What do you like best about ETAP?

As I use it frequently i.e. 5 times in a week and use numerous design features including load flow study, arc flash hazard in most of my projects. I can say that it is a software which is very easy to use and the project implementation does not take too much time. Moreover, the customer support is very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ETAP?

One thing which can be a area of improvement is it's cost it should be reduced and they should give promo codes to the students who can not utilize this software just because they can't afford it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ETAP solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I do work in the industry where we add different kind of electrical loads time to time. Due to which we need to run the load flow analysis of our electrical network to keep the electrical system in order. To run the load flow analysis we use ETAP frequently.

What do you like best about ETAP?

Etap is an excellent work tool for power system analysis, which allows simulating single-line diagrams of power systems and simulating events such as load analysis, power flow, and short-circuit current calculation at the buses. In addition, it has a wide library of electrical components that facilitates the work, such as motors, electrical protections, and generators. My total recommendation if you work in power system studies is to use ETAP as a work tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ETAP?

Etap is a software that helps you perform your calculations for studies with respect to electrical energy, the software allows you to observe every possible failure that could occur if the design is bad, has some very good drawing tools and its interface is very fast and fluid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ETAP?

In the time I've been using etap I have not had any kind of inconvenience, the only thing was that it was difficult for me to use the software for the first time, but after I learned how to use it there were no problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ETAP:

Etap is a very good software for both experts and for beginners. Its calculation system is very precise. It has not failed me the first time and its tools to make the designs are very good. I recommend it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ETAP solving and how is that benefiting you?

normally in my work I have to review the stations of transmission of the equipment of the company and sometimes make the designs of the new stations, to make these designs ETAP has helped me a lot, I can perform the consumption studies to calculate the bank of transformers between other things and I can carry out the study of the grounding system for the protection of the equipment.
