Where each one falls short

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

iHawk by Cyberhawk

  • Cyberhawk's business is inspection services, so the platform is normally sold as part of a capture contract and the software line item cannot be compared cleanly against standalone asset inspection platforms
  • Nothing is published about price, and because contracts bundle flights, processing and platform access, the recurring cost after the inspection campaign ends is often not clear at signature
  • The value of the platform grows with the length of the historical series held in it, which makes switching increasingly expensive over time and gives the vendor leverage at renewal
  • It is a review and management platform rather than an enterprise asset management system, so defect findings still need to reach SAP or Maximo to become work orders, and that integration is a project in its own right
  • Automated defect detection reduces review effort but does not remove the need for qualified inspection engineers to sign off findings, so headcount savings are smaller than a technology-led business case usually assumes

Matterport

  • The free plan allows 1 active space and 2 users
  • The plans page shows no dollar amounts; price is set by the number of active spaces and only appears after selecting a plan
  • Paid plans are billed annually and each tier caps both active spaces and users, from 5 to 20 spaces and 3 users on Starter up to 100 to 300 spaces and 50 users on Business
  • Enterprise and government plans are contact sales with no published rate
  • Spaces beyond the plan allowance require moving to a higher tier rather than paying an incremental fee shown on the page
