The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Imago now a Seequent product rather than an independent one, so it sits inside that ecosystem and its own domain no longer resolves; 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
  • They diverge on capability: Imago covers Geological database, EQuIS Enterprise covers Environmental data management.
