Now Dassault Systèmes-owned. Legacy COBOL core still present.
COBOL legacy core confirmed under Dassault ownership — SI (systems integrator)-required, no public pricing, and limited modernization path. Best suited for plastics/injection molding and high-volume automotive Tier 1/2 where vertical depth justifies the implementation cost.
AI score breakdown — 6 dimensions
SMB implementability 25%40
SI-required, 6–12 month implementation. Legacy COBOL core adds significant configuration complexity that no UI rebrand resolves.
Purpose fit 20%80
Purpose-built for plastics, injection molding, and automotive — strong shop floor and quality features for high-volume discrete production. Genuine vertical depth.
Tech modernity 20%30
COBOL legacy core confirmed under Dassault Systèmes ownership. Significant technical debt, limited modernization path visible in public roadmap.
Documentation quality 15%45
Documentation largely gated. Dassault acquisition has not improved public-facing transparency. Pre-sales technical resources minimal.
Real user sentiment 10%55
Pre-acquisition reviews were more positive. Post-Dassault reviews increasingly note product direction uncertainty and enterprise pricing model concerns.
TCO transparency 10%30
No public pricing. Dassault enterprise pricing model applies. Total cost requires partner engagement.
