We performed a comparison between Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers, IBM Power Systems, and Oracle SPARC Servers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo and others in Rack Servers."Virtualization and distributed power management are good and valuable features."
"The solution's stability is good...The solution's scalability is good."
"The server itself is valuable. It does what we ask it to do."
"The use of OpenManage Console reduces the time it takes to manage PowerEdge Rack Servers in terms of updates and maintenance."
"Primarily, what we value most is the stability of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the iDRAC. It helps us to solve problems when a server is stuck or hung or we don't have any network access."
"iDRAC is the most valuable feature because of the ease of use and management and everything that it provides is super useful. The security features that PowerEdge provides, including firmware threat detection is good."
"The enduring stability and longevity offered by Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers stand out as their most invaluable features."
"Power runs our resilient data systems, our high-end databases, stuff that can't go down."
"The most valuable feature of IBM Power Systems is its performance."
"Additionally, the processing power is far superior, especially with the RSA feature for reliability, serviceability, and availability."
"The solution does not require any maintenance."
"We've been using it for a long time, and it's stable."
"The availability of a solution depends on the requirement of the customer. The most valuable feature is the virtualization. You can have this one system or you can use it for many. They were using almost 120 servers within that specific service."
"IBM Power Systems are secure and have fast processing."
"IBM Power Systems provides very good performance and stability compared to other brands or processors."
"The processor is very helpful and the licensing is very flexible."
"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 performance is the best feature."
"Our customers are happy with many features in Oracle SPARC Servers, like the automatic ASR feature."
"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."
"We have experienced some challenges with iDRAC when upgrading firmware."
"System security can be improved. They can add more power and security for ESXi version 7."
"I'd like to take the complexities out of all the different tools that surround it, like OpenManage."
"The quality of support for this solution varies. Sometimes you get agents who are amazing and other times you get agents who take a long time to resolve your query."
"Their support can be better. The speed of their support is not always great because the access to the data centers is sometimes complicated, so there is back and forth."
"On the MX7000 platform, they should continue to release better and faster blades."
"There is potential for enhancement in terms of its overall upgradeability."
"I would like enhanced latitude in the machine assembly process."
"In the next release, I would like to see additional graphical dashboards to help the administrators access information more easily."
"Power Systems' price could always be lower."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"I would like to see IBM Power Systems integrate with all cloud types."
"It would be ideal if the solution was more simple to work with."
"The scalability process should be simplified."
"Better manage heterogeneous footprints of all the different operating systems that are out there across one common interface."
"The solution could improve the memory database for better integration with SAP HANA."
"Oracle doesn't have a good roadmap for the solution because they are moving to the x86 platform."
"They have declared the end of life of the hardware."
"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."
"Like IBM, Oracle SPARC Servers should be able to run other open operating systems like Linux."
"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."
