"Its performance and the local support of Lenovo in my city are the most valuable features. Its performance is the best, and its user interface is also very easy.""Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers are scalable.""I like everything about this solution. It is a very good server, with excellent availability. The size of the power is adequate and the low heating is beneficial.""It has good integration. You have VMware for connecting many machines, and you can support microservices. You can also easily connect the networks. It is also very easy to use and implement, and it comes with good support.""It's very power-efficient and allows you to access the rack server directly without accessing the operating system on that server.""Easy integration with UPS systems provides added convenience and efficiency for our operations.""The product scales well.""It is a scalable product."

Cons
"It was complex to get this started because the Lenovo and VMware are not very compatible. We had to get some updates in order for it to be implemented.""HP has a riser inside, but Lenovo does not have a riser. It would be good to have a riser with Lenovo. The GUI of the system is really bad. HP has a very good UI for smart memories and everything inside, but in Lenovo, we have a black-and-white UI. HP right now manufactures a server with scalable SP1 and SP2 on a single machine, which is not the case with Lenovo. They are changing the machine. For SP 1, there is one server, and for SP2, there is another server, which is really bad. In HP, we can use two models of processors in a single case. Lenovo should also be improved to have SP1 and SP2 scalable processors simultaneously on a single machine. They should not release another machine. This issue is also there in H3650 severs. They are all inside, but only V3 CPU or only v4 CPU can work, whereas, in HBG9, we can deploy V3 and V4 simultaneously. Lenovo also needs to advertise more because I can't see advertisements anywhere.""Improvements could be made in the network cards, particularly by offering options for higher-speed cards beyond the current 10 GB.""There are other solutions that are less expensive.""Lenovo ThinkSystem Rack Servers availability could improve. We have been waiting two months for one server.""It is quite an expensive product. Its price can be improved.""The RAID Management and the RAID Configuration tools need to be improved.""To be frank, the technical support from Lenovo's team needs improvement. There seems to be a lack of support, and it is important for Lenovo to address this issue."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "As the costs got high, we had to use the virtualization feature to consolidate the server farm.​"
  • "It is the cheapest solution we have seen on the market."
  • "Your budget determines the scalability."
  • "The licensing cost is the same as HP. It doesn't have any additional cost. However, the price, for example, for the memory option, does not match other vendors such as HP or Dell. They should work on the pricing of Lenovo. It is a great competitor, and it should compete with the price."
  • "It is too expensive. Because we are a university and we have to look for our money, many times we buy some refurbished machines or equipment at reasonable prices from IBM or Lenovo. We are a little bit limited in terms of money, and we buy as much as we can. If they were cheaper, we would buy more."
  • "It costs around $8,000. There is an additional cost for the support for a year."
  • "Its pricing is very competitive."
  • "The price of the solution is very expensive when compared to other solution like HP or Dell."
