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

"Since using the VxRail, I would say Dell VxRail P670N environment definitely makes our work easier, whether that is directly due to the VxRail or not."
"It has helped us reduce unplanned downtime by 20% to 30%."
"Enhanced storage and compute density enables the R920 to run intensive mission critical applications for any midsized to large enterprise environment effortlessly."
"The stability is good, it also lasts a relatively long time, our customers are typically looking for something that will hold up for about five years, and this solution does that, as it's not buggy, there aren't glitches, and it doesn't crash or break down."
"The availability is excellent."
"I would rate Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers a ten out of ten."
"The biggest benefit in the product is mainly because Dell PowerEdge R-Series is a well-known company with very good support."
"PowerEdge hasn't let us down in any situation."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"Capacity and performance could always be improved."
"Customer service receives a rating of eight out of ten. A perfect ten cannot be given because there is always something that can be improved."
"There might be room for improvement in terms of efficiency, particularly with PowerEdge servers."
"The way we can manage the environment through the solution's GUI could be improved."
"I chose a rating of nine instead of ten because there is always room for improvements in technology."
"PowerEdge has a high price tag. The price is a critical factor in our company."
"The pricing could be better, as budget is always a huge thing for us. Anytime we can get better pricing, it helps convince the business to adopt it."
"It would be easier if the remote connection to the server could be done through the USB port. From the server, we should be able to connect to a laptop or a management workstation through a USB port."
"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

"Pricing appears to be comparatively favorable, particularly within the project's scope."
"The price is good for the quality of the Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price of this solution is reasonable. It's very comparable to similar solutions."
"The main reason I choose Dell there is cost. Dell is cheaper than HPE. Why would I want to pay a premium for an HPE product when I'm getting the same amount of support, the same amount of data protection, and the same amount of performance from Dell?"
"The pricing for PowerEdge servers is reasonable."
"The pricing for Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers is on par with everything else at the moment."
"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."
