Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fujitsu Primergy BX400 Series has two processors."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"I like the feature that allows for a backup and that is suitable for me."
"With the tool, we can easily upgrade and ensure compatibility between operating systems, hardwares and drivers. Among other features, the hardware also stands out because it is certified and aligns with the processor manufacturers like Intel. This enables them to offer the latest options which are not available with other suppliers."
"The product stability has been excellent."
"The management platform is great."
"It was not complex to deploy."
"The hybrid solution is much more stable than other products."
"The scalability of the solution met our needs."
"It provides the necessary infrastructure for our operations."
 

Cons

"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."
"The product’s pricing could be a little cheaper."
"For improvements, the iDRAC application isn't very intuitive to handle."
"The need to update the firmware and check if there is any bug in the product is one of the areas where Dell PowerEdge C falls short and needs to make improvements."
"It would be better if it worked with SMTP servers on the cloud. Right now, it only allows notifications via the SMTP server. In the next release, I would like to have a better processor."
"The current memory could be improved."
"It would be easier if data center management and disaster recovery were combined."
"It would be better if the solution provided simplified storage and hardware with an integrated one-tier architecture."
"There could be some more ports added in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The licensing cost of PowerEdge C is very high."
"The product costs can be high, especially for disks and other components."
"PowerEdge C is a reasonably priced product, and the pricing depends on how many years you need the product. The cost also includes the support."
"I would rate the pricing 4 out of 10, in terms of its cost expense."
"I don't handle the financial aspects, so I don't know the exact costs, but in terms of the value it brings, it's worth it."
"PowerEdge C is very expensive, but personally, I think it's worth the price."
"When we talk about pricing it is the cheapest on the market that I have found."
