ROCK Cloud
Pros
- Every plan includes all processing and analysis tools, and projects and sharing are unlimited.

- Clients can be sent branded portals and share links.
- Optional human-checked deliverables include vegetation encroachment reports for power line corridors.
Cons
- Billing is annual only, with no monthly option.

Cons
- It runs only on Windows and needs MicroStation or Spatix as a host.
- A complete workflow usually means buying several separately priced modules.
- Review sites such as Slashdot and SourceForge show no user reviews.
- There is no cloud or web version for collaboration.
