Version control and collaboration in project document workflows.
Alternatives in Document Control
Cloud file storage and document management layer of Microsoft 365 -- OneDrive for Business provides personal cloud storage and file sync, while SharePoint document libraries serve as shared team repositories for drawings, specifications, models, and project documentation, forming the de facto CDE backplane for AEC firms on M365.
4.6/5
Cloud productivity and file storage suite centered on Google Drive -- personal My Drive and team Shared Drives provide cloud-native file storage, sharing, and real-time collaboration on Docs, Sheets, and Slides, used by many AEC firms as a lightweight document repository and collaboration layer alongside CAD/BIM authoring tools.
4.6/5
Cloud file storage, sync, and sharing platform used by AEC firms as a project document repository for CAD, BIM, PDF, and visual content files -- with team folders, version history, large file transfers, e-signature (Dropbox Sign), video review (Dropbox Replay), and AI-powered search (Dash).
4.2/5
Open, scalable cloud platform providing REST APIs and TypeScript SDKs for developers to create digital twin applications. Enables incorporation of engineering data from design tools into living digital twins aligned with reality data across infrastructure asset lifecycles. Serves as the foundational cloud layer for all Bentley infrastructure products.
