Offers seamless protocol integration for diverse solutions with flexible API communication

Pros

"The most valuable features of Dell ECS are its capability to integrate multiple protocols seamlessly with other Dell solutions like PowerScale and data domain."

Solution provides stable and efficient object storage with extensive API support

Pros

"Dell ECS is a very stable solution and most of the S3 APIs are supported."

Cons

"Dell ECS is not fully compatible with S3, as it supports around ninety percent of S3 APIs, which can be improved. Additionally, sometimes there is an issue with memory where it hangs, and they can improve garbage collection, which takes up a lot of space during cleanup."

Strong performance with excellent support and room for GUI enhancements

Pros

"The performance and support from Dell EMC are very good."

Efficient storage solution with a valuable data compression capability

Pros

"The setup was straightforward."

Cons

Scalable and stable object storage platform, with good storage group functionality

Pros

"Competitive object storage platform that's stable and scalable."

Cons

"Dell EMC ECS should support segregation of duty, particularly for role-based access controls. Having a single pane of glass for smarter observation and better control mechanism would also make this solution better."
