Cyberhawk

Pros

• Combines inspection flights by its own pilots with the software, so a utility can outsource the whole inspection program to one vendor.
• Proven at large grid scale, including more than 11,500 SSEN transmission towers and nearly 150 substations.
• The vendor says iHawk connects to EAM, WFM and OMS systems through open APIs.
• Ingests drone, satellite, helicopter, ground camera and IoT sensor data into one map-based view.
• The vendor offers structured onboarding and 24/7 technical support with SLAs.

Cons

• No public pricing and no self-serve or trial tier.
• Very little independent user review coverage, so most claims come from the vendor.
• Mainly aimed at large utilities and energy companies, so it is a poor fit for small teams.
• Ownership changed to Ondas in 2026, which could affect the product roadmap.

Hepta Insights

Pros

• Analyzes several sensor types, including RGB, thermal, LiDAR, and corona discharge data, in one platform.
• Hepta says it processes about 250 km of line data in roughly five minutes, which cuts manual review time.
• Can be bought together with Hepta's own drone data collection, so utilities without a drone program can still use it.
• Hepta names large utility customers such as Enefit Connect, E.ON, EDP, and DTEK.

Cons

• No public pricing beyond a freemium tier.
• Narrowly focused on power line inspection.
• No independent user reviews on major review sites.
• No published security certifications or API documentation.
• The AI is tuned for recall, so reviewers should expect some false positives.
