Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo and others in Rack Servers."This solution has absolutely fulfilled our needs well."
"This product has really saved us a lot of headaches when it comes to hardware replacements. It's something it seems that Dell has improved. You quickly log your support case and get support. The turnaround time is really fast."
"We can pull out elements and change them ourselves."
"You can use Dell PowerEdge hardware for anything. It supports everything such as file servers, web servers, and DB servers. It can support all critical servers and applications. There are bank applications running on PowerEdge servers."
"I've been consistently impressed by the exceptional build quality of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers."
"PowerEdge Rack Servers offer good performance in handling the evolving needs of high-performance workloads and offer good value for money."
"They provide good support for part replacement, and when they cannot because the part is unavailable, they are pretty good at informing us and letting us know, but generally, these servers just sit in the data center and have been working 24/7 for years without any problems."
"They are very stable. They are rock solid. I am happy with them."
"The scalability of the Dell XR2 Rugged Server is good and easy to do."
"The storage and the disc performance in terms of IOPS is great."
"The scalability could improve. If you want more scalability and high availability, you will have to change to a solution similar to VxRail."
"One of the things that I've noticed is that over time, the system degrades, meaning that little things don't work. For example, the hard drive would need to be replaced or iDRAC would not be functioning properly. We may have to flash the firmware. It is not like some other hardware where it just runs without issues for four or five years. With Dell, generally, there are little hiccups here and there."
"Dell can optimize the size of its rack servers, offering a minimized physical footprint without compromising performance or security."
"It needs improvements in the thermal design and the management of servers."
"There might be room for improvement, especially in the software aspect, such as firmware updates."
"The security of this solution could be improved. We have very specific needs as an engineering company and require multiple layers of security. This is not offered when implementing the Dell hardware."
"It is hard to make a comparison without any technical factsheets for the other servers to compare with but like everyone else, it is about the pricing."
"As the disks and memory should be expandable, I would highlight scalability as an issue."
"Dell XR2 Rugged Server could improve if there was more customization allowed."
"It lacks a modular option to expand to a 16-bay system."
