My advice is to take your time and plan out your rack elevations in the beginning to make sure everything lays out the way you want it. The biggest lesson I've learned from using this solution is to make sure you've got the right mounting brackets before you get started. We had to zip-tie the PDUs to the wire manager while we waited for the brackets to get here. We had downtime planned. We took them out of the box without looking at them ahead of time, which was my fault, and realized the brackets weren't long enough to accommodate our wire management, because we've got oversized wire management. As for other solutions from Eaton, we're using all their UPSs now. The university has also gone to their automatic transfer switches. They just fired up their first ones a couple of weeks ago and they seem to be very happy with them. The comprehensiveness of the vendor's power management offerings is excellent. My network engineers use this solution to monitor and do remote, so four people use it, counting myself. They do everything that has to do with that system.

We do not use Eaton's remote monitoring at the moment. We intend to set metered outlets up, but we have not set it up yet. My advice would be to keep it simple and don't be afraid to try something new if you haven't before. The people at Eaton treated me very fairly. They were very straight and professional in addressing my needs. They were very attentive and it was that kind of service and attention which made me certain that they have the right attitudes backing the product, the design, and manufacture of the product itself. It's not just about the PDUs but the people behind it. They have the right attitudes. I would rate Eaton PDUs a ten out of ten.
