Featured Reviews

Santiago Zaragoza - PeerSpot reviewer
Systems Engineer at Global Telecommunication Group
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.
Mike Bellemans - PeerSpot reviewer
Project manager at Sopraco NV
One of the products in the market that is the easiest to set up and maintain
Performance and scalability-wise, there are certain areas where the product lacks and needs improvement as it does not provide a lot of fancy features presently. In general, it is a normal product that is good enough for our company. For the time being, my company does not need any extra features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
"We appreciate the stability and easy mountings of all the machines."
"We have not experienced any issues with the Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers' performance, as it is stable."
"The installation and configuration are a bit difficult but the product's performance is unbeatable."
"I would say the stability of the system itself would be the biggest advantage."
"The IMM tool is great because we can upgrade different views and device versions very quickly. We can upgrade everything from a single point through a single dashboard, which is great for us because we also have Lenovo storage. Lenovo ThinkSystem also has Xclarity built into the system."
"It is a very good product, it is very easy to implement, and you can scale it easily."
"The hardware performance is very valuable."
"It's very easy to set up and energy-efficient; it's very compact and has enough connections on the front and back of the rack."
 

Cons

"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."
"From our side, our budgets are really not there. The availability of cash is a little bit limited. We buy as much as we can, If it was less expensive, we could buy more."
"Throughout the use of the product, special needs will arise which may require a global need."
"Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers availability could improve. We have been waiting two months for one server."
"It should have tools for integration with the cloud. We should be able to transmit data from our on-premises server to the servers in the cloud."
"The performance of the solution could be better."
"The RAID Management and the RAID Configuration tools need to be improved."
"Its price could be better. Its price is sometimes an issue for our clients. XClarity Controller is a very good feature, and Lenovo should include the XClarity Controller license without any additional cost. It should be integrated within the product."
"I definitely suggest potential users skip Lenovo and go for Dell EMC, which has good hardware, and great internal security components."
