"Save money with just a few clicks"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Lights-Out?

Lights Out allows you to set specific times to hibernate, suspend, reboot, or shut down the servers you administer. It is ideal for keeping servers in good condition. The most important thing is that you can customize the times to your liking, using the calendar, and finally save money thanks to the lower energy consumption. I like being able to manage my servers from its mobile app. Lights Out also allows you to identify those servers that have been running the longest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lights-Out?

The application needs to be updated, since its last update was in May 2019, this is also noticeable in its design, which looks old-fashioned. You may have compatibility issues with the latest operating systems on both personal computers and servers. Anyway, I recommend using its 30-day trial period before in order to check its functionality. Despite the good performance of the application, perhaps it could offer many more functions.

Recommendations to others considering Lights-Out:

It is highly recommended solely for saving energy on the servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lights-Out solving and how is that benefiting you?

The great benefit received is in the electricity bills, but it is also possible to manage the backups of each server and monitor their activity to avoid wasting energy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
