We performed a comparison between Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers and Oracle SPARC Servers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rack Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspects include hot swapping and the elasticity as far as being able to scale."
"The initial setup is very good, not complex at all."
"The centralized management console is something that is very valuable to us because we use a fairly high number of servers."
"We like the iDRAC card which gives us remote access to the server out of band. That's fantastic because if a box is misbehaving, I'm able to get into the bare metal and repair the operating system without needing to go out to the branch office, which could be anywhere in the UK."
"The DRA cards for server management is the most valuable feature. They provide a clear overview of server settings and issues. We also like that the notifications are well-organized."
"When it comes to handling the evolving needs of high-performance workloads, the PowerEdge Rack Servers are fit for purpose. They do what they need to do."
"The solutions accelerated GPUs helped to support demanding workloads and to reduce data processing time in our organization."
"You are provided with excellent instructions."
"The operating system is rock solid and the best I have ever used."
"The processor is very helpful and the licensing is very flexible."
"The Oracle server is very powerful. They are more powerful and durable compared to Intel hardware. Which has been a benefit to our organization."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that Oracle Database functions very well with Oracle SPARC Servers."
"Our customers are happy with many features in Oracle SPARC Servers, like the automatic ASR feature."
"I have found the LDAP facilities most valuable. In addition, I like the CPU."
"The performance is the best feature."
"There are issues, of course, but not major issues. On a scale of one to 10, the stability is a nine."
"The solution could still use some more analytics."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"Unfortunately, PowerEdge Rack Servers do not support NVMe storage."
"Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers could improve the bezels in front of it."
"I would like more resilience because, for all companies, cybersecurity is important."
"The specs for the benchmarks are very good, but the firmware and software are lacking. There are some issues with the Linux kernel and the long-term support (LTS) for some of the firmware's dependencies. It is causing the kernel to dump. The support for the Linux brands isn't optimal. We would like them to optimize the kernel drivers for benchmarks."
"Its price could be better."
"Oracle doesn't have a good roadmap for the solution because they are moving to the x86 platform."
"Like IBM, Oracle SPARC Servers should be able to run other open operating systems like Linux."

"They have declared the end of life of the hardware."
"I would like to see a reduced price point."
"They need some sort of modeling because IBM has different types of models."
"The solution could improve by giving a clear roadmap about the future. I'm not seeing a lot of improvements on the OS side of the software. They need to work more on the operating system."
