I have used PowerEdge servers for about six or seven years.

PowerEdge C servers are stable.

I rate PowerEdge C eight out of 10 for scalability.

Setting up PowerEdge C servers is straightforward compared to other servers. The setup time depends on the technician and our data center guy, but they can typically do it in a day. 

I rate PowerEdge C servers nine out of 10 for affordability. There are no additional costs, but you can purchase an extended five-year warranty. 

I rate PowerEdge C servers 10 out of 10. It's reliable and inexpensive hardware you can use for any situation, application, or data workload.

I use PowerEdge C for our clients. Our clients need new servers, and I configure them based on their needs. When the clients buy the server from us, the configuration on-site depends on their needs. It might be a basic configuration or an advanced configuration.

PowerEdge C is the best server I have worked with. I like that it's user-friendly. PowerEdge C performs very well.

It would be better if it worked with SMTP servers on the cloud. Right now, it only allows notifications via the SMTP server. In the next release, I would like to have a better processor. 

I have been using PowerEdge C for about five years.

PowerEdge C is a stable solution. 

On a scale from one to five, I would give PowerEdge C's stability a four. 

PowerEdge C's scalability depends on the client's architecture. It also depends on the manufacturer. 

On a scale from one to five, I would give technical support a four.

I have worked with HP, and I can see the difference quickly. PowerEdge C performs very well. 

The initial setup depends on the needs of the client. It will be straightforward if it's a rack mounted server or something similar. It will be easy to find the architecture of implementation on the rack. For rack mounting, it takes me about 15 to 20 minutes to implement this solution. It will take more time to implement if it's something like an iDRAC configuration, installation of the operating system, some other configuration, or virtualization.

I implemented this solution.

The cost depends on the configuration.

I chose PowerEdge C based on feedback from my friends, colleagues, and other companies. I tested it and found that it was a perfect product for me.

I would tell potential users to find the manual online and go through the information.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give PowerEdge C an eight.

I use the PowerEdge C server for the VOIP phone systems, and some other applications to save time.

PowerEdge C is compatible and a good solution for me.

I like the feature that allows for a backup and that is suitable for me.

The current memory could be improved.

I have been working with PowerEdge C for the past three years.

The stability is very good for PowerEdge C.

There are no current issues with scalability and we have four hundred individuals in the company. All of them are currently using PowerEdge C. We are going to increase usage in the next two years and expand.

I used IBM before switching to PowerEdge C. The price point is exactly what I needed and the product is good so I switched.

The installation was straightforward and easy to setup.

I installed it myself in fifteen minutes for the server and the container server.

We definitely are seeing a return on investment and we are making money.

When we talk about pricing it is the cheapest on the market that I have found.

I would encourage individuals who are looking for a simple and easily maintained solution to choose PowerEdge C. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate PowerEdge C a ten.

We primarily use the solution for supporting our internal applications.

So far, the product has made us more efficient in terms of energy usage and space usage utilization.

It does basically everything that we need it to do.

The compactness of the solution is its most valuable aspect.

We found the initial setup to be straightforward. 

The solution is stable. We haven't had any issues. 

It is possible to scale the solution.

Technical support has been helpful. 

The reliability needs improvement. We have had some issues.

The issue is that Dell's no longer selling this product in the near future. It's almost the end of life.

We've been using the solution since 2018.

The stability has been good. We haven't dealt with any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

While it is scalable, we haven't had the need to do so just yet.

We're a construction company and we have about 60 users at this time. That includes project managers. 

Right now, it's probably running at 60% capacity. We're not going to increase usage.

Technical support has been good. We are satisfied with the level of service on offer. 

We're currently looking at refreshing the hardware.

We had Dell rack-mount servers previously. We switched for space utilization.

EMC is our storage. That's not the Blades. The storage is the Unity box that we have.

The initial setup is straightforward and not overly difficult. It's a simple process.

The deployment is fast. It took us over a weekend. 

We had two personnel that handled deployment and maintenance. 

We handled the implementation process ourselves. We did not need any integrators or consultants.

In terms of ROI, it's performed and done what we expected for the price that we paid.

We pay a yearly licensing fee. It's comparable to others on the market.

There are not any other additional costs other than the licensing fee.

We did evaluate other options. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We're pretty happy with its capabilities. 

We use PowerEdge C for applications and databases. It's primarily for high-performance computing tasks. We do not use it for scoring and the company's high performance anymore.

The most significant benefits, in my experience, are the configuration, reliability of the equipment, and the support of Dell. We had a migration of some applications and needed to change the architecture from Spark to x86. We were concerned about the application's stability after the migration, but PowerEdge C delivered stability and availability for our applications. The migration was very transparent, and the automation was seamless.

For improvements, the iDRAC application isn't very intuitive to handle. We have it deployed on-premises.

I have experience with PowerEdge C.

A very stable solution. 

PowerEdge C's scalability depends on how we use it. We use it in bare metal, not virtualization, which limits its scalability.

The support team is excellent. 

Positive

Regarding the initial setup, configuring Dell PowerEdge C and setting it up initially takes about five hours, including working on initial configurations and remote access. We haven't faced any challenges with deployment and don't have a specific strategy for it. General maintenance isn't complex, and it doesn't require a lot of resources. We have systems in place in our data center to reduce maintenance needs. Sometimes, we face common issues like disk or memory failures, which are manageable.

I don't handle the financial aspects, so I don't know the exact costs, but in terms of the value it brings, it's worth it.

The benefits are significant, so we prefer PowerEdge C over other equipment. It might have a higher cost, but it effectively meets our specifications and application needs. The support from the branch and the availability andstability of the hardware makes it very easy to configure, change, and manage. We're delighted with it. Overall, I would give PowerEdge C a ten.

We use the solution to host VMs and install our clients' operating systems on the servers.

They should improve the solution's RNA process.

We have been using the solution for five years.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. We have four customers using it.

The solution's customer service could be better. The support partners and distributors delay in replying to queries.

The solution's initial setup process is easy. It involves mounting servers and upgrading the values. Afterward, we need to install and deploy it on the server. The time taken for deployment depends on clients' requirements. If they want to install the solution on the operating system, it takes an hour. But, in the case of complex configuration, it takes more time.

We buy licenses for the solution's advanced features, including iDRAC and support.

I advise others to look for more affordable and better solutions than Dell. I rate it as a five.
