Now, just one year after nexus, 365 is claiming to be about connecting data to manufacturing. The complete gush of slick meaningless marketing vomit that accompanied its release made me completely turn off. And I still have no idea if it's offering anything more than vault does/did. or some less stuff and some additional other stuff maybe? I still have no idea if that's SaaS or a server product. and seemed to me from what little I saw of it, to be sort of like vault but with less stuff. Then they released Nexus this year, which seems to be marketed as "a way to help teams work together". Unfortunately the biggest problem was their pricing model that only made it remotely viable for large teams in big businesses. it started as SaaS, then that got killed when all the conservative engineers in the industry had heart attacks about that, and it became a windows server application you had to buy and configure and manage yourself. Vault was all about helping teams work together and providing unified controlled data to manufacturing. it seems like they're actually taking the piss here. but it seems to me that finally they have hit the point where I'm completely confused about what the point of all this stuff even is now. And you know what? I've been pretty OK with them making add-ons for extra functionality on the main altium designer product, even if it's paid for with base altium subscriptions and then unavailable to base altium subscribers. So I just burned my lunchtime watching a video about altium 365.
