The reviewer primarily works with HCI, specifically Dell VxRail Hyper-Converged Infrastructure. Dell's HCI solution is considered superior to HP's in Egypt, where most customers prefer VxRail. For HP products, they provide blades, servers, C7000, and DL380. Dell's product range includes servers, storage, and hyper-converged infrastructures. Dell offers better pricing for server and technology, especially for HCI since they use VMware, which is considered one of the best hypervisors. Dell's Data Domain is recognized as the leading backup appliance globally, offering cyber resilience backup solutions. The reviewer has experience with Dell PowerProtect from eight years ago and Dell Avamar, which is particularly suitable for larger companies and virtual environments. They have also worked with Unity, VNX, and VMAX all-flash storage solutions, with the VMAX implementation using all NVMe (non-volatile memory). For backup solutions, they utilize GBS, Veeam, Veritas, and Dell solutions including DBS and Data Domain. The reviewer rates this solution 9 out of 10.

Whether an organization should choose Dell or HPE depends on the organization’s current infrastructure. If they already have racks and infrastructure from HPE, we may incline towards HPE. Most of my implementations were on Dell. We provide only software solutions to our customers. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
If others are looking into using Dell PowerEdge servers, my advice would be that it's quite good for the usual workloads. That's what I've experienced, especially for the virtualized versions and storage. I definitely recommend using the solution for workloads. Most companies, especially the lightweight ones, prefer the utilization, so it was adapted to their needs. Overall, I would rate it a seven out of ten. It's a general-purpose server, so it's not very powerful. If it were more powerful, it would be more expensive. So it's a good compromise between performance and price.
