[Anonymous]

What is the difference between all BIM 360 Product? like BIM 360 Glue, BIM 360 Field, BIM 360 DOCS, BIM 360 TEAM, BIM 360 PLAN.....

If they focus on different area, like design, construction, document, for example, how to integrate all these functions ?

Hello,

Thanks for posting  your question. Joan Allen did a great job explaining this a while back. Take a look at the following link for more details. 

Difference between A360 and BIM 360 Glue:

Note that A360 Team, is now BIM 360 Team.

Hope this helps and have a great day.

BIM 360 is not a product. BIM 360 is a platform where we host services like BIM 360 Design, Build, Glue and other services to better deliver projects.

@angiizzi You are comparing benefits, not features.

Your marketing department is extremely nebulous about the feature differences. We don't buy benefits, we buy features. Benefits are just a way for marketing to interest us in the products without really telling us how it works.

Spot on!

I find it extremely difficult finding ANY concrete information on what the BIM 360 products actually can...

These are benefits, not features or access per se.  I think what users are wanting is a breakdown of what's included in one product vs the other as well as what license do I need for reviewing data vs. uploading or downloading.  For instance, if I have a BIM Design license and the Architect has BIM 360 Project Management, what happens if they send me a submittal?  Do I need a license of Project Management to view the submittal or respond to it?  I think a relevant matrix of what can be viewed vs changed in what module would be helpful.  I have yet to see something that is very clear and precise.  It is acknowledged that this is a moving target as the features are updated and new modules being added.

I'm sure most execs don't even know what's the difference between their many products. This is a tangle of meaningless corporate cliché words. The worst is that you get a thousand usernames and passwords and links and folders to remember. Every 6 months they change the website and the way to access your files and it's a total mess. The don't update their HELP files accordingly so you end up contacting Support, which is probably the best department Autodesk has.
