Performance of Smallworld Across Market Features

Smallworld Likes & Dislikes

Like

The way the Smallworld solution can version and manage project versions is a major highlight of this solution.

Like

I like its compact structure and robust adherence to electrical standards

Dislike

It does not have a wide range of APIs for integration with other systems, competing solutions offers more APIs, especially with SAP solutions.

Dislike

I find implementation and customizations to be quite challanging
