Re: APC vs TrippLite metered PDU's

I haven't had any experience with TrippLite's interface, but I've gotten very frustrated with java interfaces lately and avoid them if possible.

APC's web interface is both simple and easy. I use their switched rack PDUs, but I believe the interface is the same for metered. It's simple and easy, but has enough features to be generally useful to me.

+1 for APC, HTML based GUI, also supports major management protocols. Never had a problem with it.

If I recall correctly, they have an HTML-based GUI.  I rarely use it.  I mainly use SSH and SNMP which they support as 
well.

Hello All,

We currently use TrippLite and over all have been very happy with
their metered PDU's. When we first started out we had some minor
issues and their support went above and beyond. Lately the their Java
web interface has been becoming a real pain. More and more browsers
lock it by default and it takes a lot of work to get it working
correctly. Does anyone have any experience with APC? How are is
management of their devices and over all how do they operate?

TIA.
