I never leveraged the automation tools in HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) as I never felt the need to. I don't have details on the pros and cons of HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) versus Dell's iDRAC solution currently. In Virtual Media access features of HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO), specifics are not known as it was outside the department focus. HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) setups are relatively straightforward, usually with vendor assistance. I am currently avoiding HPE in my current build because of the pricing that is almost highway robbery. Service contracts are required to receive firmware updates. It's intense compared to Dell, Cisco, Microsoft, or Lenovo. On a scale of 1-10, I rate HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) a 9.
The integration of scripting capability and industry standard protocols have not significantly helped to adopt my IT environments because many environments do not show interest in encrypting systems or integration. They are only focused on their production systems, such as using HP servers for productivity, so there is no concern about integration. Based on my current experience, I haven't received any recommendations or observations from our customers to improve integration across multiple servers, such as using HP along with Dell. HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) is affordable; it is actually one of the most affordable solutions in Bangladesh as well. HP is better than its competitors in the market because HP is more powerful than other tools such as Dell or Huawei, but they do have one weakness. They do not always provide the correct products or replacements, so HP should focus on working with proper parts. It is also stable. My overall rating for HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) is 10 out of 10.
