Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers Reviews

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.

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.

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This product has been superseded by newer model (R730) so any suggestions would be irrelevant.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.

We use Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers for branch office installations, acting as a standalone server. We primarily utilize it for virtualization.

There is nothing special, but Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have a strong presence in Qatar, which influences our choice. We use it for virtualization, and for our use case, it works fine without issues.

We haven't upgraded anything yet. We are simply utilizing even the older models, as they are still working for us. Dell's pricing for hardware is fine, but the software installed on the servers is a cost driver, not the server itself. Regarding additional functions, upgrading storage speed with an SSD drive and increasing memory capacity is needed for improved performance.

I have been working with Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers for five years.

I would rate the stability of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers at ten. I have no issues with their stability.

The scalability of Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers is excellent. I would rate it at ten.

The technical support from Dell is highly dependent on the service level agreement (SLA). With a higher level of support, such as pro-support, the service is exceptional. I would rate it at nine.

Previously, we were working with SolarWinds Security Event Manager. However, we switched to Google Graylog, an open-source solution.

The initial setup process was very straightforward and simple. Once delivered, we could spin it up within an hour.

Sometimes, integration is part of the project. Local partners, who provide installation and commissioning services, are involved in the process.

Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers have reasonable pricing, which I would rate at eight. Other brands might be cheaper, but Dell's pricing is acceptable for us. However, the software associated with servers, like VMware subscription licenses, drives costs.

I haven't worked with other servers, but I am aware of other brands like HP and IBM.

I do not have any specific suggestions for improvements or changes. Overall, Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers meet our requirements, and I have no issues with the hardware. I would rate the overall solution at ten.
