Where each one falls short

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

IQMS

Dassault Systemes acquired the product in 2018 and renamed it, which changed the sales channel, the support relationship and the roadmap owner, so a buyer needs explicit commitments on release cadence rather than a history of independence that no longer applies.
This is a discrete and repetitive manufacturing system, not a process one, so a batch producer needing formulation, potency, catch weight or co-product handling will hit capability gaps that configuration cannot close.
The product has an on premise heritage with an underlying commercial database, so a deployment carries database licensing and administration skills as costs that sit outside the ERP quote.
Its depth is on the shop floor rather than in the office, so organisations with complex multi-entity consolidation, international statutory reporting or sophisticated financial planning needs generally find the finance side thinner than the manufacturing side.
The knowledge base is split across two product names and two eras, so searching for help returns a mixture of IQMS-era community material and current DELMIAworks documentation, and it is not always obvious which applies to your version.

TOTVS

Strongest in Brazil/Latin America; limited global brand recognition outside region
Complex implementation required for enterprise deployments
Smaller feature set compared to global players like Oracle or SAP in some areas
Language and localization primarily focused on Portuguese and Spanish

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

IQMS: Is IQMS the same as DELMIAworks?

Yes. Dassault Systemes acquired IQMS in 2018 and markets the product as DELMIAworks. The underlying application, EnterpriseIQ, is the same lineage, but contracts, support and the sales channel are now Dassault's.

TOTVS: What markets does TOTVS operate in?

TOTVS operates in 41 countries with dominant presence in Brazil (over 50% market share) and ranks among the top 3 ERP providers in Latin America.

Source

IQMS: Why choose this over an ERP plus a separate MES?

Because the interface between them is the usual failure point. One database means production status, scrap and costing agree by construction. The cost of that is a narrower product that suits a specific kind of manufacturer rather than any manufacturer.

TOTVS: When was TOTVS founded?

TOTVS (originally Microsiga) was founded in 1983 by Laércio Cosentino and Ernesto Haberkorn. The company changed its name to TOTVS in 2005.

Source

IQMS: Does it suit process or batch manufacturing?

No. It was built around discrete and repetitive production. Formulation, potency adjustment and co-product handling are the domain of process ERP and you should look at a specialist for that.

TOTVS: Is TOTVS publicly traded?

Yes. TOTVS is publicly traded as a Brazilian company, providing financial transparency and corporate governance oversight.

Source

IQMS: What should I check before buying under the current ownership?

Ask for the published release history since the acquisition, the support escalation path, who implements it in your region and whether they are Dassault staff or a partner, and what integration with the rest of the Dassault portfolio is assumed in the roadmap.

TOTVS: What ERP solutions does TOTVS offer?

TOTVS provides cloud-based ERP systems designed for small, medium, and large enterprises with integrated modules for finance, supply chain, manufacturing, sales, and human resources.

Source

TOTVS: Is TOTVS only for Brazilian companies?

No. TOTVS serves 41 countries globally, though it has strongest market penetration in Brazil and Latin America where it ranks as the largest emerging markets software firm.
