Review on ETAP by Alex Jones

Easy to use for both engineers and non-engineers alike. The graphical interface makes it very user friendly, even for those without formal training in computer science or math. A little slow sometimes with large models especially when using multiple cores. Sometimes you have to go back several screens to get everything set up right before creating your first model. Also, using this product can be expensive since its not free like many other products out there. But if your organization has the budget to purchase then I would highly recommend getting one from your local Microsoft reseller. This tool allows us to quickly build multi phase loads/loads which are needed for our projects that include substations as well as transmission lines.
