The marks are from 1.0 (best) to 5.0 (worst)
In this study for 2001, clients gave their feedback on seven areas that directly affect them.
|
 |
 |
 |
The softwares (ABIS on top)
Abis is still in first position (marked 1.4), closely followed by ArchiCad with 1.7.
ArchiCad loses a bit of ground compared to last year, but it narrowly leads
from allplan/allplot, Nemetschek and AcadBau. AutoCad
and Microstation follow in third position with 2.0.
Pointline and Spirit achieve 2.3, a slight drop from last year.
The programs that do not have a wide distribution (too few installations)
do not allow for a reliable estimation of statistics.
We have, however, included them in this graphic, to provide some comparison.
This includes Microstation, AcadGraph, AcadMap, and Cad400
(Han Dataport).

The distributors (ABIS on top)
We note a slight improvement.
Certain products have significantly improved their position in relation to previous years.
ABIS also improved, with a mark of 1.6 and surpasses the competition, similarly to the last
two years. ArchiCad has also improved on itself. AcadMap is in third position (1.8), followed by
AutoCad.

On-line help
This segment has received very poor results.
It appears that distributors do not appear motivated on this subject. No product achieved
the best possible mark of 2.2.
Classification :
1. Allplan/allplot.
2. ArchiCad
3. AcadBau
4. AutoCad (Autodesk)
5. ABIS (Abisplan)
6. AcadMAP
(ABIS
immediately reacted and changed the situation)

Training length (ABIS on top)
ABIS leads in front of ArchiCAD. These two products have dominated this area for many years now!
|
 |
 |
 |
Workflow/exchange of data
The capacity to exchange data (plan elements and other information) with other
people involved in a project, is very important.
The DXF transfer (which historically comes from
AutoCAD) has become a standard in the BTP.
Until now, ArchiCad has dominated this domain, followed by AcadBAU, Allplan/AllPlot and
AutoCAD.
(
Version 16 rectifies the issue)

 |
 |
SAV and maintenance (ABIS on top)
ABIS, AcadMAP, Allplan/allplot are classed as equal first.
These products have always been precise in this domain. Followed by ArchiCAD,
AcadBAU. AutoCAD trails far behind and loses a lot of ground in comparison with previous years.
