Supports flexible hosting needs through seamless upgradability and strong monitoring capabilities
The most valuable features of Dell PowerEdge R-Series for me are the feature richness and the upgradability. I really love the way that it is so dynamically applicable for every situation, and they manage to have an all-in-one solution for every single situation. Dell PowerEdge has supported the growth and operational success of my company through its great compute power and price-to-performance ratio. Every time Dell is at the top of its game for us, and there is just no other brand for us that is able to reach that kind of price-to-performance ratio. Dell PowerEdge R-Series has features that specifically cater to the needs of my small company, such as iDRAC. The iDRAC system is a complete feature set for managing servers and hardware technically and monitoring-wise. It really fits in our system and our ecosystem, and monitoring-wise, it is excellent. They have all these sensors available via different protocols and end points, which I love, and the ability to manage and control everything via the iDRAC interface is just a welcome bonus. In our use case, Dell PowerEdge R-Series is very flexible. It is another computer which helps a lot because of the durability over time. They keep running, making scalability for getting more of those resources in our environment so easy.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The complete hyper-converged infrastructure of this solution has been most useful. PowerEdge has helped to reduce data processing time by 20%."
"I appreciate Dell solutions because they are reliable, and we know what we are getting; if we do need support, it is quick."
"PowerEdge is able to run the latest high-demand applications for our use case; they host our clusters and facilitate the building of environments, and we also like the iDRAC feature for monitoring system data and providing analytics."
"The feature of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers that I value the best is the iDRAC, as it is extremely good and simplifies tasks."
"My advice for anybody who is considering this solution is that it's the support from Dell that really makes things easier for us."
"I like the iDRAC feature. I have also seen long life from each part and haven't had to call support, as far as I remember. I use competitors like HPE and we need spare parts every year."
"This solution has absolutely fulfilled our needs well."
"Customers share with us their experiences, highlighting reliability, ease of use, maintenance, and lifecycle management. They frequently mention that this equipment doesn't break, stating it works and functions reliably."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei FusionServer is the fact that it's easy to use."
 

Cons

"The physical design could be improved as it is heavy and quite large when racked."
"We have experienced some challenges with iDRAC when upgrading firmware."
"My biggest grievance is related to getting a caddy. We have decommissioned our old servers that we used for development or testing. You cannot buy hard drives for old servers from Dell. It is very annoying."
"The T150 is a little bit bulky for what it is."
"Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers could be improved in areas such as cooling."
"Reduced cabling and improved power consumption management would be beneficial improvements."
"Pricing might be an area for improvement. There is competition, and lowering prices could be beneficial."
"They need to improve the support, as they are not very responsive, and they don't get back to you right away."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The more complex the server requirements, the more expensive it gets."
"Compared to other vendors, the prices are much lower."
"It's a one-time licensing fee for the device and we pay a quota per year for the support."
"The price is reasonable. You have to pay if you want quality. When we purchase something, we have to do some market analysis, and I haven't seen a significant difference compared to other solutions."
"Pricing appears to be comparatively favorable, particularly within the project's scope."
"The price is good for the quality of the Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers."
"The cost structure associated with Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers aligns closely with the prevailing norms established within the information technology hardware sector."
"The solution's analytics helped to decrease production downtime by at least 30%."
