Easy to use line card
on June 22, 2023
Posted by: aclarkson
from Houston
I never really understood the use of a network card in my APC. I decided to get one and I love how I know can get metrics and alerts on APC unit. Everything from power outages to what is being used I now have access too. Install and setup is very easy and there is next to no maintenance for it. If you are getting an APC this is am must have add on.
Pros: Good Value, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
I would recommend this to a friend!

Peace Of MIND

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Electric UPS Network Management card allows you to manage your APC UPS power profiles either through terminal, SSH, or Web Browser. The amount of customization in the NMC is very impressive. You can customize thresholds, alarms, and graceful shutdown of independent power bays. These features ensure that your equipment will be protected in even the worst power nightmares and will provide stable power during medium length power outages securiny safe shutdown of servers and high-end gaming rigs. I got this for my home office in tandem with the Smart UPS 1500va. We have chronic power grid issues due to city overexpansion with power outages almost weekly. This UPS system is providing solid protection and I plan on buying more to proof all of our gaming and networking gear.
Pros: Energy Efficient, Easy to Perform Maintenance, Ease of Management, Good Value, High Quality, Good Vendor Support, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime

Seamless integration with the APC Smart UPS
on June 29, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'll keep it succinct: the Network Management Card from APC works in tandem with your Smart UPS to facilitate real-time monitoring through the SmartConnect cloud service. No more being tethered to your desk, or other such nonsense. While this card won't benefit those who are using their devices locally, without an internet connection, it makes all the difference when needing to check in on a workspace that has less-than-consistent electricity. To make the most of your power supply and surge protection, you need this card.

Unacceptable to charge for Firmware updates
on December 11, 2024
Posted by: Jane Doe
from New Hampshire
What company charges for firmware updates in this day an age with security a factor. Sadly up to date firmware is a requirement for our companies security policy. My leadership was even willing to purchase contracts but they dont even offer an option to get the firmware offline. They method they used for "offline" still requires to you upload a file from your network to them and get an answer file. That is a no go for our air gapped networks. Going to be losing a ton of business from your government customers over this policy of yours. We are going with someone else for future purchases that allows true offline firmware updates.

They make it simple to monitor and manage UPS systems remotely, which saves everyone a lot of time and keeps everything running smoothly. The security improvements over previous generations have also been a big plus. Overall, it’s a solid and dependable add-on we feel confident recommending.
