Pros & Cons
Inspectivity
Pros
- The no-code form builder lets teams build their own inspection templates with measurements, text fields and photos, with no developer needed.
- The mobile app works offline, which suits remote mine and energy sites.
- The company holds ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications, and Enterprise offers single-tenant hosting.
- A 14-day free trial needs no credit card, and Essentials starts at AUD 75 per month.
Cons
- API, SSO and BI integration are only available on the Enterprise plan.
- Essentials is tightly capped at one project, 1,000 items and three templates.
- There are few independent reviews to judge it by.
- It is not a full CMMS, and spare parts and maintenance scheduling are not clearly offered.
YellowScan CloudStation
Pros
- Floating licenses let a team install the software on as many computers as it needs
- Data can be checked for coverage and quality in the field right after a flight
- Strip adjustment with GCPs comes with a report, which helps with survey QA
- Exports cover the usual survey deliverables: LAS, GeoTIFF DTM, DSM and DHM, SHP, KML, and DXF
- The Ultimate bundle adds command-line batch processing for server workflows
- The vendor says it ships new releases about every three weeks
Cons
- No public pricing, so buyers must request a quote
- It is tied to YellowScan sensor data and is not a general processor for other LiDAR systems
- It runs on the desktop only, despite the cloud in its name
- I found no independent user reviews on major review sites
- Orthophoto generation and batch processing are only in the top bundle
