Hybrid workloads have gained resilience and deliver reliable performance for critical data
The main issues are the acquisition cost, which is really high, and when it is necessary to replace parts, the cost is also a bit high. I think there are points for improvement in support as well. What was missing to reach a perfect rating is exactly the high acquisition and maintenance cost of these servers. Cost is really a sticking point. There is a relatively high cost, both for acquisition and for licensing some Dell software, such as the paid iDRAC licenses. I believe the cost, depending on how I use it and the workload I need, is worth it. However, I cannot forget that it is, in a way, an expensive solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"My experience with Dell PowerEdge C- Series is very good and positive."
"The best features of this solution are that it's easy to implement and manage, and I assess the balance of performance, flexibility, and scalability provided by this solution as good."
"The scalability of the product is good since it offers high performance and capacity."
"The solutions are easy to handle, priced correctly, reliable, and dependable."
"With the tool, we can easily upgrade and ensure compatibility between operating systems, hardwares and drivers. Among other features, the hardware also stands out because it is certified and aligns with the processor manufacturers like Intel. This enables them to offer the latest options which are not available with other suppliers."
"The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect for our organization, with user-friendly management, very good security, fair pricing, and useful new features added with every release."
"The most significant benefits, in my experience, are the configuration, reliability of the equipment, and the support of Dell."
"We deployed four PowerEdge C6100 when we needed to reduce the power consumption and the amount of heat generated in our data-center."
"It is a very practical solution because you have all the servers in a minimal space."
"We installed Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series for a high PC solution, and for this reason, some Microsoft licenses and other special licenses were embedded or bundled to the Fujitsu solution."
"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
 

Cons

"It would be easier if data center management and disaster recovery were combined."
"There has been an increase in quality issues."
"It would be better if it worked with SMTP servers on the cloud. Right now, it only allows notifications via the SMTP server. In the next release, I would like to have a better processor."
"They could automate or simplify it more."
"The solution’s pricing could be cheaper."
"I am uncertain about the return on investment and whether I have seen a return on investment with Dell PowerEdge C- Series."
"The reliability needs improvement."
"There is no return on investment or cost reductions in the long run after implementing Dell PowerEdge C- Series."
"It can have more automation."
"It can have more automation. In addition, Fujitsu should have a broader portfolio, not specifically in terms of the service solutions, but more in terms of the big picture. A broader portfolio would be nice for providing different solutions for the customers."
"It is much better to use “normal” servers. The initial investment for a blade server is very high and creates dependency."
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"When we talk about pricing it is the cheapest on the market that I have found."
"The product costs can be high, especially for disks and other components."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 10, in terms of its cost expense."
"We buy licenses for the solution's advanced features."
"PowerEdge C is a product that is priced at a medium range, so it is not too expensive."
"Despite the slightly higher price, we prefer Dell due to the high quality of their products."
"There is a need to pay towards the annual subscription-based licensing model offered by the solution. The product is moderately priced. Price is a critical issue, and it is always good to have moderately priced solutions."
"No license is required to operate the product."
"There are special licenses that are connected to the usage. We installed Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series for a high PC solution, and for this reason, some Microsoft licenses and other special licenses were embedded or bundled to the Fujitsu solution."
