The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Comarch no pricing is published anywhere on the site for any product line; the only route to cost is a Kontakt z konsultantem (Consultant Contact) request for a quote; IQMS dassault Systemes acquired the product in 2018 and renamed it, which changed the sales channel, the support relationship and the roadmap owner, so a buyer needs explicit commitments on release cadence rather than a history of independence that no longer applies.

Where each one falls short

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

Comarch

  • No pricing is published anywhere on the site for any product line; the only route to cost is a Kontakt z konsultantem (Consultant Contact) request for a quote
  • The ERP line is split across three separately scaled products (Optima for SMBs, XL, Enterprise) with no published criteria distinguishing which a given company should quote

IQMS

  • Dassault Systemes acquired the product in 2018 and renamed it, which changed the sales channel, the support relationship and the roadmap owner, so a buyer needs explicit commitments on release cadence rather than a history of independence that no longer applies.
  • This is a discrete and repetitive manufacturing system, not a process one, so a batch producer needing formulation, potency, catch weight or co-product handling will hit capability gaps that configuration cannot close.
  • The product has an on premise heritage with an underlying commercial database, so a deployment carries database licensing and administration skills as costs that sit outside the ERP quote.
  • Its depth is on the shop floor rather than in the office, so organisations with complex multi-entity consolidation, international statutory reporting or sophisticated financial planning needs generally find the finance side thinner than the manufacturing side.
  • The knowledge base is split across two product names and two eras, so searching for help returns a mixture of IQMS-era community material and current DELMIAworks documentation, and it is not always obvious which applies to your version.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Comarch: How much does Comarch cost?

Comarch does not publish pricing online. The company offers enterprise ERP solutions like Comarch ERP Enterprise, Comarch ERP XL, and Comarch ERP Optima. Pricing is determined through custom quotes based on organization size and specific requirements. Contact Comarch sales at (12) 646 1000 or through their consultant contact form to request a quote.

IQMS: Is IQMS the same as DELMIAworks?

Yes. Dassault Systemes acquired IQMS in 2018 and markets the product as DELMIAworks. The underlying application, EnterpriseIQ, is the same lineage, but contracts, support and the sales channel are now Dassault's.

Comarch: What is Comarch's pricing model?

Comarch uses a quote-based pricing model tailored to enterprise customers. The company does not offer self-serve pricing or standardized subscription tiers. Customers must request personalized pricing from the sales team based on their deployment requirements.

IQMS: Why choose this over an ERP plus a separate MES?

Because the interface between them is the usual failure point. One database means production status, scrap and costing agree by construction. The cost of that is a narrower product that suits a specific kind of manufacturer rather than any manufacturer.

IQMS: Does it suit process or batch manufacturing?

No. It was built around discrete and repetitive production. Formulation, potency adjustment and co-product handling are the domain of process ERP and you should look at a specialist for that.

IQMS: What should I check before buying under the current ownership?

Ask for the published release history since the acquisition, the support escalation path, who implements it in your region and whether they are Dassault staff or a partner, and what integration with the rest of the Dassault portfolio is assumed in the roadmap.
