Supports flexible hosting needs through seamless upgradability and strong monitoring capabilities
The most valuable features of Dell PowerEdge R-Series for me are the feature richness and the upgradability. I really love the way that it is so dynamically applicable for every situation, and they manage to have an all-in-one solution for every single situation. Dell PowerEdge has supported the growth and operational success of my company through its great compute power and price-to-performance ratio. Every time Dell is at the top of its game for us, and there is just no other brand for us that is able to reach that kind of price-to-performance ratio. Dell PowerEdge R-Series has features that specifically cater to the needs of my small company, such as iDRAC. The iDRAC system is a complete feature set for managing servers and hardware technically and monitoring-wise. It really fits in our system and our ecosystem, and monitoring-wise, it is excellent. They have all these sensors available via different protocols and end points, which I love, and the ability to manage and control everything via the iDRAC interface is just a welcome bonus. In our use case, Dell PowerEdge R-Series is very flexible. It is another computer which helps a lot because of the durability over time. They keep running, making scalability for getting more of those resources in our environment so easy.

Simple to use and compatible with all other operating systems
I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. There are currently about 2,000 users of this solution in our company as it's a hospital. We also have plans to scale further.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For us, the most valuable feature is the iDRAC. It helps us to solve problems when a server is stuck or hung or we don't have any network access."
"In the six years we have been using it, we have never had a fault/failure/malfunction hardware-wise."
"We are very satisfied with Dell in terms of servers and service. We are happy with Dell servers. They are aligned with our services. They are robust."
"For a small, extra cost, you can get OpenManage Essentials with configuration management, which allows you to deploy pre-configured hardware templates making mass deployment easy."
"The complete package we get from Dell makes work easier; it is not just the handling of the devices, but also the support and if there are ever problems."
"Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers scale really well with the growing needs of my company."
"The solution is a great service; they do their job and require minimal effort from my side as a system engineer, with very few errors or malfunctions."
"Dell PowerEdge R-Series has had an incredibly beneficial impact on my organization with speed and reliability."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"More integration to third-party services would be a great upgrade."
"Although PowerEdge's price is high."
"We are leaning away from this particular product because Dell's VxRail solution makes us buy four nodes at a time which is not scalable. Other solutions such as Cisco offer more innovation on this front."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers are competitive, but there is room for energy efficiency improvement considering the thermal design and power consumption."
"The price is very high."
"After the expiration of support, it is sometimes challenging to find parts like hard drives, especially for obsolete models."
"The versions that I work with, they used to max out on memory, on RAM, quickly, so I'd want to think in the newer versions, they actually allocate more processing power and more RAM to them."
"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The overall pricing and licensing are fair according to the market."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The more complex the server requirements, the more expensive it gets."
"They seem to have become more expensive. I've not done a comparison with other vendors recently. If the price increases more, we would need to do a comparison next year just to make sure that we are benchmarking our server purchases correctly."
"The solution's prices are good, especially considering what you get to use...The licensing aspect of the solution is also fine."
"The pricing is good compared to other products."
"We weren't paying very much, but it was at the end of the lifecycle. We are now using the VxRail hyper-converged infrastructure, and the pricing was very similar for the same amount of power but with easier automation."
"It is expensive. The price needs to be more competitive. Additional licenses are required to enable some of the features for scalability."
