Where each one falls short

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

Dassault Systemes GEOVIA

  • 3ds.com's GEOVIA portfolio page names its product categories but every pricing action is a 'Contact us' link; no edition names, tiers or figures are published anywhere on the page

Maptek I-Site

  • The workflow depends on buying Maptek laser scanner hardware, sold as the NS4, XR3, XR3-D and UR3 models
  • Scanner range is fixed per model, at 1,000 m for the NS4, 2,800 m for the XR3, 1,200 m for the XR3-D and 3,500 m for the UR3, so range upgrades mean buying different hardware
  • No price, licence type or subscription term is published; the page offers only a spec sheet request and a contact form
