Situational
2.8/5

Cloud-connected geotechnical data management and reporting platform for the full ground investigation lifecycle -- borehole logs, laboratory test data, field sensor readings, and AGS-compliant data exchange, with mobile data entry, configurable report templates, and secure cloud-based collaboration serving engineering consultants, departments of transportation, and federal agencies.

C1 2/5 reflects subscription pricing without published list figures, and C2 3/5 reflects the documented REST API and API-based custom integration on the cloud-hosted platform. C4 4/5 reflects AGS and CSV exchange with PDF export, and C5 2/5 reflects Leapfrog Works, PLAXIS, GeoStudio, AGS, and Bentley iTwin Platform integration.

Situational
2.4/5

Comprehensive geotechnical analysis software suite covering slope stability (Slide2/Slide3), finite element analysis (RS2/RS3), settlement and foundation design (Settle3, RSPile), tunneling and excavation (RocTunnel3, EX3), rockfall hazard analysis (RocFall2/RocFall3), and data management (RSLog) -- serving civil, mining, and geotechnical engineers worldwide.

C1 4/5 reflects public entry pricing from $649 per seat per year plus a 15-day trial, while C4 3/5 reflects DXF, CSV, DWG, and GIS exchange. C2 1/5 is capped by RF2 because the suite has no documented API, CLI, or scripting surface.

Situational
2.4/5

Finite element analysis software suite for 2D and 3D geotechnical deformation and stability analysis of soil and rock, including groundwater flow, heat flow, soil-structure interaction, dynamics, and earthquake/seismic analysis -- with PLAXIS 2D, PLAXIS 3D, and PLAXIS Monopile Designer product lines, serving geotechnical engineers on civil infrastructure, tunnelling, and offshore foundation projects worldwide.

C1 2/5 reflects subscription pricing without published list figures, and RF2 keeps C2 2/5 because automation is limited to local Python scripting rather than a public API or CLI. C4 3/5 reflects DXF, DWG, and CSV exchange, and C5 3/5 reflects Leapfrog Works, GeoStudio, AutoCAD, and Revit connections.

Situational
2.4/5

Suite of geotechnical engineering software for deep excavation shoring design (DeepEX 2D/3D), deep foundation pile design (DeepFND, HelixPile), retaining wall design (RetainEX, SnailPlus), quay wall design (QuayWalls), inclinometer monitoring (SiteMaster), and borehole soil estimation (GeoBase) -- serving geotechnical engineers, shoring contractors, and transportation agencies globally since 2000.

C1 4/5 reflects published annual pricing from USD 950 to USD 14,950 plus a trial, and RF2 keeps C2 1/5 because the desktop suite has no documented API, CLI, or scripting surface. C4 3/5 reflects DXF, DWG, and CSV exchange, and C3 2/5 reflects specialist onboarding across shoring, foundation, retaining-wall, and monitoring modules.

Situational
2.2/5

3D ground modelling software for civil and environmental projects that builds categorical and numerical subsurface models from site investigation and boring data using implicit modelling technology -- enabling geotechnical engineers to visualise, understand, and communicate subsurface risk through 3D models, cross sections, and ground models integrated with engineering design and BIM workflows.

C1 2/5 reflects subscription pricing without published list figures, and RF2 keeps C2 1/5 because automation is limited to local Python scripting rather than a public API or CLI. C4 3/5 reflects CSV, DXF, DWG, and AGS workflows, and C5 3/5 reflects OpenGround, PLAXIS, GeoStudio, AutoCAD, Revit, and Bentley iTwin Platform integration.

Situational
2.0/5

Geotechnical numerical analysis software suite for 2D and 3D slope stability (limit equilibrium and finite element), steady-state and transient groundwater flow, stress-strain analysis, and heat and mass transfer simulation -- with GeoStudio 2D, GeoStudio 3D, and GeoStudio Flow product lines, serving geotechnical engineers in mining, civil infrastructure, dams, and environmental projects for over 40 years.

C1 2/5 reflects subscription pricing without published list figures, and C3 2/5 reflects specialist desktop onboarding across slope stability, groundwater, and stress-strain analysis workflows. RF2 keeps C2 1/5 because no public API, CLI, or scripting surface is documented, and C4 3/5 reflects DXF exchange while C5 2/5 reflects Leapfrog Works and PLAXIS integration.
