There are free tools available to harden the system.""Power Systems' best features include its user-friendliness and self-checking/self-healing abilities.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""The technical support that clients get from IBM is excellent.""The virtualization and the quality you get from it is one reason we like the solution.""The initial setup is simple and straightforward.""We've been using it for a long time, and it's stable."

Cons
"In the next release, I'd like to see more features not in the hardware but in the platform where I can manage all the servers and the hardware of the servers."

More Huawei FusionServer RH Series Rack Servers Cons →

"In the next release, I would like to see additional graphical dashboards to help the administrators access information more easily.""There are improvements that can be made on the technical side.""The solution is highly-priced.""IBM should provide a platform where users can learn about the storage and security of IBM Power Systems.""The price has room for improvement.""Its price can be improved. It is too high.""Its management can be made easier because it is not easy to manage. They should also find a new way for migrating from an old Power Systems to a new one. The migration process is currently very complicated. It should be made easier to scale. Currently, its scalability depends on the initial sizing, whereas in Nutanix HCI, you can add whatever you need and whenever you need it.""Price and complexity related to the management of the solution are areas of concern in the solution where improvements are required."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "Why should I be charged for that use rather than a single CPU, a single socket?"
  • "The cost model is great. There is so much built in to the technology, that if you know how to use it you can save yourself a lot of money."
  • "It is designed for a large workload, as opposed to a small workload. For our circumstances, and even as an independent, I can't buy a Power system to experiment on. It can't happen. You cannot buy them."
  • "The pricing is reasonable."
  • "Its price is too high."
  • "Its price depends on the sizing."
  • "The pricing of the solution is very good because we can beat any other competitor with the pricing. Lately, they have offered good pricing for their customer."
  • "The price of the solution could be somewhat better and this is what lowers my rating of it to a seven or eight out of ten."
