We performed a comparison between HPE Superdome X and PowerEdge C based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Dell Technologies and others in Blade Servers."One of the really cool things about Superdome is, depending on the model you choose, you can put 8-16 blades in it."
"Superdome X is a system that can compete in terms of performance and uptime, but it's now standard. That is the great value. There are competitors like IBM, for example, but IBM has a propietary operating system. With Superdome X, you have a system that can run Windows, Red Hat, or VMware, but in a mission critical server."
"This product is very reliable."
"We've got a few of them, because we needed some really large machines. So far, they've been working pretty good."
"I like the robustness of the machine. Similar performance could likely be achieved with other configurations, but this machine is very stable."
"SDX gave us a very large RAM and we need that for the large-scale graph-handling applications."
"The most valuable features of HPE Superdome X are speed, performance, and resilience."
"One of the main features that attract customers to buy their products is the great management tool and almost zero failure rate, making it easy to use."
"The security of the product is very good."
"I like the feature that allows for a backup and that is suitable for me."
"With the tool, we can easily upgrade and ensure compatibility between operating systems, hardwares and drivers. Among other features, the hardware also stands out because it is certified and aligns with the processor manufacturers like Intel. This enables them to offer the latest options which are not available with other suppliers."
"The initial setup is not complex. It's a user-friendly tool."
"PowerEdge servers have high CPU processing power, and the support is also good."
"The management platform is great."
"The solution provides good support and service."
"It would be helpful if you could do the maintenance completely online."
"In this specific model, it could be beneficial to have a server configuration similar to Cisco, like the kind offered in HPE Superdome Flex X280. The ability to separate the chassis is important because we are forced to use two chassis even with lower loads. So introducing more flexibility in the Superdome environment would be helpful."
"I know we support Windows and I think it's Red Hat, and I'd like to see more OSs supported."
"What would make it better from my point of view is if HPE spent more time on testing with the actual built-in Red Hat Linux drivers, as opposed to always trying to say, "Use our driver.""
"I'd like to see the onboarding of some storage class memory to really expand the already very large RAM, into something that could be even much bigger."
"HPE Superdome X can improve by adding a lot of cloud capabilities to allow this solution to be cloud-ready in case the customer wants to move it to the cloud."
"There is some trouble with the stability part of the product, making it an area where improvements are required."
"There has been an increase in quality issues."
"The product’s pricing could be a little cheaper."
"The reliability needs improvement."
"The VxRail should be opened to allow other virtualization platforms to be used."
"There could be some more ports added in the future."
"It should be improved in terms of future expansion. We should be able to have additional free slots for future extensions in terms of memory."
"An area where the product lacks and needs to consider improvement is by allowing it to integrate with some AI tool for monitoring."
