We performed a comparison between Dell PowerEdge FX and HPE ProLiant DL Servers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rack Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a scalable solution. My company hasn't faced any difficulties related to the product's performance and scalability since Dell ensures to provide a high-performance service."
"The best feature is PowerEdge's ability to stack up eight blade servers in one 2U chassis."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"The product seamlessly integrates with the storage portfolio."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it has very robust servers and a very heavy load. We've been working on servers now for 10 years and those servers are still up and running. Those servers are still very powerful until today."
"The remote management is great."
"The power efficiency is very good and nice."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple and easy."
"It is very stable. This is the feedback that I'm getting from my customers for the hardware. It is also 100% scalable. HPE is also very specialized when it comes up to the server industry. It is not only about the rack servers; it is also about the blade servers. They were the first ones to bring these to the market more than ten years ago."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"This solution is very scalable. When we bought the DL580, we bought it with full capacity. It is great for our business."
"It is very stable. I can rate it as a 99.99% stable server from HPE. There is zero downtime, especially in the ProLiant 380 series."
"The solution's deployment was easy."
"This product is feature-rich and is easy to install."
"The hardware is reliable."
"When we need to, we can get through to technical support and get the right person."
"Before the cloud solution and virtualization, we relied on Dell hardware from specific vendors. The lifecycle for cloud infrastructure is shorter than it used to be. We need a longer lifecycle from the IT supplier providing the computing solution."
"I don't have any technical issues, but I would like to see the commercial side improve as compared to all other OEMs."
"There are certain shortcomings with Dell PowerEdge FX's integration capabilities with different operating systems, where improvements are needed."
"The product must provide more integration."
"In terms of the cost, it is a little bit high, meaning, there is some difference in the cost compared to the equivalent product with HP servers."
"When it comes to Dell PowerEdge FX, the area of concern revolves around the delivery time where improvements are required."
"They could improve from a manufacturing perspective."
"It should have more simplified management. It is a common problem where vendors think that they have simplified a solution, but the users don't look at it in the same way. A vendor thinks that there are only ten steps for a task, but we consider them as many steps. It should also have more support for NVMe. For high performance and speed, there should also be more network cards for the fiber channel and ethernet."
"They should build risc processors with high speed."
"They should continue to maintain the stability that is there."
"The support lifecycle for the product for the Telco application should be better."
"The technical support has room for improvement."
"I would like the solution to improve its storage and performance. Also, I would like to replicate data between on-premises and cloud in future versions."
"It would be great if HP could use a ProLiant Server to run HP-UX, the Unix build from HPE. Right now, HP-UX cannot run on the ProLiant architecture."
"My customers are tilted toward GPU users, and the mixed version of the enabled hard drives require — flash drives, SSD, NNL, and PLAS — all mixed and matched in a single box. These are requirements I've already shared with the HPE account manager."
"I want to improve hyper-converged sites."
