Trendspek

Pros

• Unlimited users on every plan, so contractors and stakeholders can be added without per-seat fees
• Overlays and compares photogrammetry, lidar, thermal and BIM data on one 3D asset record
• Strong security credentials, with ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and SOC 2 Type II, plus SSO, MFA and private cloud options
• Large named customers report results, such as NSW Ports cutting the cost of a jetty inspection by two-thirds
• The asset owner keeps the inspection history, whichever contractor did the capture

Cons

• No public prices, so a quote requires a consultation and pilot
• Processing of new captures is billed separately from the plan
• Not a full CMMS: work orders and spare parts depend on external integrations
• Few independent user reviews are available on the major review sites
