Offers a good interface and return on investment to users
My impression of the scalability of the product is good. You can put a lot of memory in the tool now, and you have a good choice in processors, so you can go wherever you want or do whatever you want with your money. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers remarkable flexibility, reliability, and extensive software support."
"The server is more common for the mass market and although it is nothing special, what stands out is the good after-sales service provided."
"The solution's most valuable features are centralized monitoring and management and the ease of upgrading firmware."
"The installation is easy."
"It helps us to manage multiple chassis from a single website."
"It allows us to consolidate our infrastructure very efficiently, enabling us to deploy eight servers in a seven-unit density."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its interface."
"PowerEdge has high functionality, especially for automation on the firmware, which allows us to receive alerts for issues."
"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
 

Cons

"The last year, we experienced problems with support, as Dell decreased staff in Latin America, impacting support quality."
"The firmware updates for the product need improvement."
"The caching is a bit weak, making the hardware non-responsive, especially on hypervisor layers like ESXi or Hyper-V."
"The costing could be improved as it is somewhat expensive."
"I believe that the tool’s support team is an area with certain concerns where improvements can be made."
"Dell support should be faster."
"One area for improvement is VLAN configuration."
"There is room for improvement in scalability."
"The initial setup of Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series was complex."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Dell PowerEdge M price is comparable to other solutions but cheaper than IBM. However, the IBM solution is a higher grade solution whereas Dell PowerEdge M is a medium-level solution."
"The cost varies significantly depending on the server's configuration and can range from $10,000 to $60,000 for the same server line family."
"The product is budget-friendly. The initial cost for each server was around 10,000 euros. It's a standard price, not too high or too low."
"The solution's pricing is slightly higher."
"The pricing of PowerEdge Next is higher than it was before."
"It was budget friendly."
"If we would not have gone with the vendor we might have been charged unnecessarily for packages we did not need."
"I know we get three years basic, and the on-site licensing model for business seems fine. I wouldn't pay for a support plus or anything."
"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."
"No license is required to operate the product."
