The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AVEVA System Platform wonderware is no longer a name you can buy; if you have inherited documentation, purchase orders or job specifications that say Wonderware, everything has to be re-mapped to AVEVA product names before you can quote it.; Sensemore the company is small and young, so the failure-mode library behind its models is built on a much narrower installed base than SKF or Augury can draw on, and diagnostic specificity reflects that.
  • They diverge on capability: AVEVA System Platform covers ArchestrA object model, Sensemore covers Wireless vibration sensors.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

AVEVA System Platform

  • Wonderware is no longer a name you can buy; if you have inherited documentation, purchase orders or job specifications that say Wonderware, everything has to be re-mapped to AVEVA product names before you can quote it.
  • AVEVA Flex converts licensing to a recurring subscription draw-down, so organisations that budgeted for a perpetual licence with a support percentage face a materially different cost model at renewal.
  • It is Windows only, and version compatibility between System Platform, Historian and InTouch is tight, so upgrades are coordinated projects rather than incremental patches.
  • The ArchestrA object model has a steep learning curve and small systems end up paying for structure they do not need, which is why integrators often deploy standalone InTouch instead.
  • Licence enforcement counts I/O aggressively and unexpected tag growth during commissioning can trigger a mid-project licence purchase at list price.

Sensemore

  • The company is small and young, so the failure-mode library behind its models is built on a much narrower installed base than SKF or Augury can draw on, and diagnostic specificity reflects that.
  • Support and spares are largely delivered through distributors, so response quality varies by country and buyers outside Turkey and the immediate region should verify local coverage before ordering.
  • Pricing is not published and routes through integrators, which means the software cost is often bundled into a project price you cannot decompose.
  • Long-term vendor viability is an open question for a venture-stage hardware company, and a sensor network is a ten-year commitment; an exit or wind-down would strand the installed hardware.
  • Documentation and the analytics user interface are thinner than established competitors, so teams without vibration expertise get less guidance in interpreting what the platform flags.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AVEVA System Platform: Is Wonderware still sold?

No. The brand was retired; buy AVEVA System Platform, AVEVA InTouch HMI, AVEVA Historian or AVEVA Plant SCADA instead.

Sensemore: Where is Sensemore based?

Istanbul, Turkey. It designs and manufactures its own sensing hardware.

AVEVA System Platform: Can I still buy a perpetual licence?

AVEVA steers new business to Flex subscriptions. Perpetual is increasingly restricted to existing agreements and renewals.

Sensemore: Is pricing published?

No. Hardware and platform are quoted, usually through a distributor or system integrator.

AVEVA System Platform: Do my old InTouch applications still run?

Yes, legacy InTouch applications are supported in System Platform, though the older graphics do not gain the newer situational-awareness features without rework.

Sensemore: How does it compare on cost?

It is positioned below the established Western condition monitoring vendors, which is the reason most buyers evaluate it.

AVEVA System Platform: What is AVEVA Flex?

A subscription credit pool you draw against for any AVEVA product, which trades a fixed licence for a recurring balance you must keep topped up.

Sensemore: Can I get the raw data out?

Yes, there is a REST API and MQTT support for pulling measurements into other systems.
