Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Vulcan
- Neither the Vulcan product page nor the Maptek store page shows a price, a licence term or a subscription length
- Vulcan is a base product extended by nine paid add on modules covering geology and estimation, open pit design, underground design, scheduling, grade control and geotechnics, so the entry licence does not cover a full workflow
- Buying requires going through the Maptek store or contacting Maptek directly for a quote
Cority EHS
- Cority publishes no price: the platform page shows no rate, no per user fee and no minimum, and offers no self service quote tool
- The platform is divided into separate modules and solution sets for environmental, health, safety, sustainability and quality, so scope determines cost rather than a list price
- Capabilities such as learning management, document control and mobile EHS are listed as distinct modules rather than included in one product
