What do you like best about Smart UPS?

Features and benefits and features are easy to use and straightforward. Makes installation and remote management a breeze. The notification system helps us know when a power outage occurs at some of our problematic school locations. diagnostics and firmware updates can be done remotely. Reporting can show you when power outages happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Smart UPS?

You can power off individual outlets but you require a premium subscription for this. It would be nice if this would be included at for the first year to demo and reflect costs. Our team does not use this feature due to cost. We have invested in a separate PDU solution to remotely manage power to our network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
