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; MineRP minerp.com 301 redirects to epiroc.com's mine planning product line, confirming MineRP was absorbed into Epiroc; the product is no longer sold as an independently branded platform and buyers must now evaluate it inside Epiroc's mining portfolio.
  • They diverge on capability: Imago covers Geological database, MineRP covers Resource planning.

Where each one falls short

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

Imago

  • Now a Seequent product rather than an independent one, so it sits inside that ecosystem and its own domain no longer resolves
  • Capturing images at quality expects the Capture X software driving a camera rig, so it is not purely a software purchase

MineRP

  • minerp.com 301 redirects to epiroc.com's mine planning product line, confirming MineRP was absorbed into Epiroc; the product is no longer sold as an independently branded platform and buyers must now evaluate it inside Epiroc's mining portfolio.
