Pros/Cons
  • Pros

  • 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.
  • Cons

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

  • Pros

  • Simplicity and ease of use are the best features. I also appreciate the quick feedback that confirms submission of an entry.
  • Very easy to setup, easy to use without much training, and excellent customer support. No user account limitation.
  • Cons

  • Sometimes there is a delay in the drop down fields but that may be just network issues rather than the software.
  • Inspections do not auto create work orders for failed inspections.
