Reliable data platform has supported continuous R&D and 24/7 manufacturing operations
The after-sales support is one factor for improvement, and the cost to extend the support and warranty of Dell PowerEdge XE-Series is the main factor in whether we want to continue using the product or transition to another solution in the future. Dell PowerEdge XE-Series consumes a lot of power, so we have to really plan before deploying more Dell PowerEdge XE-Series in our environment; that is something we have to consider. Based on my experience so far, I am quite satisfied and do not see any other improvements needed for Dell PowerEdge XE-Series. My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Dell PowerEdge XE-Series is that they are a bit costly. If Dell can work on the pricing, that would be good, making Dell more competitive over other products.

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

"Technical support from Dell is the best when compared to other vendors."
"The most valuable feature is that it can support up to 32 drives of internal storage."
"The reliability, the performance, and the product that is delivered make the cost-benefit work very well with what our company was looking for, and it perfectly met expectations, delivering what was actually advertised to us and what was in fact delivered, with very high reliability."
"Dell PowerEdge XE-Series has contributed positively to the development of our cloud services."
"The features of Dell PowerEdge XE-Series that I like the most are the performance and the GPU, and the benefits I have seen from running AI workloads on PowerEdge servers include high performance."
"The integration with NVIDIA's B300 CPUs has impacted our workloads and performance positively, as we achieved better performance from the last generation of the XE servers that we had, enabling us to run much better models in our network."
"The most valuable feature is the trusted platform module."
"The main reason for using Dell PowerEdge XE-Series is its GPU capacity, which is far above the regular PowerEdge servers."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"We use OpenManager a lot, and that can be a bit clunky at times. They can make that better."
"Today, my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is difficult, but since one to two years ago, it has been very simple with Dell."
"It is mostly stable, but the usual problem would be, for example, upgrading to a newer version of VMware or dealing with compatibility issues during the process."
"Dell PowerEdge XE Servers can improve by adapting HCI technology."
"There are some areas for improvement with Dell PowerEdge XE-Series; it's more of a Dell issue."
"Dell PowerEdge XE-Series can be improved by having more documentation about known errors."
"The big problem with Dell PowerEdge XE-Series is the volatility in pricing, so trying to find stability is pretty important to us."
"The support team must improve the speed of response."
"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 pricing model is quite competitive."
"Dell has competitive pricing."
"You always want slightly cheaper, but overall, they are quite comparable and quite neutral."
"There are different types of licensing available, that works well for customers. The product is not very much to purchase."
"If you want an SLA for parts and equipment then you need to purchase a support agreement."
"This solution is priced very reasonably."
