We performed a comparison between Dell PowerEdge FX and Dell PowerEdge Rack Servers based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rack Servers solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is a scalable solution. My company hasn't faced any difficulties related to the product's performance and scalability since Dell ensures to provide a high-performance service."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerEdge FX is you can customize the solution to your specifications, such as speed. Additionally, part orders are shipped and received quickly when a part needs to be replaced."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it has very robust servers and a very heavy load. We've been working on servers now for 10 years and those servers are still up and running. Those servers are still very powerful until today."
"The best feature is PowerEdge's ability to stack up eight blade servers in one 2U chassis."
"The remote management is great."
"The most valuable feature is its stability."
"The setup is straightforward. It can take anywhere from an hour to half a day."
"The product seamlessly integrates with the storage portfolio."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
"No down time and it's very user friendly."
"This product has really saved us a lot of headaches when it comes to hardware replacements. It's something it seems that Dell has improved. You quickly log your support case and get support. The turnaround time is really fast."
"The initial setup is so easy."
"It's a very user-friendly solution."
"The server itself has the most stable updates. The patches and the updates will take you a long way before they release another one, so you aren't constantly doing more updates and upgrades."
"The solution is very strong and reliable."
"Managing it is straightforward, and the scalability aligns well with the needs of our organization."
"In terms of the cost, it is a little bit high, meaning, there is some difference in the cost compared to the equivalent product with HP servers."
"When it comes to Dell PowerEdge FX, the area of concern revolves around the delivery time where improvements are required."
"It should have more simplified management. It is a common problem where vendors think that they have simplified a solution, but the users don't look at it in the same way. A vendor thinks that there are only ten steps for a task, but we consider them as many steps. It should also have more support for NVMe. For high performance and speed, there should also be more network cards for the fiber channel and ethernet."
"The product must provide more integration."
"Before the cloud solution and virtualization, we relied on Dell hardware from specific vendors. The lifecycle for cloud infrastructure is shorter than it used to be. We need a longer lifecycle from the IT supplier providing the computing solution."
"I don't have any technical issues, but I would like to see the commercial side improve as compared to all other OEMs."
"I rate Dell support six out of 10. It varies. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's bad. The response time could be better."
"I think that Dell has full documentation on their products, but it needs to be improved for this one."
"The server itself is good, but sometimes, the salesperson forgets to sell us the right controller. It is related to sales. It is not related to the technical part."
"As the disks and memory should be expandable, I would highlight scalability as an issue."
"Their support can be better. Getting to the right person for support is a challenge."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"They can consider making them smaller in physical size but retain the same quality and the same security."
"After purchasing the product, customers have not been getting the support that they need in the early stages of getting set up. They can provide customers a little bit more education as to what they get with certain warranty levels. The data is there if the customers dig, but a lot of times, the customers don't dig. Some of the other server models come out a little bit quicker than Dell. It would be good if Dell is quicker to market on new, larger drives when they become available. Sometimes, we do get hit on that against a couple of competitors. Dell vets them a little bit longer than like the super micros to keep their stability and quality level up, but they lose a little bit of ground to a super micro. It would be good if they can release features and models as soon and as fast as they can. It would help them to stay more competitive."
"There are issues, of course, but not major issues. On a scale of one to 10, the stability is a nine."
"The product must provide more options to add GPUs to the machines."
