Pros & Cons

Buzz Solutions logo
Buzz Solutions

Pros

  • Specialized for power assets, with more than 50 pre-trained defect models usable from the first day
  • Analyzes RGB and thermal imagery together and pairs AI detection with human-in-the-loop review
  • PowerGUARD reuses existing substation CCTV, so new cameras are not needed for security alerts
  • Large named utility customers including Dominion Energy, AEP and the New York Power Authority
  • Works with Esri GIS and Skydio drones, and the site mentions Maximo integration

Cons

  • No public pricing; buyers must book a demo
  • Narrow focus on electric grid and solar assets
  • Not a full asset management or maintenance system, so it relies on other tools for work execution
  • No compliance certifications such as SOC 2 are listed on the site
  • Little independent user review data is available

InFlightAI (formerly Levatas)

Pros

  • About 37 ready-to-use computer vision models, including analog gauge reading (patented in 2019), thermal hotspots, corrosion and utility pole condition, so teams do not need to train models themselves.
  • Deep hardware partnerships: Boston Dynamics' first Certified Technology Partner for Industrial AI, plus a native integration with Skydio Cloud and the X10 dock.
  • Low-confidence detections go to human reviewers, and their feedback retrains the models on the customer's own data, which reduces false alarms over time.
  • Pushes inspection results into IBM Maximo, Oracle EAM, IFS Cloud and MaintainX, and offers an API for other systems.
  • Runs as containers in a private cloud, on-premises or at the edge, and the vendor says data stays inside the customer's network.

Cons

  • No public pricing. Outside the 30-day trial for Skydio X10 owners, buyers have to go through sales.
  • It analyzes data but does not capture it, so you need Skydio drones, Spot robots or compatible cameras.
  • No native work order or CMMS module. Maintenance jobs have to be created in a connected EAM.
  • Almost no independent user reviews on G2, Capterra or forums, which makes it hard to verify the vendor's performance claims.
  • No published security certifications such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 were found on the website.
  • The 2026 rebrand from Levatas means older documentation and press still use the old name, and the support portal remains on a levatas.com domain.
