MR
Senior System Engineer at Omgea Exim Ltd
Provides real-time monitoring and exceptional technical support
As a reseller, I think HP iLO can be improved in a few ways. HP has a lot of experience with iLO, but they need to work on synchronization between iLO and the system hardware. Sometimes when the system fails, iLO doesn't get the proper information from the system, so there's a need for improvement so it can provide real-time information for our engineers to give the correct solutions to customers. The only room for improvement I see is synchronization with the current hardware and socket because sometimes hardware fails, but the information is delayed on iLO. There are points of view where iLO logs and some logs are missing from the system, which prevents our engineers from finding the correct solution. We need to inform HP to improve their hardware part for better synchronization to ensure all the necessary information fills up properly in the logs.

Struggled with complex licensing and limited support but have gained unified cloud monitoring
We face certain challenges with monitoring website uptime for our business operations because we don't have that 24/7 monitoring, so that's what we are working with ManageEngine on, regarding how effectively we can use that. I may not be able to give that information on how ManageEngine Site24x7 can be improved, but I felt that the monitoring or the licensing terms, such as the advanced monitors or monitors, are not very user-friendly. I feel that because I don't know how exactly we can check what devices use which license and how we can control those things; that's not user-friendly. For example, if I have to look at what all devices are utilizing my advanced monitor license or what all devices are using my basic monitor license, then if I want to pull a report or validate them, I don't have an easy option; it's too complicated.

"The product is not difficult to use. That said, it is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."
