Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers Reviews

• Remote Management IDRAC
• Allows us to deploy & manage a server remotely
• It's very quiet

We have been using this server as a software license and a small file server for 10 users.

It would be nice to see an improvement in the performance.

We've used it for five years.

There were no issues with the deployment.

There have been no issues with the stability.

We haven't needed to scale it as we're only using it for 10 people.

We have not used Dell customer service.

We only used Dell support to download driver updates which is very flexible and very good.

We used other products, but Dell support offered more. We have less issues have a better understanding of the hardware design.

It was straightforward.

We did it in-house.

We are a reseller. Our customers use this solution for governing the system and for some specific applications. They are going towards the hyper-convergence infrastructure or HCI in Egypt. Our customers have on-premises and cloud deployments.

It is user friendly and easy to configure.

System security can be improved. They can add more power and security for ESXi version 7.

My company has been using the Dell PowerEdge servers for about ten years.

It is stable.

It is scalable. It can be scaled with storage, such as with EMC storage. Our plans are for three years. If a customer needs the solution, we proceed to secure a deal and plan for three years so that the customer doesn't suffer because of scalability issues. Our customers are government departments as well as private businesses.

They are good. The visibility of Dell is very strong in Egypt, especially in the north where most of the engineers are. We also have a distributor. They're very supportive and help us in training and sizing.

It is easy to set up because the Lifecycle Controller is very friendly, especially when you use the GUI for initialization. The system and the RAID controller take time, but in general, it is very easy to set up. You can check the Lifecycle.

We do it ourselves because we are a reseller, and we have a technical team to deploy it.

The server is a one-time purchase, but the support is on a subscription basis.

Dell has a new product every quarter, so its portfolio is very large. 

I would recommend this solution. I would rate Dell EMC PowerEdge Rack Servers a ten out of ten.

The convenience, because we can swap very easily swap hard drives when one goes down.

I can't think of anything right now. It's not the perfect solution but it is reasonable.

In the past it has been very stable, but not recently.

I don't have experience with its scalability.

We have used it in the past. When we had problems, we had to contact or put a ticket with them, they would get back to us, they were very reasonable.

Before we had HPE, now we use Dell. We went with Dell because the school has a contract with them.

It was straightforward.

The important criteria when selecting a vendor are, really, everything. Number one though is customer support.

I think their price is reasonable.

We are using Dell EMC PowerEdge Rack Servers for many use cases but primarily in banks and multinational companies.

Our customers do not ask for any service for the Dell EMC PowerEdge Rack Servers because they are very durable.

The solution could improve by making the warranty policy better, which is a little bit complex because our local service partner Smart Technologies has long delays. Whenever we open any case for any customer, it takes more than five days. If we could handle it by ourselves, we could have the issue solved in one day. They should work on a way to fix these delays.

I have been using Dell EMC PowerEdge Rack Servers for approximately three years.

The solution is stable.

Dell EMC PowerEdge Rack Servers are scalable.

Dell technical support has been good.

The initial setup was easy.

The price of Dell EMC PowerEdge Rack Servers is reasonable compared to other solutions.

I rate Dell EMC PowerEdge Rack Servers an eight out of ten.

The Xeon variants and large amount of RAM the server board supports is to our liking. Also the ease of which the machine can be upgraded. We had no difficulty with any hardware additions. Lastly, we enjoy the great warranty and quality of the product.

The ease of working with our suppliers and the availibility of the product.

I can't think of anything, as it is a good product.

We did not run into any problems.

We did not run into any problems.

We did not run into any problems.

It is a pricey server in comparison to its competitors, but it doesn’t lack in any of its capability. It still is great value for money and the product has great after sales support.

We chose Dell because it is a well-known brand and this was one of the buying factors for us. We find that trusted brands benefit not only our clients, but us as a reseller as well.

We use the solution for company management applications.

The active directory and file server are valuable features.

They could improve on the processor and security for the next release of the solution.

I have been using the solution for approximately five years.

We have had no issue with the scalability of this solution in my company.

The installation was simple for the IT department.

I rate Dell EMC PowerEdge Rack Servers an eight out of ten.

Reliability and manageability are valuable because since we run two separate sites, we can perform our maintenance and monitoring remotely (iDRAC), saving us travel time.

It allowed us to run more VMs than we had originally planned. We've had no failures in six years, and can perform remote management and maintenance.

This product has been superseded by newer model (R730) so any suggestions would be irrelevant. However, I am having a memory speed issue that I would like to be fixed.

I've been using it for six years, and are currently using the 2011 model..

We have had no issues with the deployment.

In the six years we have been using it, we have never had a fault/failure/malfunction hardware-wise.

Memory scalability and reduced memory speed when memory channels are fully populated. Then again, the model we have is six years old and our workloads/VMs have doubled.

We get great local support, and have always had positive experiences when speaking to Dell and using their products.

It was straightforward.

It was implemented by a systems integrator.

You should upgrade to, or get, Pro Support Plus. It is especially useful if your internal server/infrastructure team is small.
