We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We are able to do remote monitoring and installation of hardware and software, and that tends to be very popular with customers.""I've been consistently impressed by the exceptional build quality of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers.""I like the reliability and ease of swapping out failed equipment. It is very easy to replace power supplies and drives.""Nowadays, iDRAC is very important. It is one of the features that we use the most because we do not always have physical access to our machines. iDRAC is a tool that we use daily. If we did not have it, it would be very complicated to manage the machines. This is a great feature.""The iDRAC for remote access is the most useful feature because it's built into the machine. I can reboot them without having to be there physically. We do a lot of what we do remotely, and it handles that fine.""The go-to-market implementation was pretty fast.""The reconstructive compatibility with VMware ESXi is the most valuable.""The MX7000 gives us the most concentrated amount of compute in the smallest area possible."

Otherwise, I don't see any specific areas for improvement.""There are certain aspects, features, and functionality on the motherboard that need improvement.""As the disks and memory should be expandable, I would highlight scalability as an issue.""It's more from the pandemic, however, the logistics part of it could be better.""Currently, the solution does not have the in-process memory encryption technology.""There needs to be more flexibility for business options.""There is room for improvement in certain aspects of the deployment process as it is a bit complex.""Its pricing could be better."
