AutoCAD Web vs. B2W Maintain

AutoCAD 360 has multiple functionalities that adapt to circumstantial conditions. It has a focus on available tools at all times and deserves to be updated to be at the forefront of technological platforms. It is very useful in some aspects of functionality to have access to less dense and capable tools to develop environments and improve visualization.

We use the full suite of features in Maintain as it covers most of our needs, it is nice to have most of your data in one system, much easier to manage. We use telematics from third parties and even though we use the Parts/Inventory/Purchasing we sometimes need to go through the vendor portal to order but for the most part those work well most of the time, very little issues or minor ones at that. We can manage our shop/fleet/mechanic departments through this one program for the most part and users adapt to it very quickly.

• Allows our entire design team to share and review information graphically in one location (cloud-based).
• Has the capability to fluidly interact with many other Autodesk software products.
• Being able to use AutoCAD 360 on the iPad is a great feature without having to install the software.

Incentivized

• Automatic Scheduling of Maintenance through Programs
• Other users can submit requests through track
• Telematics plug-ins help keep track of hours/mileage
• GPS location to track equipment

• It'd be nice to be able to use AutoCAD 360 to leave comments on peoples files, such as being able to annotate a certain part of it and mark it for review, so then its author can look at the note and make necessary changes.

Incentivized

• Viewpoint Vista sync limits level of detail exchanged between systems
• Telematics import occasionally missed some readings
• Dashboards could be easier for common end user to configure

This is so useful so we would like to keep renewing as Autocad 360 does. In fact we are very optimistic about the tools that come in every renewal because we will then have even more features available.

Very easy for users to learn the system. The interface is easy to navigate. Contains fields for all the info we want to capture. Very little bugs occur and maintenance is low. Available on mobile (tablet/phone). Doesn't take long to perform most functions. Configuration isn't difficult except for when integrating with third parties for telematics and other data transfer. Aside from those few integrations, it performs most of the functions we need within the program.

Although there are lots of alternatives to AutoCAD mobile on the Google play store and the app store, many of these alternatives are not professionally developed and are associated with shady developers. So there might be a privacy or security risk with the usage these alternatives. However, DWG FastView is a worthy competing alternative.

B2W Maintain is the only program we used day-to-day to manage our fleet. We also have Viewpoint Vista but it isn't really used for equipment other than to track the financials (purchase, sale, depreciation, taxes, etc.). Vista does have features for fleet management but they aren't as good our easy to use as B2W Maintain and it isn't close. Vista as a whole is an older program (getting retired 1/1/2027) without a web interface or easy to use user interface, it doesn't really compare, but it is what we we use for accounting so equipment records need to be stored there. I would never use Vista to actually actively manage the fleet and shops.

Incentivized

• ROI is a bit low, because a lot of people are moving to Revit and BIM 360.
• Not all consultants use CAD so it makes it hard for compatibility.

Incentivized

• Regular maintenance is scheduled before a problem occurs
• Items are easily created and prioritized for the shop
• Mechanic hours (work orders assigned) can be easily managed
