The information it provides is very in-depth, helps me during weekly inspections, and notifies me of any trouble or any predictions
I would like to see more voltage and current values. Input voltage has a phase to phase option and then there is a phase to neutral option for each phase and there are three phases. So it would be nice to see an average of each of those instead of just a voltage for each individual phase. If there was an average of those three, then that would be less math for me. I'm sure as I use it more, I'll be able to come up with things that need improvement, but as of now, I'm pretty happy with the way it performs and how easy it is to navigate around the PredictPulse application online and on the cell phone.

A Software Solution synchronizing information and activities to other systems that depend on accurate physical infrastructure information
Nylte is quite intricate to use. Training someone to navigate the platform would likely require a substantial investment, ranging from one to two months for basic proficiency, followed by an additional two to three months of consistent use to gain full proficiency. Despite its complexity, I believe there is room for simplification, making it more user-friendly. While there have been improvements, there is potential for further enhancements in this area.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Event Viewer saves me a lot of time when getting everything ready for our fire insurance rating inspection, once every seven to eight years."
"PredictPulse tells me stuff like, "Hey, this room's too hot," that's going to kill my UPS. That's going to shut this thing down. It might prevent a power outage. Right there, that one's not quite as critical, but you're talking, if they go down, tens of thousands at a minimum of loss. So, it pays for itself by having the ability to know without having to walk out there all the time and look at it, because people will get busy, then they won't do their rounds and stuff getting missed. With PredictPulse, it doesn't get missed."
"PredictPulse has been pretty stable. Our older UPS was approaching the end of life. Eaton came by and upgraded all the hardware, so we could install the latest interface and use PredictPulse on it. We didn't even have to ask."
"The service has definitely quickly deployed field technicians. At one of our sites, the temperature in the room was rising. Because we received a notification, we were able to get an engineer dispatched to the site to the HVAC problem. Had we not done that, we might have ended up with a UPS failure."
"Many of its features are valuable, but the ability to be notified in real-time is the most valuable aspect. I can be at home, it could be the middle of the night. We have it set up so that it sends emails to people if it engaged."
"It gives us the opportunity to know if we have an issue with a UPS and then it invokes the automated service ticketing system. So we don't really have to do anything."
"The most valuable feature is being able to run reports on it. We get a monthly report on outages and usage and we can see how often we've had downtime, if we've had downtime."
"The most valuable feature is the instant notification, remotely via email, of any change in the status of the UPS, which is important. The UPS's provide critical control functions, such as emergency lighting and operation of emergency communications for passengers, and operation of critical radio systems which are needed for communication between Metro and the local Sheriff department."
More Eaton PredictPulse pros
"The power management aspect of nlyte provides a comprehensive overview of power consumption and forecasting capabilities. It allows for strategic planning, such as assessing the impact of adding new racks with specific power requirements. This feature facilitates considerations not only for power consumption but also for thermal aspects, including airflow dynamics between hot and cold aisles. In essence, the most advantageous feature of nlyte sfor us lies in its power management capabilities."
 

Cons

"The only thing I can think of is the remote monitoring. When it's communicating something, if there's an event or there's an issue, the dashboard and how it's presented could be improved. I know what it's communicating, but if we had someone at a different level monitoring it, they might not understand if it's a critical item. The remote monitoring dashboard could be simplified."
"We get the alerts almost instantaneously, but it doesn't give you as much information as the system notice. And I don't know what the alert means. It's not really indicative of the problem because it's non-descriptive to us. Is there a problem, or is it only a standard utility blip for something?"
"I don't have problems with Eaton products, except that they're proprietary."
"It's been working very well. The only issue I've ever had with it was when we did the initial setup. We had issues getting it to bypass through the firewall. Their support staff were very helpful and we were able to get that taken care of pretty quickly, within a day or two."
"I would like to see more voltage and current values. Input voltage has a phase to phase option and then there is a phase to neutral option for each phase and there are three phases. So it would be nice to see an average of each of those instead of just a voltage for each individual phase. If there was an average of those three, then that would be less math for me."
"Right now, the problem with our emails is we do not have a way to separate emails to Eaton versus us. So, we get a lot of alerts that we might not get, which are almost considered spam. It would be nice if we could segregate them: This group of people gets these emails and this other group of people gets these emails. As of now, it's a shotgun approach where we get so many. It's like, "Oh God, another one," as opposed to being able to filter out exactly what we do want, since we don't want to miss any."
"I don't know if the way they do the emails, daily, is the best way. It seems like they could come up with a better solution for communication. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but it just seems like it's a little outdated... Maybe they could provide a more secure messaging system."
"They have redone the monthly report to make them easier to read through."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In order to give us the latest, greatest version of PredictPulse, Eaton had to give us new cards on our UPS systems. Eaton provided the cards and had our technician install them at no cost to us."
"We have bought all of the features of PredictPulse because each of them serves a different purpose for us."
"It is saving our organization around $10,000 a month."
"We pay $4,000 for the Eaton 93PM UPS, which includes PredictPulse. It is a reasonable price."
"Eaton was only one who offered to let us try it out for free. Right now, we are not paying anything for it, so the return on investment is great."
"It's part of our service contracts, so it's not broken down as a separate line item."
"We currently hold a perpetual license, and our expenditure is limited to support costs. While I recall that the new license model follows a subscription-based SaaS approach, I don't have the precise cost details as we are not actively using it at the moment."
