Solid unit but can't access via Ethernet port
on April 7, 2021

I have 3 of these units in my remote observatory and being able to view information on them remotely is extremely important. I wish it were possible to access them directly via the Ethernet port. They are too far away from my equipment for a USB connection, and one unit only has networking gear on it.
Pros: High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Cons: Difficult Management

Great UPS but the SOFTWARE is horrible

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can never access my 3 APC SmartUPS on my network... it seems to theirs always an issue. Why can't APC make software that doesn't need so much maintenance to work.?
And my Nickname is too short... You people just love torturing your customers.
Pros: High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
Cons: Difficult to Use, Difficult Management
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Extremely reliable, well-built piece of equipment!

Deployed about 10 of these to a local financial institution who also wanted the ability to network manage all of the UPS's via the internet. The product is solid, with some software features lacking. Overall a very good buy.

Having to manage it only via the APC site is a NO!
on September 17, 2021
Posted by: muie APC
There is no local web interface, the UPS have to be allowed to connect to the APC site in order to be configured - this is a big NO in any security conscious organization.
Cons: Difficult to Use, Difficult Maintenance, Difficult Management
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Becoming the standard of small business rack UPS
on November 25, 2019
Posted by: Splattered23
from San Diego, Ca
These are quickly becoming the standard 1500VA solution for our small business customers with a rack that only need a smaller amount of runtime for their equipment. As always these are solid and reliable and the LCD is great and easy to read. The SmartConnect for remote monitoring works very well too. Highly recommended!

Such a Great PRICE You'll Think It's a MISPRINT!

If you don’t require a rack mounted UPS, this UPS is one heck of a great deal. Plenty of capacity for most home and desktop applications at a price you won’t believe. Pure sine wave output and AVR are great performance highlights, but the value of the new “SmartConnect” feature is even better. Plus, APC allows “1 Additional Year of Battery Warranty for FREE when you connect and register your Smart-UPS with SmartConnect”. Don’t pass up this incredible value!
