Where each one falls short

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

EnergyCAP

  • Priced per meter per year, so cost scales with how many utility connection points exist rather than with users or sites
  • No figure is published at any level, and every package is quoted by sales
  • Emissions, interval data, bill capture and bill pay are separately priced add ons rather than part of the core platform

Oracle Utilities

  • Oracle Utilities does not appear on Oracle's published price list index, which covers Technology, eBusiness Suite, Fusion Applications, Engineered Systems, Business Intelligence, Siebel, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, MySQL, Java and several cloud lines
  • Where Oracle does publish prices they are downloadable PDF price lists rather than an interactive pricing page
  • Oracle publishes separate commercial and US Public Sector price lists, so the commercial rate does not apply to government buyers
