| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Business Development Manager at a tech services company with 51-200 employees | 4.5 | I recommend Dell PowerEdge M primarily for mid-sized clients not seeking a virtualization platform but needing robust compute power. Its scalability and management console are key advantages over competitors like HP. Improvements in connectivity and storage are desirable. |
| IT Consultant at Ancura | 4.5 | I found Dell PowerEdge M's template creation useful for consistent server deployment and appreciated the easy iDRAC configuration. However, VLAN setup is cumbersome, and Dell's training offerings do not match what VMware previously provided. |
| Senior System Administrator at Khushhali Microfinance Bank | 4.0 | No summary available |
| Director De Red at a comms service provider with 201-500 employees | 3.5 | No summary available |
| Manager at Necsol | 4.5 | No summary available |
| Automation Instrumentation Consultant at Andrade Gutierrez | 4.5 | We use Dell PowerEdge M primarily for simple data logging in solar power plants. While not exceptional, the server's standout feature is its good after-sales service. We rely on Dell's support and have no ROI data or improvements needed. |
| President at Pinnacle Computer Services, Inc. | 4.5 | I use Dell PowerEdge M for virtualization due to its flexible interface options, including 10, 25, or 100 GB fiber channels. While satisfied with the ROI and interface, I believe the support team requires improvement. I prefer Dell over HP and Lenovo. |
| Senior Solutions Architect at ePlus Technology | 3.0 | I use Dell PowerEdge M for hyper-converged infrastructures with VMware and SQL solutions. It offers great enterprise management features and scalability at an average price. However, it ranks third behind Cisco and HP Synergy, and its technical support needs improvement. |
