You can look at your policy in real-time and get an alert that tells you exactly where you are dropping

PredictPulse's reporting capabilities are pretty good. I like the web interface in PredictPulse. You can look at your policy in real-time and get an alert that tells you exactly where you are dropping power and if you're on bypass or not. If a module has gone bad, it tells you precisely what module and your risk capability. The PredictPulse usage gateway is pretty informative and gives you many options. We use the PredictPulse interface for alerts, and it sends out remote notifications almost immediately after detecting any abnormalities. We get text and email alerts whenever something happens. It costs because we pay for 24-hour monitoring. They also send us emails almost at the same time, so we don't really need to use the mobile app.

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

"The lesson I've learned is that it's a dependable solution to the maintenance and operational requirements for the UPS's that we have."

"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."

"So far, the UPSes have never let us down; they're 100 percent reliable at supplying power to our equipment."

"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 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."

"It has probably saved us six figures several times, because it allows us to fix issues before they bite us."

"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."

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

"They have redone the monthly report to make them easier to read through."

"I like visibility the service provides into our UPS equipment through its reporting, but it could be better. I would like it to be easier to set up for the specific things I'd like to monitor and how we would like to get notified. E.g., I would like to have battery run-time be more of an alert because I don't really care when the unit goes on battery, as long as it goes on battery. However, something I would care about is if the battery was down below 10 percent. That would be something which would be good to get notified on. It would also be good to have past data to be able to drill into if something had happened a week ago to do failure analysis on."

"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."

"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?"

"We did have an issue getting it initially connected from our system through their particular email address."

"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 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 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."

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."

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

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