Dell ObjectScale Reviews

The tool is easy to use. 

Dell ECS needs to improve its performance. 

Dell ECS is stable. I rate it a seven out of ten. 

I rate the solution's scalability a five out of ten. My company has 2000 users. 

The tool's support is good. 

The tool's deployment is easy. 

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten. I recommend it since it is reliable, stable, and easy to use. 

We use the solution for archives and unstructured data.

It is a good product. The performance is good.

The initial setup is not so easy.

I have been using the solution for three to four years.

The tool is very stable.

The tool has unlimited scalability. We have one architect and a few enterprise engineers on our technical team.

The initial setup is not so easy. However, we have the skills. We can contact Dell’s engineers for remote deployment. They provide a service called ProDeploy. It is an expensive option, so we prefer not to contact them. If something goes wrong, we can involve the engineers.

The product is quite expensive. The vendor provides us with discounts, though.

We compared the solution with HPE and NetApp. Dell ECS is cheaper than HPE but a little bit more expensive than NetApp.

Our company hasn't sold the solution yet. However, we designed several projects and have at least two in progress. We have certified engineers and architects to draw and design everything. Currently, we have a project for archiving photocopies of tax reports. I recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

My customers for Dell ECS belong to the healthcare industry. If a customer has a lot of images, a large amount of data, and multiple websites, Dell ECS is a recommended product to use.

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.

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.

I've been working with Dell ECS for a few months now.

Dell ECS is a stable solution.

Dell ECS is a scalable solution.

So far, the technical support for Dell ECS has been good.

I didn't do the setup for Dell ECS, so I'm not aware of how easy or complex it is.

If I remember correctly, Dell ECS is an appliance, so if you buy Dell ECS, you also have to buy the hardware, while IBM is standalone software, so you can buy IBM as software only without needing to buy the hardware.

On a scale of one to five, I'm rating the pricing for Dell ECS a four.

I evaluated IBM Cloud Object Storage.

I'm not a user of object storage solutions, but a seller.

I provide Dell ECS to clients.

Five people use Dell ECS within my organization.

Dell ECS is a solution I would recommend to others.

My rating for Dell ECS is seven out of ten because IBM has a better object storage solution.

We use this solution for object storage.

This solution is very easy to use, and is very reliable.

The troubleshooting feature of this solution needs to be improved, to allow organizations to fix issues without having to contact the support team.

We have found the storage to be very stable with this solution.

This solution is easily scalable, but requires businesses to buy upgrades in blocks; these cannot be purchased individually.

We implemented this solution using a vendor team.

The charges for this solution are made in blocks of models, which are purchased depending on what features an organization requires.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We are using Dell EMC ECS for our web applications.

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.

I have used Dell EMC ECS within the past 12 months.

I have been satisfied with the stability.

The scalability of Dell EMC ECS has been acceptable for our needs.

We have had a few issues but the support has been very good.

The solution is easy to deploy.

We have an IT team that does the implementation of the solution.

I rate Dell EMC ECS an eight out of ten.

Dell EMC ECS is the leading storage area network, you can do anything with it. Some companies have 10,000 users, it depends on the structure.

The technology is very good, it performs well.

It is a good solution, except for the cost.

I have been using Dell EMC ECS for 15 years.

The stability is perfect.

Dell EMC ECS is an enterprise solution. It works for small, medium and large enterprise organizations.

Technical support of Dell EMC ECS is fine as long as you are paying your licensing for both software and hardware. If you are paying for higher level support you will receive higher level support.

I have worked on all enterprise storage solutions.

All storage is different. You need qualified people who understand storage to install it.

The solution requires a qualified competent technical team to install it.

Dell EMC ECS solution is expensive. It requires an annual subscription, monthly will not work for the user or for Dell.

This solution can be for everybody. You need to assess your own needs. Dell EMC ECS covers solutions across the board. You can't go wrong with a universal leadership product.

I rate the solution an 8 out of 10.

Dell EMC ECS is for the object storage that is specifically designed for the purpose.

