PowerEdge C Reviews

We use PowerEdge as a backup server for mission-critical hardware failures, such as processor and memory issues.

PowerEdge servers have high CPU processing power, and the support is also good.

I have used PowerEdge servers for about six or seven years.

PowerEdge C servers are stable.

I rate PowerEdge C eight out of 10 for scalability.

Setting up PowerEdge C servers is straightforward compared to other servers. The setup time depends on the technician and our data center guy, but they can typically do it in a day. 

I rate PowerEdge C servers nine out of 10 for affordability. There are no additional costs, but you can purchase an extended five-year warranty. 

I rate PowerEdge C servers 10 out of 10. It's reliable and inexpensive hardware you can use for any situation, application, or data workload.

We use the solution with VMware. We also use it with independent servers. Our servers run on it.

The product life is good compared to any other product. The performance depends on the configuration we buy. Every new version is better than the previous one.

The price must be improved.

I have been using the solution for ten years.

The product is stable.

The product is scalable. We have 150 users in our organization.

The support is fine.

The setup is very easy. It is not very complicated. We must set up RAID. We just buy the tool, configure it, and use it. The number of people we need for deployment and maintenance depends on each project.

If we have complex projects, we take help from third-party consultants. Otherwise, we do it ourselves.

The product is not very expensive, but it could be made more economical. It is a one-time purchase.

I will recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a seven or eight out of ten.

We use PowerEdge C for microcredit service, application servers, database servers, and report servers.

PowerEdge's iDRAC feature is the most valuable feature.

An area where the product lacks and needs to consider improvement is by allowing it to integrate with some AI tool for monitoring.

In the future, I would like AI integration and iDRAC to improve.

I have experience with the PowerEdge C for a year or two. My company is involved in system integration. We also sell different servers and PowerEdge C. My customers use PowerEdge R740, PowerEdge R7450, and PowerEdge R760. My company has a partnership with Dell.

It is a stable solution.

Technical support is good since they support us 24/7. I rate the technical support an eight to nine out of ten.

Positive

I haven't used any solutions previously since I was in network and security for a couple of years.

The initial setup is not complex. It's a user-friendly tool. It will only take three to four hours to implement it. An installer and a solution engineer are required to implement the solution.

For my deployment services, deploy it on-site with the MOP approved by the customer.

PowerEdge C is a reasonably priced product, and the pricing depends on how many years you need the product. The cost also includes the support.

I recommend the solution for small to enterprise-sized clients.

It is easy to integrate with other products in general. Even the solution's interface is intuitive.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

I use the PowerEdge C server for the VOIP phone systems, and some other applications to save time.

PowerEdge C is compatible and a good solution for me.

I like the feature that allows for a backup and that is suitable for me.

The current memory could be improved.

I have been working with PowerEdge C for the past three years.

The stability is very good for PowerEdge C.

There are no current issues with scalability and we have four hundred individuals in the company. All of them are currently using PowerEdge C. We are going to increase usage in the next two years and expand.

I used IBM before switching to PowerEdge C. The price point is exactly what I needed and the product is good so I switched.

The installation was straightforward and easy to setup.

I installed it myself in fifteen minutes for the server and the container server.

We definitely are seeing a return on investment and we are making money.

When we talk about pricing it is the cheapest on the market that I have found.

I would encourage individuals who are looking for a simple and easily maintained solution to choose PowerEdge C. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate PowerEdge C a ten.

We primarily use the solution for supporting our internal applications.

So far, the product has made us more efficient in terms of energy usage and space usage utilization.

It does basically everything that we need it to do.

The compactness of the solution is its most valuable aspect.

We found the initial setup to be straightforward. 

The solution is stable. We haven't had any issues. 

It is possible to scale the solution.

Technical support has been helpful. 

The reliability needs improvement. We have had some issues.

The issue is that Dell's no longer selling this product in the near future. It's almost the end of life.

We've been using the solution since 2018.

The stability has been good. We haven't dealt with any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

While it is scalable, we haven't had the need to do so just yet.

We're a construction company and we have about 60 users at this time. That includes project managers. 

Right now, it's probably running at 60% capacity. We're not going to increase usage.

Technical support has been good. We are satisfied with the level of service on offer. 

We're currently looking at refreshing the hardware.

We had Dell rack-mount servers previously. We switched for space utilization.

EMC is our storage. That's not the Blades. The storage is the Unity box that we have.

The initial setup is straightforward and not overly difficult. It's a simple process.

The deployment is fast. It took us over a weekend. 

We had two personnel that handled deployment and maintenance. 

We handled the implementation process ourselves. We did not need any integrators or consultants.

In terms of ROI, it's performed and done what we expected for the price that we paid.

We pay a yearly licensing fee. It's comparable to others on the market.

There are not any other additional costs other than the licensing fee.

We did evaluate other options. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We're pretty happy with its capabilities. 

We use PowerEdge C for applications and databases. It's primarily for high-performance computing tasks. We do not use it for scoring and the company's high performance anymore.

The most significant benefits, in my experience, are the configuration, reliability of the equipment, and the support of Dell. We had a migration of some applications and needed to change the architecture from Spark to x86. We were concerned about the application's stability after the migration, but PowerEdge C delivered stability and availability for our applications. The migration was very transparent, and the automation was seamless.

For improvements, the iDRAC application isn't very intuitive to handle. We have it deployed on-premises.

I have experience with PowerEdge C.

A very stable solution. 

PowerEdge C's scalability depends on how we use it. We use it in bare metal, not virtualization, which limits its scalability.

The support team is excellent. 

Positive

Regarding the initial setup, configuring Dell PowerEdge C and setting it up initially takes about five hours, including working on initial configurations and remote access. We haven't faced any challenges with deployment and don't have a specific strategy for it. General maintenance isn't complex, and it doesn't require a lot of resources. We have systems in place in our data center to reduce maintenance needs. Sometimes, we face common issues like disk or memory failures, which are manageable.

I don't handle the financial aspects, so I don't know the exact costs, but in terms of the value it brings, it's worth it.

The benefits are significant, so we prefer PowerEdge C over other equipment. It might have a higher cost, but it effectively meets our specifications and application needs. The support from the branch and the availability andstability of the hardware makes it very easy to configure, change, and manage. We're delighted with it. Overall, I would give PowerEdge C a ten.
