  Like all other UPSes, they suck.  But not as much as not having a UPS.

  Specific problems include: A million different models with poor
differentiation and unnecessary design differences; OEM replacement
batteries are hard to find/order; the front panel UI for models
without a alphanumeric display is confusing.  In the past their USB
interfaces had problems with a very common Intel chipset, but I expect
they've fixed that by now.  In the past their PC-based software
sucked, but I haven't used it in forever, and everyone else's software
sucks, too.

  On the plus side: They're often cheaper than the competition, they
have the best selection of double-conversion models; unlike 1/2 the
APC UPSes I've used, I've never had the batteries swell up and jam
inside the chassis.

  I considered Eaton for our current UPS strategy but their
extended-run options were poor for the voltage and amp-hours we
happened to need.

RE: Eaton UPSs?

[Bob Fronk]

Have had a 9170+ for about 5 years.  It has provided good service.  I have it 
serviced every 6 months and all the batteries have been replaced at least twice 
over this period.

It did suffer a battery controller failure a couple years ago, which lead to 
shutting itself off without by-passing, so it killed power to three racks of 
servers.  IIRC, there was a firmware upgrade to resolve this in the future.

Overall, I have been happy with the product and the service techs have been 
very knowledgeable.

We have several.  I like them.  Very simple to use, nice web GUI and SSH/telnet 
access.
