  • Limited data for smaller or private companies
  • Now integrated into HubSpot as Breeze Intelligence, may affect standalone availability

QAD

  • No price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published on the site; the only routes are a demo request and a Contact Sales link
  • Field service management, enterprise asset management and quality management are presented as separate functional areas rather than a single priced bundle
