Schneider Electric-APC Smart-UPS VT was previously known as Smart-UPS VT.
It is one of the power protection solutions provided by the company. We use the solution to protect the IT infrastructure of the banking, hospitality, healthcare sectors, etc.
Schneider is one of the companies providing power protection solutions. The UPS protects power infrastructure for all IT components we have, like servers, network backrooms, surveillance rooms, etc.
Stability is one of the key points. The durability and lifetime of the product are also notable.
Additionally, the product features very powerful management software.
There is room for improvement in pricing only.
I have been using Schneider Electric for 12 years. We are a partner and a system integrator, selling all services.
I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten.
There's a little room for improvement. Recently, we've encountered some faulty units. Also, in terms of the accuracy of the stability it should provide, there have been instances where it wasn't as stable as expected. So, reaching a perfect ten isn't quite there.
It's a highly scalable solution. The solution is very scalable.
We have more than 100 users working with this solution.
The deployment process for the UPS is quite technical, focusing on broad protection. It's not a straightforward deployment, as it necessitates preparation, site inspections, and other factors. It's not a simple solution.
It is actually a hardware power protection device. It's power protection hardware, so it's always on-premises. It's not a software-only solution like something that could be deployed over the cloud.
The setup of the solution requires a trained and certified engineer. Deployment takes one to two hours and an engineer and a technician to complete.
One engineer and one technician are enough for deployment and maintenance.
It takes some time. The ROI can go up to three years.
By lowering pricing, we can have higher ROI.
The hardware and the licensing are expensive. Schneider needs to reconsider the licensing cost much more than the hardware cost.
The solution comes with a yearly subscription. Apart from the standard licensing fee, there is a support fee. It is not added to the license fee. We have to pay for a license and support.
If you want a very stable and reliable power protection solution, then you should go for Schneider Electric.
Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
