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

MineSched

  • 3ds.com's MineSched page describes the product's scheduling features in detail but publishes no pricing, no named edition or tier, and no figure of any kind
