Pros

Staff was great to work with, and the software is user-friendly once you know what you're doing.

Cons

Setup took a while to get running smoothly, and there were occasional issues that needed to be ironed out throughout the use of the software. But any issues were fixed quickly

The best part of working with WatchWire is working with the EnergyWatch team. I championed WatchWire within my company and the EnergyWatch team always provided me with the right data at the right time to help me sell WatchWire internally.

Pros

The comprehensiveness of the software is what impresses me the most. I led the team that helped choose WatchWire and now we are rolling it out to several parts of our organization and even to some of our direct customers and suppliers. Another great part of the platform is the 'tentacle' it has into various sustainability databases, accounting systems, and metering devices.

Cons

My company is in the electrical system manufacturing business, so power quality data is important to us. I'd like to see the WatchWire platform evolve with more power-related data sets, such as current, voltage, etc.

Reasons for Choosing WatchWire

The first time I saw the WatchWire solution, I went back to my leadership and said 'we have to have this.' WatchWire is so superior to our internal development efforts that switching was an easy -- and way more affordable -- decision.

Pros

Watchwire is an outstanding all-around energy management software. The tool is extremely intuitive to use and well organized, but doesn't skimp on advanced functionality in any way including data APIs, efficiency/renewable project M&V, budgeting, and bill simulation.

Cons

I don't have any complaints about EnergyWatch!

Customizable, Real-Estate Forward Software

Reviewed on 2024/05/14

Pros

WatchWire is very customizable and definitely has a real estate focus - compared to other platforms. We are able to truly organize and analyze our properties in unique and evolving ways and see our data in real time. There is generally no waiting - you can see your data or pull a report daily and see everything up to date.

Cons

Much like the industry it sits within, WatchWire is continuing to mature and evolve which of course can bring growing pains, but they are committed to making things work and innovating in the process.

We view our company as a big family. WatchWire treats us very similarly. From the first call, through the sales portion, and through implementation and beyond, we have been treated with respect and our opinions and preferences have been valued. We feel included in the process, and WatchWire has always worked with us and where we are as an organization. Their people make the company and their products better.

Pros

Because our data is uploaded and organized so well by WatchWire, we are able to create custom KPIs and utilize integrations to effectively and efficiently monitor, alert, and report on energy consumption.

Cons

Some of the provided reports are not as intuitive as preferred.

Fantastic experience. The team not only helps with our needs but offers consulting on areas outside of their scope. Without this service an additional head count would be required to manage the program. And we would have to obtain a separate software.

Pros

Watchwire provides invoice collection, invoice management, strategy consulting and analytic provider of utilities data for services throughout the USA and Canada. Implementation was managed by the Energy Watch team. It was turn key and exceptional. Online portal is excellent. It has increased our teams credibility with internal business partners.

Cons

The software has met all of our needs.

We had a very positive experience working with the Energy Watch team during the implementation phase. The team is still very engaged and available to help us with questions and training.

Pros

The WatchWire platform has reduced our data entry in both our AP system and the spreadsheets we previously used to track energy consumption and rates. A scheduled file transfer to our ERP facilitates our payment processing. The reporting capabilities are robust and give us more timely and useful information.

Cons

Integration was smooth. To date, the product is meeting our expectations.

The customer service with WatchWire has been stellar. The team has been very helpful with personalized requests and items specific to our portfolio. The Energy Watch staff has even met with our external data verifiers and helped with additional requests and they’ve gone above and beyond.

Pros

This software is easy to use, the added functionality of the different kinds of on-demand reporting is helpful. The financial data that WatchWire gathers is helpful to understand more about property operations and areas of improvement. The user friendly aspects that I like are being able to make manual changes in the platform and approving any invoices that didn’t pass audits. It’s very helpful to be able to sync to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager on demand.

Cons

I wish there were more options for calendarization on the many reports. It would also be helpful to have a normalization option based on the building occupants once they’ve been entered into WatchWire as a KPI.
