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.""The way it integrates with other brands and its manageability are valuable. It is easy to use.""Any necessary adjustments can be made seamlessly without the need to unplug cables, as everything is contained within the rack itself.""Compared to the other vendors and generations, this one tends to be more user-friendly, so you spend less time trying to get where you want to go.""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 haven't faced any problems with the power supplies. The consumption of power is robust. We still have slots for the new hard discs for availability and upgrading RAM, but the machine itself has been working nonstop for ten years.""The initial setup is very good, not complex at all.""This solution has absolutely fulfilled our needs well."

Cons
"The data analytics for this solution could be improved.""We are leaning away from this particular product because Dell's VxRail solution makes us buy four nodes at a time which is not scalable. Other solutions such as Cisco offer more innovation on this front.""The response time could be better.""Perhaps they could make it more power efficient. They're pretty good, but there's always room for improvement. Also, they could try to reduce heat generation.""They should improve the centralized management interface. When you are going to deploy something, for example, VMware or RedHat, it should be easier to deploy a lot of servers. Now you have to do one at a time.""We have experienced some challenges with iDRAC when upgrading firmware.""The servers get slower at the end of their life cycle. The technology needs to evolve.""After purchasing the product, customers have not been getting the support that they need in the early stages of getting set up. They can provide customers a little bit more education as to what they get with certain warranty levels. The data is there if the customers dig, but a lot of times, the customers don't dig. Some of the other server models come out a little bit quicker than Dell. It would be good if Dell is quicker to market on new, larger drives when they become available. Sometimes, we do get hit on that against a couple of competitors. Dell vets them a little bit longer than like the super micros to keep their stability and quality level up, but they lose a little bit of ground to a super micro. It would be good if they can release features and models as soon and as fast as they can. It would help them to stay more competitive."
