Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

3DEC

  • Pricing is not published; licences are quoted, with subscription and perpetual options
  • A specialist geomechanical tool rather than general purpose simulation, so it assumes the user is a rock mechanics engineer

Cority EHS

  • Cority publishes no price: the platform page shows no rate, no per user fee and no minimum, and offers no self service quote tool
  • The platform is divided into separate modules and solution sets for environmental, health, safety, sustainability and quality, so scope determines cost rather than a list price
  • Capabilities such as learning management, document control and mobile EHS are listed as distinct modules rather than included in one product
