Horrible support for a product that can be improved in every way possible
This solution could be improved in every way possible. First, support is horrible at its best, and non-existent at its worst. Stencil updates, for example, can take up to one year before you even see anything. The vendor is all supportive when you are looking to purchase the product. However, once you have the software, they make ghosts even look real. The core product was last updated in 2013. It uses a cobbled together Excel spreadsheet as a database, mixed in with poorly developed and outdated Visio layouts and stencils. Don't expect it to work well with anything that's not Internet Explorer, not to mention the hesitations and IE crashes that come from the horrible coding.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The power management aspect of nlyte provides a comprehensive overview of power consumption and forecasting capabilities. It allows for strategic planning, such as assessing the impact of adding new racks with specific power requirements. This feature facilitates considerations not only for power consumption but also for thermal aspects, including airflow dynamics between hot and cold aisles. In essence, the most advantageous feature of nlyte sfor us lies in its power management capabilities."
"The only features that we have found valuable are related to rack elevation and layout, where it has the ability to build rack elevations."
 

Cons

"Nylte is quite intricate to use. Training someone to navigate the platform would likely require a substantial investment, ranging from one to two months for basic proficiency, followed by an additional two to three months of consistent use to gain full proficiency. Despite its complexity, I believe there is room for simplification, making it more user-friendly. While there have been improvements, there is potential for further enhancements in this area."
"It uses a cobbled together Excel spreadsheet as a database, mixed in with poorly developed and outdated Visio layouts and stencils."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We currently hold a perpetual license, and our expenditure is limited to support costs. While I recall that the new license model follows a subscription-based SaaS approach, I don't have the precise cost details as we are not actively using it at the moment."
