The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; Yonyou no pricing is published anywhere on the site for any of its three tiered products (YonBIP, YonSuite, Chanjet); the only path to cost is a phone sales line or a contact form for a custom quote and demo

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.

Yonyou

  • No pricing is published anywhere on the site for any of its three tiered products (YonBIP, YonSuite, Chanjet); the only path to cost is a phone sales line or a contact form for a custom quote and demo
  • Product selection depends on company size tier (large enterprise, growth stage, small/micro) rather than a single scalable plan, so buyers must first identify which of the three separately branded products applies to them

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.

Yonyou: How much does Yonyou cost?

Yonyou does not publish pricing on its website. Contact sales at 4006-600-577 or use the contact form to request pricing. The company offers tailored solutions for large enterprises, growing companies, and small businesses.

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.

Yonyou: What ERP solutions does Yonyou offer?

Yonyou offers YonBIP for large enterprises, YonSuite for mid-market SaaS applications, and Chanjet for small and micro enterprises. All integrate AI, data, and process capabilities.

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.

Yonyou: How long has Yonyou been in business?

Yonyou has 38 years of market presence in the Asia-Pacific region and positions itself as globally leading in ERP solutions.

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.
