Search-driven time series analytics for process engineers, now owned by Proemion rather than Software AG

The short version
- Each has a real cost: Augury the per-machine annual fee never stops, so over a five to eight year horizon the total exceeds buying sensors and software outright and running the programme yourself.; TrendMiner ownership moved from Software AG to Proemion in a 47 million euro sale during the Silver Lake break-up, so the integration roadmap tied to webMethods and Cumulocity is gone and the new owner is far smaller.
- They diverge on capability: Augury covers Halo sensors, TrendMiner covers Pattern search.
- 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.
Augury
- The per-machine annual fee never stops, so over a five to eight year horizon the total exceeds buying sensors and software outright and running the programme yourself.
- Coverage is aimed at standard rotating equipment; reciprocating compressors, very low-speed machinery and non-rotating assets are poorly served, so you still need a second monitoring approach.
- Diagnoses depend on Augurys analysts, which means the quality of your programme is set by a vendor queue you do not control and turnaround is not something you can escalate internally.
- The sensors and the analytics are one system, so leaving Augury means removing the hardware and starting again; there is no path to keep the sensors and change the software.
- Pricing is unpublished and negotiated per fleet, so buyers have no benchmark and comparable plants can pay materially different per-machine rates.
TrendMiner
- Ownership moved from Software AG to Proemion in a 47 million euro sale during the Silver Lake break-up, so the integration roadmap tied to webMethods and Cumulocity is gone and the new owner is far smaller.
- It is built for continuous time series and handles discrete manufacturing, relational quality data and event-driven production poorly, so plants that are not continuous process get limited value.
- Value depends entirely on historian data quality and tag naming; sites with inconsistent tag descriptions and missing asset context spend months on data preparation before the search features are usable.
- Licensing is by named analyst user, and the population who genuinely use pattern search is small, so organisations that buy broadly pay for seats that log in occasionally.
- It reads history but does not fix it: there is no data collection layer, so an existing historian is mandatory and TrendMiner is always an additional cost on top of it.

Questions people ask
- Is Augury or TrendMiner better?
- Neither clearly leads. Augury starts at On request and TrendMiner at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
- Which is cheaper, Augury or TrendMiner?
- Augury starts at On request and TrendMiner at On request.
- Does Augury or TrendMiner run on more platforms?
- Augury runs on Web, iOS, Android. TrendMiner runs on Web, Windows, Linux.
- What is Augury best used for?
- Augury is most often used for a food plant with 200 similar motors and pumps and no vibration analyst on staff, a multi-site manufacturer that needs one reliability picture across plants without standardising their maintenance teams, an operator whose capex budget will not approve sensor hardware but whose opex budget will approve a service, a site trying to move from calendar-based motor overhauls to condition-based intervals with defensible evidence. Of those, a food plant with 200 similar motors and pumps and no vibration analyst on staff and a multi-site manufacturer that needs one reliability picture across plants without standardising their maintenance teams are not what TrendMiner is typically brought in for.
- What can Augury do that TrendMiner cannot?
- Augury covers Halo sensors, Diagnostics as a Service, Named fault diagnosis, Process Health. TrendMiner covers Pattern search, Value-based search, Monitors, Soft sensors.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Augury: Do I buy the sensors?
No. Sensors, gateways, connectivity and installation are included in the per-machine annual fee.
TrendMiner: Who owns TrendMiner now?
Proemion, a German industrial analytics company backed by Battery Ventures, which bought it from Software AG for 47 million euros in 2024.
Augury: Is there a per-user licence?
No. The web application allows unlimited users; the meter is monitored machines.
TrendMiner: Does it replace my historian?
No. It connects to PI, IP.21, PHD, Exaquantum and others and reads from them. The historian remains the system of record.
Augury: Who does the diagnosis?
Machine-learning models flag issues and Augury vibration analysts review them before a finding is released to you.
TrendMiner: Do I need a data scientist to use it?
No, and that is the point. The pattern search and soft sensor tooling are aimed at process engineers with no coding background.
Augury: What happens if we cancel?
The sensors are part of the service and monitoring stops; you do not retain a usable standalone system.
TrendMiner: Is pricing per user?
Yes, largely, with tiers for analyst and view-only access plus charges for historian connectors and data volume.
