
"I am impressed with the solution's EC2 EKS."
"It offers durability, high availability, fault tolerance, and a high TCO benefit."
"Easy to deploy through the channel model for serverless architecture and easy to integrate through the organization model."
"Amazon AWS has a better portfolio. They have an impressive technology and service portfolio."
"The monitoring is the most valuable aspect of the product."
"It's very user-friendly."
"It has many choices of computer options, storage options, and even database options."
"You can build and release applications quickly with AWS instead of waiting for months to get the necessary hardware. That's the real benefit. The time-to-market for developing applications is much shorter."
"We face very few hardware failures."
"The performance is good."
"It is a stable platform."
"The technology is very good, it performs well."
"This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable."
"This product is very competitive."
"I like that the solution is easy to scale and that's its stable."
"The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"Some of their well-listed services are not super configurable."
"Price can always be cheaper."
"There is a feature called Kinesis, which has to do with image processing. There are a few artificial intelligence tools that Amazon AWS should improve on."
"More complete and specific training for many of the technologies, specifically with Python Django and the CMS (Mezzanine)."
"Recently we had a long conversation about functionality that is missing in Alexa — in Mexico, specifically. Alexa for Business is a service and platform that Americans can use to make a call to an Amazon Echo device or a telephone via the app. But in Mexico, we are not allowed to use that technology. This is a significant disadvantage of AWS for those living in Mexico."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of hybrid Kubernetes management."
"The sorting model in AWS is a little bit complicated. When you are going through any component, you can get some surprising results."
"We don't know whether to increase server capacity or alert notifications. We don't know which hard disc to purchase or what the next recommended CPU is. There should be an indicator. We would like to have more guidance."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"They do not have complete documentation, which is very weak and could 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."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"Dell ECS needs to improve its performance."
"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 solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"Its security can be improved."
