Pros
"Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have been stable and reliable over the last decade.""We can pull out elements and change them ourselves.""They are very stable. They are rock solid. I am happy with them.""We like their quality. I have also dealt with HPE and other manufacturers. In terms of service, Dell is optimal.""What truly impresses me about Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers is their unwavering commitment to customer service, providing great assistance throughout the entire product lifecycle.""The management portal is essential because it gives you a lot of flexibility. You don't have to be at the location to manage the server. You can power it on and off remotely or start an installation remotely. All you need to do is connect it to the network and you can do things from thousands of miles away.""The active directory and file server are valuable features.""It works perfectly, especially in terms of availability and reliability, without any type of issue, which is why we are very happy with it."

Cons
"I've had some trouble where the customers are not happy with the Toshiba drives, and it's a challenge when it comes to specific requests for Dell to a non-deviate, and only use Seagate drives.""There is a suggestion to potentially revisit pricing.""They need to improve the support, as they are not very responsive, and they don't get back to you right away.""I do not have any input as such. There can be a bit more expansive AI portfolio, but I have not worked on any AI projects with Dell, so I might not be up to date in knowledge.""We wanted to have two storage cards during the onboarding process of the solution, which were available only on the more expensive version of the boxes that we usually use for work in our company.""The maintenance for this solution could be improved.""There is room for improvement in technical support.""I would appreciate the capability to carry out live updates without the need to take the system offline."
