Where each one falls short

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

Envirosuite

  • Envirosuite publishes no price; the site shows no rate, no per site fee and no minimum, and routes buyers to sales or a demo
  • The offering combines software with physical monitoring hardware, so a deployment requires buying or installing sensor equipment for air, dust, odour, noise, vibration or water
  • Coverage is per monitored parameter, so adding noise or water monitoring to an air quality deployment is a further purchase

Minemax

  • minemax.com/products returns a 301 redirect to dataminesoftware.com; Minemax products are now sold within the Datamine planning range
  • No pricing is published for any Minemax product; licences are obtained by contacting the Datamine sales team
  • Products are sold as role based Planning Bundles rather than individual licences, with the claimed saving of up to 33 percent measured against standalone licence cost
