Shameless plug ... rrdbot does efficient light-weight snmp polling, and
should be very flexible for mixing with other software:

Cacti is a cracking bit of software, but I found this difficult to
integrate and customize to what we required.

We were quoted something like £50k for something awfully similar..

I do the same, but with ganglia. I've noticed that different APCs
report power differently (after comparing APC output to BCMS output.)
Our newer servers also report power consumption via IPMI: /usr/bin/
ipmitool sdr type Current. We also graph that via ganglia.

I'd think SNMP will be what any product uses to query APC gear, even their own
suite uses SNMP to collect information and receive traps.
We use cacti to graph our loads on the APC power bars and UPS gear, gives you
everything you need on all phases/legs, was there something in particular you
