ETAP allows me to create and analyze conceptual system layouts easily. It has been an indispensable tool for me and my team.

Great customer service, quick answers. Also quick to upgrade when there is change in IEEE, NFPA and other reference documentation.

Very powerful, fast results for the many plant studies that need to be performed. ETAP is one of the best power systems analysis tools for engineers.

The lower version ETAP can't open a higher version ETAP file. ETAP is updating new version while we may use various version.

The software has a very good user-friendly ability. Also, the simulation is well done and the report well compiled.

Having used SKM and Easy Power, ETAP by far is the most accurate and easy to use power Analysis software. ETAP library is outstanding and easy to use.

TCC, Arc Flash and short circuit studies help keep facility personnel safe and help identify where changes are needed.

ETAP has supported the nuclear power industry by designing and supplying software for our specialized analytical needs for over 20 years.

Etap has a wide variety of equipment that can be connected. The help function is very well put together, for every single user interface window.

The results are not what we expect just to find out we are missing one feature that is in another module that we didnt buy.

Architecture of the software, mainly in assembly one line diagrams and alter create scenarios to simulate the system. Reports and labels in portuguese is perfect to deliver to our costumers.

Etap is very useful for an electrical engineer, and is fantastic to model electrical systems.

It's very hard to get our logo on the drawing let alone creating a general borer that could always be pulled up and the SLD would be inserted.

User friendly and thus easy to use than any other power system analysis softwares.

Variety of functions, Help function is comprehensive and useful.

Customer support has been pretty good, they will assist you when you have technical questions on how to model certain things, or if the library does not have a specific model of breaker, for example.

My overall experience is really good. ETAP offers seminars and their help support is quite responsive.

The star graphs are really nice and look good in reports. I like being able to set up macros, it makes running multiple test cases a lot easier.

I like how the help feature can be directly accessed from each pop up window. The help window is usually very thorough and provides addiditonal references.

I have used ETAP in my electric calculation and after geting result I could write proper specification and be fully confident that I provide the best offer to costumer.

Having encountered ETAP Software as a user and a technical support personnel, I fail to come up with legitimate complains on the software.

ETAP guide book is pretty useful for fundamentals of calculation studies.

And it covers all the required electrical calculation we may encounter in the work. The technical support is good basically.

With ETAP I always optimize calculated electrical system with Optimum electrical equipment and minimal cost.

There is no room in scenario Wizard to put description of the designed study case.

Features can be a bit confusing for new users.

This software provides a very friendly interface and variety of tools that ease the process of design in our field. Also the customer service has always solved our questiones promptly.

I like it the most how user friendly it is and that it gives me the comfort that the results are correct.

I strongly recommend ETAP for electrical engineer who works on power system calculation.

There are a few things in ETAP that are actually annoying sometimes.

Like most software, ETAP does have some quirks that a user needs to learn either by peer coaching or through painful firsthand trial & error.

Results are easy to interpret. Default values are helpful when equipment specific values are not available.

Ease of use, user friendly, lot of tools for various studies.

Sometimes difficult to print a Single Line Diagram as intended.

I like that it is user friendly, drag and drop feature makes it easy to run ad hoc reports. Love the line item detail and notes feature in the templates.

Great experience for me. We have a dedicated business systems resource on our team who helps a lot.

The ability to integrate reports directly with system data pulls is a very nice feature that can help reduce the complexity of workbooks.

I like the functionality of the program and ease of use.

It makes month end easier. Great customer service team always there when help is needed.

Collaboration can also be difficult, as the individual models are fragile and must be updated online.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Once set it is good and there are no worries.

Upload of transactional data allows for greater degree of self-service research of budget variances on the part of budget owners.

The interface is pretty dated. I also mainly use chrome as my browser and there seems to be a lag time when scrolling in a template which is a bit of a pain.

I like being able to quickly and easily navigate to what I need. I like the user interface and options given upon login.

Host Analytics has greatly improved our team's capability to quickly consolidate & close each month.

Getting benefits in terms of financial analysis and setting up consistent reporting standards.

I dont like that to complete certificaiton, all users have to attend real life class.

I originally got into Host for budgeting and it has been great for that, but I have found it great for many other things. I also love the way it can grow with me.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Not all the modules have the same reporting tools.

Good planning tool that integrates well with excel.

Customer service is second to none. In my 30+ years in planning and analysis, I have never found a team so dedicated to ensuring their customer's success.

I was never able to go live. Never got any value out of it and they made me pay for 2 years.

It's extremely user friendly, easy to use, and allows our team to quickly consolidate, close and provide detailed financial reports each month.

The inability to do calculations in the report without creating a new template. Also as we are on Macs the inability to use spotlight in Mac Excel.

The planning tool helped us standardize our budgeting process and we're very impressed with the workforce planning module that helped us easily managing our headcount and compensation estimate.

We love the ease and flexibility of the tool. The monthly releases mean that the product is constantly making improvements.

A data pull is not immediate and can cause some frustration if data is not pulled 100% accurately the first time.

Our planning process runs more smoothly and efficiently again with less errors. We are able to consolidate our plans quicker.

OVerall is a great tool for the ease of standardizing and managing  our reports.
