Where each one falls short

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

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.

Deswik Suite

  • Deswik publishes no price, no licence term and no cost driver for the suite; the only routes given are a demo request or contacting the company
  • The suite is sold as separate modules grouped under Design and Reserving, Planning, Operations and Mine to Market, so a full workflow requires buying several products
  • Software downloads and support are gated behind a client portal available to existing customers
  • The product formerly sold as Deswik.CAD is now named Deswik Spatial, so older documentation and job listings refer to a name the vendor no longer uses
