ETAP vs Easy Power. What is better?

[qqitek]

Hello Fellows,

I am new on this forum, and honestly speaking -I am amazed about how helpfull it is!
It is simple excellent!

But coming to the topic - my company wants to choose dedictaed software for electrical calculation (load flows, short circuits, motor starting, generators, etc. for power plants and industry sector).
We (electrical team) need to test some programs.

Initially, I shortlisted as below:
a)for calculations:
-Easy power
-Etap

b)for grounding etc,
-CDEGS
-CYME

Pls advice me, what is better, what suits you more, what is more user friendly?
Any other ideas?
What do you use?

Best regards,
qqitek

Hello,

finally my company decided to go with ETAP.
Maybe it is similar to Easy Power, but it gives possibility to export single lines directly to smart plant.
