Dell PowerEdge FX Reviews

We use this solution for database installations and workload applications, like enterprise business applications. It is a 2U rack server.

The product is good, and we are satisfied. The remote management is great. The remote management interface is called iDRAC Integrated Dell RemotePowerEdge. It can virtualize IT with VMware, which is good.

They could improve from a manufacturing perspective and not the product itself. For example, the lead time in production is not the best, and it currently takes more than eight weeks to receive goods when we place an order. It might be because of the shortage of silicon chips. It would be great for customers if they could reduce the lead time.

It does not have a graphic processing unit card, and they should add it.

It is very stable, and we can have the PowerEdge FX and still have the flavour of hyperconverged infrastructure software.

It is a scalable product and not challenging. We can scale up based on the number of disks if we want to upgrade the storage or the RAM. Also, we can scale up the computing by adding a new server and integrating it into the environment. Once we virtualize the infrastructure, it is very easy to upgrade.

Dell has a good portfolio for support. We can place an order, and there is an option to choose what kind of support we need. We can choose onsite support, remote support or an account manager responsible for our product. I rate the support a ten out of ten.

The setup is very user-friendly. It has wizards and different options. So the basic setup is very good. It is not complex at all, and I rate the setup a ten out of ten.

The price is negotiable based on the server specification. You need to specify what you need in terms of RAM storage and processor. But when you compare it with other solutions, the pricing is good. I rate the pricing a ten out of ten, with ten being competitive.

The functionality is the same as the competition, but Dell has more integration with VMware as the virtualization vendor. So when you buy Dell, you can get full support from Dell and VMware from just a single technical account manager or technical supporting engineer.

I rate this solution a ten out of ten. I would recommend Dell PowerEdge FX. If you buy about three servers and above with Dell, it's easier to integrate your server to have the hyperconverged infrastructure flavours from the servers.

We use it for our database for data warehouse analytics.

It has extremely high performance, and it is easy to manage.

It should have more simplified management. It is a common problem where vendors think that they have simplified a solution, but the users don't look at it in the same way. A vendor thinks that there are only ten steps for a task, but we consider them as many steps.

It should also have more support for NVMe. For high performance and speed, there should also be more network cards for the fiber channel and ethernet.

I have been using this solution for probably four years.

I would rate Dell EMC PowerEdge FX a seven out of ten.

We use PowerEdge for the hosting and implementation of our cloud deployment.

We like PowerEdge for its high-performance computing architecture. 

Before the cloud solution and virtualization, we relied on Dell hardware from specific vendors. The lifecycle for cloud infrastructure is shorter than it used to be. We need a longer lifecycle from the IT supplier providing the computing solution. 

I've been using PowerEdge FX since 2017.

PowerEdge has been part of our core package since 2017. It's stable. We haven't faced any issues with the computing set. 

PowerEdge FX is scalable.

Our system integrator provides the first level of support on top of our agreement with the vendor itself, so I can say we haven't had any issues with the support yet.

Setting up PowerEdge FX was easy to handle. We have had the help of a system integrator.

There's no license for the PowerEdge hardware.

I rate PowerEdge FX nine out of 10. It's a stable and scalable solution our customers can rely on for their applications, especially physical applications. 

Companies that have ERP or other solutions, such as SAP S/4HANNA, Microsoft Exchange, and SAP HANA, use Dell PowerEdge FX for reliability.

The most valuable feature of Dell PowerEdge FX is you can customize the solution to your specifications, such as speed. Additionally, part orders are shipped and received quickly when a part needs to be replaced.

There are times when a part might break down and we need to have Dell replace it. 

I have been using Dell PowerEdge FX for approximately 10 years.

We have not ever had a problem with the system crashing. It is highly stable.

Dell PowerEdge FX is a scalable solution. You can start off small using the solution and upgrade the memory, speed, and hard disk space over time.

The implementation of Dell PowerEdge FX is straightforward. If we have all the software and tools needed for the implementation it can be done in one hour.

The price of Dell PowerEdge FX is affordable, and when compared to other solutions, such as Lenovo and HPE it is less expensive. There are any extra costs other than the standard solution.

I would recommend this solution to others. It is highly reliable compared to the competition.

I rate Dell PowerEdge FX a nine out of ten.

I don't use PowerEdge servers, but I have installed four or five of them for clients. My clients work in various sectors, including finance, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. I have about 300 customers.

PowerEdge is stable.

PowerEdge is scalable.

I rate Dell support six out of 10. It varies. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's bad. The response time could be better.

The setup is straightforward. It can take anywhere from an hour to half a day.

The price could always be cheaper.

I rate Dell PowerEdge FX seven out of 10.
