Could the Dell web site be any slower? By JCONFREY61,  Sep 14, 2009 Mon Sep 14 17:00:13 GMT 2009

SIte is painful at best to navigate.  You know it is going to be a bad session when just getting to the Premier log on screen is over 10 seconds to show up.

It gets slower from there

site is not helping me By bsteve,  Nov 15, 2009 Sun Nov 15 11:17:42 GMT 2009

I know I am echoing other comments, and I just have to add mind.

  • Even early on a Sunday morning, the site is way slower than a well designed Microsoft .Net site should be (speaking as Microsoft .net developer). What is wrong?
  • The site is clunky, impossible to easily compare products, harder and harder to even have my own team use it to find stuff for ourselves or clients.  For example, as I'm sure you know, the checkbox selectors on the left don't work. To take one simple excample, try selecting Studio laptops and than saying Studio or Studio XPS. 
  • The familiar business oriented Latitude line is by far the worse supported. Why should it be so hard to even see the screen size on the current Latitudes? This is nuts.
  • What should be there for business users is, enter a current service tag/model number and get suggestions on an upgrade, replacement, additional units. If the idea of Premier is to support long term business customer relationships, should the site be geared to those who have Dell and want more? Put in Latitude D620 and see, this is closest match and offers these improvements, or you might also consider x or Y. (Yes, take a little bit from Amazon.)
  • Instead, there is pitiful, overlapping descriptions of products lines, as if each product line's marketing team had written separate copy and no one compared it. Five years ago, I could tell any one how to evaluate the Dell product line of the moment. Now I feel that to make a choice, I have to go on a magazine review site, compare there and then see if I can make a choice on dell.com.
  • What I fear most is that the dell site mirrors the current public image of Dell as a whole, despite the glitzy, colorful touches on new models--that Dell is slow, disconnected from its customers, only superficially keeps up, etc.
I hadn't planned on such a rant, but it's such a pleasure to be on a site that works (apparently based on salesforce), I'm reluctant to go back to the early morning business at hand.

HELP! By ICT,  Oct 8, 2009 Thu Oct 08 11:02:21 GMT 2009

Hello - I would imagine that you've got to be operating at 70+% of your resources ... Accessing your site is always a challange. Have you considered upgrading your hardware to greater capacity? The consistency with your Premier page is discouraging at best. I cannot even place an order using a quote received from the sales rep; at times I can see the option for it when I access the page. However at other times, there is no option for entering a quote number.  At the risk of over-dramatizing the matter ... it really is incredible. Another extremely frustrating point is the lack of forewarning of system/page maintenance. - Help.

Purchasing Website??? By kimscj,  Nov 4, 2009 Wed Nov 04 18:51:54 GMT 2009

This has always been the worst purchasing website I have ever used.  Slow, difficult to navigate, the list is endless, I don't even know where to start.  I've been using this site for about 2 years now and everytime I log in, it's worse.  Maybe you should hire someone who knows how to create a purchasing site instead of someone who makes it look 'pretty'.  Even getting here to add my comments was difficult.  The entire set up of the 'Idea' forum is wrong to add insult to injury.

SLOW SLOW SLOW! By BriteWhite,  Nov 4, 2009 Wed Nov 04 13:58:19 GMT 2009

 

Dell - Your web site is so slow, it often takes me 20 minutes to order something.  You are a computer hardware manufacturer.  Are your servers so slow that they can't even support your own business?  What does it look like to my customers when I have them log on to your site to look at a PC, and it is so slow?  They often complain to me.  Recently a customer had to just stop trying and wait until the next day to configure a PC.  I was very embarrassed.  I will not put up with this, and will start using other manufacturers who don’t waste my time with a frustratingly slow web site.

Premier Login By kjulson,  Jul 14, 2009 Tue Jul 14 15:05:44 GMT 2009

Here is a very simple improvement but one that annoys me everytime I login to the Premire Site. When you click on login put the focus on the password field so I do not have to click on it. Like I said real simple.

Extend the Timeout Period By kenm,  Aug 27, 2009 Thu Aug 27 15:03:31 GMT 2009

We are logged out after just a few minutes requiring numerous logins to Premier.  We were told the timeout period is 60 minutes, however its closer to 10 minutes.  Please extend this time to 60 minutes.

successful connections By mjm,  Apr 24, 2009 Fri Apr 24 13:29:57 GMT 2009

Is it possible during regular business hours (EST) to successfully access the Dell Premier Site and all its contents -- especially invoice and product pages?  Currently, whether Explorer or Firefox are used, and no matter the time of day (again business hours, not 2:00 am.) one is lucky if a connection is established and maintained 25% of the times attempted.  Ironic that Dell builds and sells servers and yet its own site is so quirky and unreliable.  Invoices are particularly difficult to access.  Also, must so many hoops be required to login to the Premier Site, and must the time-out be so rapid?   It's a pain getting into and staying in the Dell catalog.  CDWG's website would be a good example of where the Dell website needs to go.  It rarely crashes, has peppy response time, and no time-out once logged in for the day.

Finding account information By debs,  Aug 5, 2009 Wed Aug 05 19:39:04 GMT 2009

Trying to find information on the home page is ridiculous.  sometimes when I log in, I go right to my home page, which I have customized.  Other times it goes to the dell premier page and I can't gt to my home page.  the site is not consistent.  Trying to find order status, receive invoices etc... is only by blind luck that I stumble on iinformation.   Look at CDWG and see how easy it is to navigate.  When you log in, the pages are consistent, information is easy to find etc...  

Sometimes I have quicklinks at the top and sometimes it is gone...  There is no consistency to the pages or the log in.  I have to go back out, go through the standard dell.com and pray for the best.

Make paying on account easier By zzzzo,  Oct 6, 2009 Tue Oct 06 22:40:22 GMT 2009

I have been trying to figure out where to pay on account. wasting a lot of time even on the phone with Dell employees who cannot answer the question! I small business like ours is super efficient just to keep the doors open on a daily basis. this website is much slower to get the job done than your competition.

Take a look at what other businesses do. The faster the checkout process the more money everyone makes. As few screens as possible and fewer clicks. I love the sites that remember as much as possible for me and make it easy and super fast.

I do like the Workspace that can be customized. Just found that today. That will help. It will be my Home Page from now on.

Secure sign on? By MLAglobal,  Aug 4, 2009 Tue Aug 04 23:49:53 GMT 2009

My sysadmin wants to know why Dell site does not use secure logins.  I also signed up on this site using http which sent my info before starting a secure session.

A few months ago my admin showed me my Dell passward from a packet sniff session.  I assume it is now secure login regardless of HTTPS?
