Where each one falls short

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

Autodesk Construction Cloud

  • Autodesk Construction Cloud has been rebranded as Autodesk Forma and the ACC product names have changed, so existing documentation and training refer to superseded names
  • All three bundles (Model Management, Preconstruction and Construction Operations) are sold by Get a Quote with no published price
  • Capability is split across separate bundles, so a firm needing preconstruction and construction operations buys two bundles
  • Pricing is described as user, project and account-based rather than a single published per-seat rate
  • The money-back guarantee is limited to 30 days
  • Expert support hours are 24 hours a day Monday to Friday, so weekends are not covered

Egnyte

  • Storage is allocated per plan rather than per user, at 100 GB on Business and 150 GB on every tier above it
  • That means Elite at $48 per user per month carries the same 150 GB as Enterprise Lite at $39
  • The Business plan caps the account at 100 power users, so growth past that forces a jump to $39 per user
  • Every published price requires annual payment
  • The Ultimate tier is quoted rather than listed
