We performed a comparison between HPE Superdome X and PowerEdge C based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it."
"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."
"Superdome X is a system that can compete in terms of performance and uptime, but it's now standard. That is the great value. There are competitors like IBM, for example, but IBM has a propietary operating system. With Superdome X, you have a system that can run Windows, Red Hat, or VMware, but in a mission critical server."
"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."
"We've got a few of them, because we needed some really large machines. So far, they've been working pretty good."
"This product is very reliable."
"I like the robustness of the machine. Similar performance could likely be achieved with other configurations, but this machine is very stable."
"The scalability of the product is good since it offers high performance and capacity."
"It is a scalable solution."
"PowerEdge C is the best server I have worked with. I like that it's user-friendly. PowerEdge C performs very well."
"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 initial setup is not complex. It's a user-friendly tool."
"The management platform is great."
"It is a scalable platform."
"One of the main features that attract customers to buy their products is the great management tool and almost zero failure rate, making it easy to use."
"I know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported."
"HPE Superdome X can improve by adding a lot of cloud capabilities to allow this solution to be cloud-ready in case the customer wants to move it to the cloud."
"It would be helpful if you could do the maintenance completely online."
"I'd like to see the onboarding of some storage class memory to really expand the already very large RAM, into something that could be even much bigger."
"In this specific model, it could be beneficial to have a server configuration similar to Cisco, like the kind offered in HPE Superdome Flex X280. The ability to separate the chassis is important because we are forced to use two chassis even with lower loads. So introducing more flexibility in the Superdome environment would be helpful."
"What would make it better from my point of view is if HPE spent more time on testing with the actual built-in Red Hat Linux drivers, as opposed to always trying to say, "Use our driver.""
"There could be some more ports added in the future."
"The product’s cost needs improvement."
"HP is a little bit lower in terms of price."
"The reliability needs improvement."
"The product’s pricing could be a little cheaper."
"There is some trouble with the stability part of the product, making it an area where improvements are required."
"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 should be improved in terms of future expansion. We should be able to have additional free slots for future extensions in terms of memory."
