Platform Overview
Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC)
ACC is a cloud-based platform designed for construction project management. It provides tools for team collaboration, document management, and project coordination. It is particularly useful for companies working with Revit, Civil 3D, and Navisworks, offering an integrated environment for design and construction.
HiveDrive
HiveDrive is a decentralized solution for BIM project management. Using DLT and peer-to-peer technology, it ensures greater security and control over data. The ability to install on-premise makes it ideal for organizations looking to avoid cloud vendor dependency. Additionally, its built-in IFC viewer allows users to access BIM models without proprietary software.
Conclusion
The choice between ACC and HiveDrive depends on project requirements. If you need a centralized solution with Autodesk tool integration, ACC is a solid option. If you prefer a decentralized, secure, and flexible system, HiveDrive might be the better choice.
