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

IQMS

  • IQMS is now sold as DELMIAWorks under Dassault Systemes, and neither name appears on UK G-Cloud, AWS Marketplace or GSA Advantage, so no per unit figure is published on any public procurement catalogue

Visibility

  • No price, licensing model, minimum or contract term is published on the site; buyers are directed to a sales email and phone number
  • The vendor states an implementation of 4 to 6 months, so the product is not usable immediately after purchase
  • The product targets make to order, engineer to order and job shop manufacturers rather than general business use
