Autodesk Vault is doing a very good job in managing documents, checking in and out files, tracking all versions and revisions that are made. All of these are are done automatically so users dont need to spend time to do it. Autodesk Autocad and Autodesk Inventor are automatically updated with changes made in Autodesk Vault.

I think that there are different scenarios where the platform can be used, an example is the realization of remote consultancies, individually or in the group. In this sense, I must highlight that it is great whenever you need to work with other people while sharing information, videos, or specific content.

Usability
Autodesk
Vault is very easy to use. It works directly with Autodesk design products like Inventor, Autocad Electrical and AutoCAD, so for CAD users the workflows (check-in/check-out, version control, BOM management) feel familiar and streamlined. It's very good in managing files, revisions, and data security. All our users generally appreciate having a central repository for engineering data, as we have several offices across the globe

A great tool for the designers to monitor their work, they can track the entire the entire product development cycle from the beginning to the the design competition and if any revision or correction is required they can do it instantly, furthermore it also offers cloud based hosting service. It offers transparency by providing unique user access and login options

I think it is very important to make it clear that most of these tools compliment and complement each other rather than oppose or surpass each other. In this sense, it is important to know when to apply one or the other, in addition to taking the time to get to know them thoroughly and master their functionalities. However, the different tools that Help Lightning contain put it above most platforms used for remote conferencing.
