Where each one falls short

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

EQuIS Enterprise

  • No price, licence type or term is published on the product or hosting pages; the site directs buyers to a demo request or a phone call
  • On premises deployment requires Microsoft SQL Server, which is licensed separately
  • Viewer access for non licensees and subcontractors requires a separate third party agreement
  • Sandbox environment access under software maintenance is subject to additional fees
  • Upgrade pricing is discounted only for customers holding software maintenance

Datamine

  • Datamine publishes no price, no licence term and no named cost driver; the planning pages route buyers to a consultation or a sales contact form
  • The portfolio is split into many separate products across strategy, design, scheduling, blasting, survey and production, so a complete workflow requires assembling several licences
  • Products acquired from other vendors, including Minemax Scheduler and Minemax Tempo, are now sold inside Datamine bundles rather than standalone
