Pros & Cons
FFARO Sphere XG
Pros
- It accepts data from FARO terrestrial and mobile scanners, from iPhone LiDAR and from 360 cameras, so mixed capture methods end up in one cloud project.
- The Stream app pre-registers Orbis scans in the field, which reduces failed registrations and repeat site visits.
- Scans are placed on floor plans and sorted by date, which suits progress documentation and dispute records.
- A SOC 2 Type 2 examination by A-LIGN covers FARO Sphere and HoloBuilder.
- Capterra reviewers give it a high average rating and mention responsive customer support.
Cons
- There is no public pricing. Every package needs a custom quote from FARO.
- It works best with FARO hardware, and third-party integrations are not well documented.
- Some reviewers say the editing layout is hard to navigate, and others say pricing could be better.
- It has no maintenance, work-order or asset-registry functions for industrial operations.
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.
