LeanCOST vs. SiliconExpert

We've involved LeanCOST in all our cost estimation process. Generally it speed up the estimation and cost of manufacturing time and costs starting at the design level. I like how it seamlessly integrates with most commercial 3D CAD system and automatically determines the manufacturing processes. Overall it's a great cost estimator and robust.

Well Suited scenario is we do not have to rely on numerous experts having vast horizon of industrial expertise to estimate the products and services. We have this AL/ML solution in place which can look after us without much interaction or manual support. Not well-suited scenarios are: If any service or product can have a complex structure, a hyper metadata set needs to be generalized before estimation with the inputs from the open-source platform data so in this case estimation process need a lot of interventions, customization and still, we get a large deviation. That is not a good thing for any business to work on. We might end up with an entirely different cost than one which is estimated from this software.

• I like how LeanCOST simulate production times and costs of different scenarios.
• The customer support is great and willing to offer support any time any day.
• Helps to identify the best production strategy according to quantity and machinery available.
• I also like it helps you improve early visibility into manufacturing costs.

• I appreciate how the products are created and adjusted. For diverse enterprises, there is a simple interface and ease. Reports and exports for a set of BOMs are additional useful features.
• Easy to learn.
• UI is neat & clean.

• This is kinda not a dislike but for the new users it needs some training.
• The Dashboard is a bit crunky and need some improvements.

• Maybe put a little more investment into the UI of the software.
• More customizable dashboards.

I like how LeanCOST greatly reduces the amount required for manual input and allows cost estimators to respond quickly to our customers RFQS. It allows us to choose the technologies that will be used during the manufacturing processes. It also allows us to select the most cost-effective strategies by simulating manufacturing costs based upon the machine availability, quality, and technological feasibility.

SiliconExpert has wide variety o supports and suggestions which are required in each and every step of the product development lifecycle. So it's a complete solution to bring support for the entire product lifecycle and a relief to us. Managing, tracking, generalizing reports, generating, and sending timely alerts are some of the beautiful features which stack up to make SiliconExpert a best choice.
