The system management capabilities of PowerEdge has helped increase staff productivity by 25% and helped to reduce data processing time in our organization by 10%."
"Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have been stable and reliable over the last decade."
"They are incredibly valuable because they are both user-friendly and powerful for managing hardware."
"The most valuable feature is reliability. We rarely have any issues and because of this, Dell is our go-to for servers."
"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."
"The server itself has the most stable updates. The patches and the updates will take you a long way before they release another one, so you aren't constantly doing more updates and upgrades."
"The maintenance and remote monitoring are valuable."
"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."
"Our customers are happy with many features in Oracle SPARC Servers, like the automatic ASR feature."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that Oracle Database functions very well with Oracle SPARC Servers."
"The performance is the best feature."
"The operating system is rock solid and the best I have ever used."
"I have found the LDAP facilities most valuable. In addition, I like the CPU."
"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."
"I don't know much about the new Intel CPUs, but they need to put more than two CPUs in the servers. It may be an Intel limitation, but I'm not sure."
"I would like them to be more flexible when implementing more capabilities."
"The only thing that could be improved is documentation. During the installation, it would be good to have some information about how is it going."
"The product must improve its integration with VMware."
"I would like to see a virtual view of the solution after creating and configuring it."
"I would like to change the physical rails to be more like how HPE rails are formatted and organized."
"Lately, we feel that we need an improvement in our servers. Surprisingly, we have seen some servers here that do meet these characteristics. They are slightly smaller servers."
"The T150 is a little bit bulky for what it is. I think if they created a T150 version with small form-factor drives, that would be an ideal solution. Currently, it is a tower box and it has quite a big footprint..."
"Like IBM, Oracle SPARC Servers should be able to run other open operating systems like Linux."
"They need some sort of modeling because IBM has different types of models."
"Oracle SPARC Servers should be fine-tuned well enough to work with the other servers and software products in the market, as it is an area where Oracle SPARC Servers lack."
"I would like to see a reduced price point."
"They have declared the end of life of the hardware."
"Oracle doesn't have a good roadmap for the solution because they are moving to the x86 platform."
"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."
