The short version

  • Only Leaflet has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Hexagon PPM Mining pricing is custom and not publicly transparent, requiring direct negotiation with sales teams; Leaflet 2D only with no support for 3D features, tilt, or rotation
  • They diverge on capability: Hexagon PPM Mining covers Asset lifecycle management, Leaflet covers Core Functionality.

Where each one falls short

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

Hexagon PPM Mining

  • Pricing is custom and not publicly transparent, requiring direct negotiation with sales teams
  • Block model management traditionally lacked version control and audit trails, though the new Block Model Manager addresses this
  • Manual configuration of pit optimization scenarios is time-consuming and limits the ability to evaluate multiple scenarios quickly
  • Implementation and adoption require significant training due to the breadth of modules and complex workflows

Leaflet

  • 2D only with no support for 3D features, tilt, or rotation
  • Performance degrades when rendering large datasets of complex vector geometries without optimization
  • Limited dynamic styling support; style is fixed on the server when using raster tiles
  • Lacks native support for WMS features; requires plugins like Leaflet.WMS and complex feature identification is cumbersome
  • Requires external tile service for map imagery; does not provide map tiles natively
