Reviewer Insights for: Dell Object Scale

Dell Object Scale Likes & Dislikes

Like

massive scalability, s3 compatibility, hybrid and cloud integration

Like

We have been using Dell Object Storage over 10 years, we already knew its performance efficiency coupled with excellent scalability and ease of use.

Like

Easy to manage. It has an intuitive UI and built in reporting helps easily manage all the collected data with ease. Highly scalable. Storage can be expanded from terabytes to petabytes. High levels of security. Object Scale protects data from unwanted access, ransomware attacks and other cybersecurity threats through various safeguards such as data at rest encryption, resource isolation, etc.

Dislike

instillation/complexity, limits on operations, security issues

Dislike

As far as we know, we haven't faced any issues hence there is no case for dislike, however we'd be very happy if the support services were made more affordable for us.

Dislike

The hardware needed is quite costly. These features can be better utilized or leveraged in an all Dell environment. This can be quite complex for smaller teams without the necessary expertise to utilize. This is due to its Kubernetes native architecture which requires skilled expertise to effectively deploy and utilize.

    Object Scale: Highly scalable and secure amidst cost concern

    5.0
    Jan 14, 2026
    Object Scale is designed for modern workloads and is highly optimized for the AI era. It features robust security protocols that prevent any leaks or attacks. It is suited for use on the edge. Although it has many positives, it is not suitable for those organizations that only want entry level costing.
