Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your answer here? Our team is available to walk through any question you have.
How does WIN-911 handle centralized multi-site management?
WIN-911 provides centralized management through the System Management Console, allowing users to monitor alarms, manage contacts and schedules, and administer multiple sites from a single interface. TopView requires each installation to be managed independently, making multi-site administration more complex.
Does WIN-911 have a native mobile application?
WIN-911 includes SmartSights Mobile for iOS and Android, providing real-time alarm visibility, push notifications, and remote acknowledgment with secure online access. TopView offers browser-based mobile access, but it lacks the reliability, native functionality, and built-in remote connectivity of a dedicated mobile app.
Does SmartSights offer an ISA 18.2 alarm intelligence solution?
WIN-911 integrates with XLReporter to deliver complete ISA 18.2 KPI reporting, automated analytics, and continuous improvement workflows, while also supporting broader industrial reporting needs. TopView offers general alarm analytics but does not provide ISA 18.2-compliant reporting or an equivalent reporting platform.
How does WIN-911 handle SCADA-native integration?
WIN-911 includes native connectors for leading SCADA platforms, enabling streamlined setup and deeper integration with platform-specific alarm models. TopView primarily relies on generic OPC or database connectivity, which requires additional configuration and does not leverage native alarm structures.
How does subscription licensing work?
WIN-911 is available with both perpetual and subscription licensing, giving organizations flexibility to align with their purchasing preferences and operational needs. TopView is available only as a perpetual license, limiting options for customers who prefer a subscription model.
