Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
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
BricsCAD BIM
- Limited multidisciplinary collaboration features compared to Revit
- Smaller ecosystem of third-party add-ons and integrations
- Not optimized for complex large-scale projects requiring advanced coordination
