The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 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.; 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: Sensemore covers Wireless vibration 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.

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.

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.

Does Sensemore or TrendMiner run on more platforms?
Sensemore runs on Web, iOS, Android. TrendMiner runs on Web, Windows, Linux.
What is Sensemore best used for?
Sensemore is most often used for a cement plant that wants coverage across the whole motor fleet rather than only the critical shortlist, a mid-market manufacturer where the western vendors quotes exceed the maintenance budget entirely, an integrator packaging condition monitoring into a broader plant automation project, a water utility instrumenting remote pumping stations where sending a technician to take readings is the main cost. Of those, a cement plant that wants coverage across the whole motor fleet rather than only the critical shortlist and a mid-market manufacturer where the western vendors quotes exceed the maintenance budget entirely are not what TrendMiner is typically brought in for.
What can Sensemore do that TrendMiner cannot?
Sensemore covers Wireless vibration sensors, Handheld analyser, Cloud platform, Multi-sensor synchronisation. TrendMiner covers Pattern search, Value-based search, Monitors, Soft sensors. Both handle Machine learning models.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Sensemore: Where is Sensemore based?

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

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.

Sensemore: Is pricing published?

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

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.

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.

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.

Sensemore: Can I get the raw data out?

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

TrendMiner: Is pricing per user?

Yes, largely, with tiers for analyst and view-only access plus charges for historian connectors and data volume.
