Likelihood to Recommend	PTC Definetely when needing an image target based AR experience, I'd go with Vuforia Engine, the implementation is pretty straightforward (at least when using UNITY SDK), it is well documented and there are plenty of examples to start with. I wouldn't recommend it yet for tracking objects or environments if it is for commercial purposes, because it tends to fail from time to time from my experience. Incentivized Eduardo Arroyo Game developer Read full review	PTC Best suited for: - Team of remote support is a great visual way to address technical issues; Especially when talking about production environments. - Team of Project developers, a great tool to do tests remotely when multiple people from the customer need to connect, Vuforia Chalk support group calls and differentiates each person based on the color of annotations. Less suited for: - IT teams, which its support is mainly focused on SW issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	PTC No answers on this topic	PTC Remote support for technical issues in the factory environment. Remote support for Factory Acceptance Tests, when traveling is not possible. Remote support for issues in the industry, when traveling is not possible. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	PTC Performance when using unity (the device heats up). Image marker works fine but surface detection tends to fail still. Even though there's a free plan, there are many alternatives now where they cost less or they're even free. Incentivized Eduardo Arroyo Game developer Read full review	PTC Web-version used to be a bit limited, in terms of users and features. Is on the roadmap to improve in future versions No subscription version limited to 3 minutes calls. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	PTC No answers on this topic	PTC Savings in mobility (traveling) when performing determined Factory Acceptance Tests. Customers like the possibility of engaging in Augmented Reality Solutions. Remote support is faster and easier, with a visual tool to see and do annotations in the screen.
