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.

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.

Great integration of Lease Admin and Accounting.

Setting up Ad Hoc reports can be a little difficult. Understanding how to get the filtering to work is not as easy as some systems I have worked with.

For the Real Estate prospective the most useful feature is the report field. It is very useful and easy to use because you can review and check all the info (General and Financial) for all the units.

The abstract function is extremely valuable in accessing quick information on specific topics, and the financial tracking function has cut our annual budgeting process time in half.

A great tool for lease management at governmental entities.

Overall a very positive experience, great integration team and customer service so far.

Everyone has been very helpful with any issues I have ran in to. My overall experience has been very good.

I looked at a lot of products to find a good fit for the type of Tenant-based leasing we do. No other product addressed our needs like VL.

Our inability to translate some of these leases in-house is difficult. It would be ideal if Visual Lease could also provide translation services.

Visual Lease has saved our company so much money, and has made many of our jobs much easier.

User manual very confusing to read. Sometimes input key (especially for dates) doesn't work and have to retype many times to get date in.

Recording, tracking and reporting of approximately 450 leases. Has been an effective and robust solution for us.

The integration in to our ERP system is great and saves me hours during month end.

When it comes to putting dates there is sometimes a different way to put them in. Depending on the country your are working with dates can be misleading.

Customer Service is excellent, prompt and efficient. The value given for the cost is very attractive; Visual Lease is very cost efficient.

The lease administration functions are much easier to use and there is a seamless flow into the lease accounting functions. Our implementation manager was amazing.

The Training videos are very helpful and customer service has been outstanding.

Loading the Leased assets and tracking is easy and the reports are simple.

We have been using VisualLease as our exclusive leasing program for almost seven years, and it has never failed to fulfill our leasing neeeds.

Visual lease helps me to stay on top of the key dates in our leases such as expiration dates, rent increases, etc. It also helps save time with our month end accounting.

Visual Lease's professional and knowledgeable personnel from the first inquiry about the system to customer service are their greatest asset.

It's easy to use, and it makes it easy to organize and visualize the lease information.

Sometimes it can be confusing to use day to day.

Sometimed the drop down date is not as intuitive as you would think. This is a small thing but I have made a mistake or two because of not paying attention.

We transitioned from using excel to manage our portfolio to Visual Lease and it has made everything significantly easier and massively reduces the risk of human error.

The software is easy to use and the platform looks smart and professional. Reports are easy to manage and the software performs relatively complex calculations easily.

It gives me great confidence that we will get the support we need going forward.

Outstanding Integration, Great Software So Far.
