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

"We have had the generator fail and the automatic transfer switch fail, but the UPS carried us over."
"You can also program a report at the frequency you choose — I chose a monthly frequency — and get a report from each unit describing the average performance throughout that time period. That's very critical because we can use that as a maintenance tool to monitor the health of the unit."
"Eaton's technical support has been great; they're top-notch."
"Event Viewer saves me a lot of time when getting everything ready for our fire insurance rating inspection, once every seven to eight years."
"The service has earned its place in our life, a millions of times over."
"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 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."
"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 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 issue I've ever had with it was when we did the initial setup."
"We get the alerts almost instantaneously, but it doesn't give you as much information as the system notice."
"We did have an issue getting it initially connected from our system through their particular email address."
"They have redone the monthly report to make them easier to read through."
"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."
"We did have an issue getting it initially connected from our system through their particular email address. It was hard because we have a security parameter. It took two or three technicians to figure out that we had to remove the monitoring in our email addresses due to firewalls. We were blocking them and they were blocking us because the message would not always translate after it was encrypted leaving from us. We had to do a bit of work in our security email system to make our UPS system and PredictPulse part talk to their collection agent. I don't know why it happened. At one point, we could see them but they weren't picking up the pulses that were required to send back to us. This took work to resolve and could be streamlined."
"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."
"I don't have problems with Eaton products, except that they're proprietary."
"This is the area that will be a let down for most of the bigger organizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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