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

Wattwatchers EMS

  • Requires hardware installation at each monitoring point, increasing total cost of ownership
  • Built for small to medium portfolios; scaling to large portfolios may present usability challenges
  • Limited to energy monitoring; not a comprehensive building management system