I am satisfied with this solution.

The performance is good.

They do not have complete documentation, which is very weak and could be improved.

When you take the course, it's unclear how it actually logs in the information and how the dockers work. The Ui is misleading.

I have been working with Dell EMC ECS for five or six years.

Dell EMC ECS is a stable solution.

It's a scalable product.

I have contacted technical support several times. I am satisfied with them.

The technical support is good.

The installation is complicated. It's extremely difficult.

The installation is done by the EMC team.

We initially purchased all of the licenses at the same time.

I would recommend this solution to others who are considering using it.

I would rate Dell EMC ECS an eight out of ten.

We are using it mainly for storage. We have its latest version.

It is 100% stable. It is also scalable.

Its security can be improved.

I have been using this solution since they took over EMC.

It is 100% stable.

It is scalable. We have approximately 5,600 users.

I have always found Dell very helpful.

Its installation is fine. The deployment duration varies based on the size and the number of deployments sites, but it has been pretty straightforward for me. Dell always provided good assistance.

I installed it myself. We have a team of ten for deployment and maintenance.

We are not paying for the license at this stage.

I am pretty happy with this product. We plan to keep using it. It is a good product.

I would rate Dell EMC ECS a nine out of ten.

We create a service for our customers to access EMC Storage.

We use this product for an on-premises server to access the EMC storage. We locate our EMC in our IDC center, and we provide our enterprise customers access to it. 

We sell this service, space, and AWS SAN storage.

This product is very competitive. It's a good product.

In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support. They don't have many channels or distributions to provide professional services.

They only provide preventative services for themselves. It is very difficult for us to resell this service to our enterprise customers because EMC doesn't have many resources. This is an area that needs to be improved. 

Our customers need EMC for their Big Data services.

This product is very competitive but the professional services need to be improved. 

Also, the price could be reduced. We need more marketing activity in Taiwan, as it would be very helpful in trying to resell this product.

I have been selling the latest version of this solution for six months.

It's a very stable storage solution.

Because we wanted to provide our enterprise customers with a multi-tenancy service, but they don't have the multi-tenancy architecture, they can only use it on-premises at one company. We contacted Dell EMC ECS and we created a scenario for the mechanics to build out a multi-tenancy service.

This is something that was not originally provided with Dell EMC ECS.

Dell has a very poor support channel in Taiwan. They sell the models directly to our enterprise customers. They don't have a very good vendor support system. 

We need to start it ourselves, then we can provide it to our enterprise customers.

Dell EMC ECS is too expensive.

We plan to continue selling this solution, but we need them to support it on more than just a case by case basis because it takes too long. 

It depends on the Dell EMC resources but we cannot rely on their distributors for help. It's not a good enough business model.

I would recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it. That said, there are a few improvements needed, including that it could be cheaper.

I would rate this product a seven out of ten.

We primarily use this as a storage solution. My system is based on it.

The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution.

The pricing, at least compared to HP, is quite good.

The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems.

I've been using this solution for 12 years at this point. It's been more than a decade.

The stability is extremely good. It's one of its selling points. We don't have bugs or glitches. It doesn't freeze. It's completely reliable.

The scalability is quite good. However, in order to scale, we need to buy a new version in order to do so. Other than that, it's pretty good.

Our whole system is on this storage, therefore all of our ministry users can use the system.

Although we have no plans to increase usage right now, we will in the future.

We did use a different solution previously. It was an HP product. The solution was older and we didn't see a new version that met our needs, so we switched over to Dell, which had a very good reputation and price.

The solution's initial setup is not complex. It's very straightforward.

Our deployment was more than six years ago, however, from what I can recall, it took about two weeks to one month from beginning to end.

You only need two to three people for deployment and maintenance.

We had a reseller in our country that assisted us in the implementation process.

The pricing on the solution is pretty good. We pay for licensing on a yearly basis.

We're just customers. We don't have a business relationship with Dell. We're using the version before Unity. I'm not sure the name of it.

I'd recommend the solution. I'd rate it nine out of ten overall.
