Review of WatchWire

The best part of working with WatchWire is working with the EnergyWatch team. I championed WatchWire within my company and the EnergyWatch team always provided me with the right data at the right time to help me sell WatchWire internally.

Pros:

The comprehensiveness of the software is what impresses me the most. I led the team that helped choose WatchWire and now we are rolling it out to several parts of our organization and even to some of our direct customers and suppliers. Another great part of the platform is the 'tentacle' it has into various sustainability databases, accounting systems, and metering devices.

Cons:

My company is in the electrical system manufacturing business, so power quality data is important to us. I'd like to see the WatchWire platform evolve with more power-related data sets, such as current, voltage, etc.

Reasons for choosing WatchWire

We chose WatchWire because of: (i) superior industry knowledge and insight, (ii) ease of use, (iii) comprehensiveness and ability to serve many constituents within our organization, (iv) very impressive feature set in a short period of time, (v) high-level of comfort with the engineering team and its ability to add features quickly.

Reasons for switching to WatchWire

The first time I saw the WatchWire solution, I went back to my leadership and said 'we have to have this.' WatchWire is so superior to our internal development efforts that switching was an easy -- and way more affordable -- decision.

Pros:

WatchWire is very customizable and definitely has a real estate focus - compared to other platforms. We are able to truly organize and analyze our properties in unique and evolving ways and see our data in real time. There is generally no waiting - you can see your data or pull a report daily and see everything up to date.

Much like the industry it sits within, WatchWire is continuing to mature and evolve which of course can bring growing pains, but they are committed to making things work and innovating in the process.

Everything in One Place

We view our company as a big family. WatchWire treats us very similarly. From the first call, through the sales portion, and through implementation and beyond, we have been treated with respect and our opinions and preferences have been valued. We feel included in the process, and WatchWire has always worked with us and where we are as an organization. Their people make the company and their products better.

Great service which added instant transparency and value to our organization.

Fantastic experience. The team not only helps with our needs but offers consulting on areas outside of their scope. Without this service an additional head count would be required to manage the program. And we would have to obtain a separate software.
