Likelihood to Recommend
Altair Engineering, Inc.
Engineering firms and companies with needs for multiple disciplines of analysis capabilities on a regular basis will benefit from HyperWorks. Companies with short term engineering needs (less than 6 months) or who only need a particular analysis/simulation discipline may be better off using a consultant (who likely uses HyperWorks).

OpenBOM
OpenBOM is well suited for users who require the ability to have a "structured sandbox" when it comes to part, BOM, and vendor management. By having this structure, it allows for consistent capturing of key information, in a structured way, while also being dynamic where approved users can modify the information without too much overhead. We're using it for a medical device.

Cons
Altair Engineering, Inc.
  • User interface is improving, but not always intuitive; varies across tools
  • Steep learning curve
  • Cost may be out of reach for some, but relatively inexpensive if you need all the tools it includes (vs. paying for each tool individually)

OpenBOM
  • Consistent log-off/ log-ins required (despite saying stay logged in)
  • Default "custom use" of fields (vs. requiring the user to check this each time a new parameter is selected).

Return on Investment
Altair Engineering, Inc.
  • An all in one solution keeps costs down if you need multiple analysis capabilities (FEA, CFD, MBD, etc.)
  • Analysis work supports our other engineering/design work we wouldn't otherwise receive
  • Fast and efficient solvers leads to higher throughput

OpenBOM
  • We are yet to establish the ROI at a given subscription tier and compare it to other similar-priced solutions.
