If you are researching SimplexGrinnell competitors specifically for environmental monitoring you have found one of their largest competitors. Today’s post will attempt to break down the many offerings from SimplexGrinnell (SG) and Ravica. For more information about our fully integrated monitoring solutions visit Ravica.com.
First of all SimplexGrinnell competitors like Ravica, generally don’t focus just on fire monitoring. Fire, on the other hand, is pretty much the focus of SG who specializes in fire detection, suppression control panels as well as smoke detectors. As far as security products are concerned, SG generally differs to their parent company (Tyco International) which means as a customer, you deal with an entirely different support organization “you need to hang up and call this number.” The same holds true if you want to invest in humidity monitoring, electric current monitoring, water detection, etc. With SG it might be one company for support, but the trouble shooting experience will resemble working with entirely different companies. Ravica, on the other hand, offers a complete environmental monitoring product line, and the same support tech trouble shoots the entire product line.
Environmental Monitoring Solutions can include:
- Fire Detection
- Monitoring
- Intrusion Detection
- Video Surveillance
- Integrated Security Solutions
- Access Control
When I searched the SG website, here is what I found:
- Support: Unlisted
- Warranty: Unlisted
- Base Unit Lifespan: Unlisted
- Software Solution Price: Unlisted
- Alert Notification Suite: Unlisted
- SimplexGrinnell Pricing: By request only. Contact SimplexGrinnell.
Looking for Anixter?
I decided to investigate Anixter as well, and their environmental monitoring solutions actually looked considerably better than SG. Here is what I found on the Anixter web site:
- Network Infrastructure
- Security Solutions
- Electrical Infrastructure
- Supply Chain Solutions
- Access Control
- Video Surveillance
- Fire Systems
Again however, details were lacking on :
- Support: Unlisted
- Warranty: Unlisted
- Base Unit Lifespan: Unlisted
- Software Solution: Multiple software available. I’ll digress on this one a bit more below.
The Anixter software solution appears to be confusing and costly. Here is what could be gathered from their web site:
- Licensed by software type and number of users and/or years
- Certification may be required
