The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Bently Nevada System 1 system 1 assumes Bently Nevada hardware; connected to third-party protection systems it loses access to the dynamic and transient data that is the entire reason to buy it, so the software choice is really made when the racks are specified.; Landis+Gyr Gridstream the platform depends on Landis+Gyr metering hardware, including electric, gas and water meters plus communication network devices, rather than being sold as software alone
  • They diverge on capability: Bently Nevada System 1 covers Turbomachinery plot set, Landis+Gyr Gridstream covers Advanced metering infrastructure.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Bently Nevada System 1

  • System 1 assumes Bently Nevada hardware; connected to third-party protection systems it loses access to the dynamic and transient data that is the entire reason to buy it, so the software choice is really made when the racks are specified.
  • It is priced by machine train, which makes it appropriate for a dozen critical machines and prohibitively expensive as a plant-wide condition monitoring system for balance-of-plant equipment.
  • Reading the output well needs a rotating machinery specialist; orbit and shaft centreline plots are not self-explanatory, and a site without that skill will either buy the Baker Hughes remote monitoring service or under-use the software.
  • The annual support and upgrade contract is a continuing cost that must be maintained to stay on supported versions, and lapsing it on a system tied to safety-relevant protection hardware is not a realistic saving.
  • Nothing about pricing is published and the product is sold as part of a machinery relationship with Baker Hughes, so competitive tension at renewal is limited once the hardware is installed.

Landis+Gyr Gridstream

  • The platform depends on Landis+Gyr metering hardware, including electric, gas and water meters plus communication network devices, rather than being sold as software alone
  • No price, licensing model or subscription term is published on the solutions pages; the site offers only a contact form and a distributor finder
  • Deployment, integration and ongoing optimisation are sold as separate Lifecycle Services rather than included

Questions people ask

Is Bently Nevada System 1 or Landis+Gyr Gridstream better?
Neither clearly leads. Bently Nevada System 1 starts at On request and Landis+Gyr Gridstream at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
Which is cheaper, Bently Nevada System 1 or Landis+Gyr Gridstream?
Bently Nevada System 1 starts at On request and Landis+Gyr Gridstream at On request.
Does Bently Nevada System 1 or Landis+Gyr Gridstream run on more platforms?
Bently Nevada System 1 runs on Windows, Web, On-premise. Landis+Gyr Gridstream runs on Web, Api.
What is Bently Nevada System 1 best used for?
Bently Nevada System 1 is most often used for a refinery with api 670 protected compressor trains needing transient startup data captured and analysed, which general vibration platforms cannot do, an lng plant where a single unplanned compressor trip costs more than the entire monitoring programme, a power station correlating turbine vibration with process conditions to distinguish a real fault from a load-related response, an offshore operator using remote diagnostics because there is no rotating machinery specialist on the installation. Of those, a refinery with api 670 protected compressor trains needing transient startup data captured and analysed, which general vibration platforms cannot do and an lng plant where a single unplanned compressor trip costs more than the entire monitoring programme are not what Landis+Gyr Gridstream is typically brought in for.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Bently Nevada System 1: Do I need Bently Nevada hardware?

Practically, yes. System 1 can take some third-party inputs but the dynamic and transient data that justify it come from 3500 or Orbit 60 racks.

Landis+Gyr Gridstream: How much does Landis+Gyr GridStream cost?

Landis+Gyr does not publish pricing on their website. Contact Landis+Gyr directly through their contact forms, reach out to a local distributor, or contact their sales team for pricing information.

Source
Bently Nevada System 1: Is System 1 suitable for all my plant motors?

No. It is priced and designed for critical machine trains. Balance-of-plant motors are far better served by a general condition monitoring platform.

Landis+Gyr Gridstream: How do I request Landis+Gyr pricing?

Use the website contact form, reach out to a local distributor, log in as an existing customer, or contact Landis+Gyr sales directly for pricing details.

Source
Bently Nevada System 1: What does Orbit 60 add?

A newer protection platform with SIL certification and a built-in data diode, which removes the network security objection to connecting protection systems.

Bently Nevada System 1: Can Baker Hughes monitor the machines for me?

Yes, remote machinery diagnostic services are offered, which is how many sites without an in-house specialist actually consume System 1.
