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.

Event management, Dynamic plugin and Reporting need to be improved.

Event management, Dynamic plugin and Reporting need to be improved. The software features and monitoring are not as expected, especially the Dynamic plug-in and Trap processing. There are many basics and important features which are lacking such as event alarms for temperature and hot spot. This software is build around its own Raritan hardware, therefore to use for non-Raritan hardware could be a challenge and tricky at times.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"I use the feature which alerts me to power outages, whether it is going on and off the battery. E.g., this feature came in handy last weekend when the Department of Water and Power took the power down. They said that it was for 12 hours, but it ended up being 14 hours. I could manage the readings on the batteries, ensure they weren't draining, and everything was okay. They made it through the whole outage."

"The service has earned its place in our life, a millions of times over."

"It saves us time and it saves us money."

"Eaton's technical support has been great; they're top-notch."

"PredictPulse has saved us money by the CT unit being up and accessible for ER and for med/surge."

"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."

"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."

More Eaton PredictPulse pros

"The layout of the Data Centers structure and navigator has helped and improved the way we monitor and address the power and cooling issues as well as the power consumption and capacity planning."

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."

"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."

"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."

"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 don't have problems with Eaton products, except that they're proprietary."

"I like visibility the service provides into our UPS equipment through its reporting, but it could be better."

"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."

"The only issue I've ever had with it was when we did the initial setup."

More Eaton PredictPulse cons

"This is the area that will be a let down for most of the bigger organizations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"We pay $4,000 for the Eaton 93PM UPS, which includes PredictPulse. It is a reasonable price."

"We have bought all of the features of PredictPulse because each of them serves a different purpose for us."

"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."

"It's part of our service contracts, so it's not broken down as a separate line item."

"It is saving our organization around $10,000 a month."
