User configuration
Reviewed on 2020/11/16
Pros
Really like the ability for the user to easily configure it to their needs, yet maintain the degree of standardisation required for central programme management. The software is really easy to navigate and standardised dashboards make it simple to incorporate into operational data requirements. The Cotopaxi team are continually developing the solution with new updates coming up as understanding of the user experience and demands are developing.
Cons
The things I like least are less to do with the software and more relating to the implementation of the platform and onboarding of teams using it. The full value of the software is yet to be fully materialised.

Pros
What I liked about Strata was its detailed excel style organization that kept data looking clean and easy to find.
Cons
What I liked least about Strata was that it took a lot of manual line by line implementation to make changes to information.

The functionality and decent performance of the product is complemented by the excellent support of the Cotopaxi team. Strata helps to manage energy and other resources and improve or at least maintain the efficiency of their use.
Pros
Strata offers nice and easy to learn user interface you like at the first sight. It provides quick access to all your data through transparent organizational structure and set of dashboards. Creation of wide variety of reports is really super easy. The system was always stable and had short response time even in case of bigger volume of data. It is constantly evolving, new functions are being added.
Cons
Strata, in order to be fast and simple, sometimes doesnt provide the level of flexibility you may need to cover all possible cases you may face in practice. So far, however, we have always managed to find a satisfactory solution in cooperation with Cotopaxi developers. It is still a search for a compromise between the complexity of the system and its maintenance and its flexibility.
Response from Cotopaxi

The need to purchase transmitters for integration
Response from Cotopaxi
Hi Ridwan, thanks for your positive feedback.
With regards to transmitters, we try to integrate with a site's existing hardware wherever possible. We will make recommendations on what additional telemetry will provide insights to allow for energy savings, but it is up to the site to decide where and what telemetry they prefer. If you are not happy with your chosen solution, there are alternative options, which our Telemetry team can discuss with you.
Strata also has Real time capability which allows live streaming of data into Strata for accurate real time analysis of essential information. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] if you need any assistance.
