What people compare gINT with
Bentley’s Australian store lists gINT Professional from AU$3,360 and Professional Plus from AU$4,675 per user for 12 months. Owners look for a gINT alternative because Bentley says it is being retired in favour of OpenGround.

How to choose a gINT alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Check whether you pay for each person, the cloud service, or both. Bentley’s published prices show gINT and OpenGround costs tied to users, with OpenGround also charging for its cloud service. Count the seats your business needs and the service charges before comparing options.

Who owns your records
Your projects include boreholes, logs and lab results your clients paid for. Ask where those records sit and whether you can keep them in a database your business owns, rather than moving them from one vendor system to another on someone else’s timetable.

Fit with your working rules
Check whether the system suits your fields, reports and working practices. Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it runs. That can include the records and checks your team uses, rather than asking you to fit your work around a standard product.

What switching involves
gINT exports AGS4 data, including locations, strata, SPTs, samples and lab results. Some details, such as who logged and checked each log, are not in AGS4 and need adding as part of the switch. Ask what comes across and what needs to be added.

Questions
gINT alternatives, answered
What happens to our gINT records if we switch? expand_more
gINT exports AGS4 data, including locations, strata, SPTs, shear vanes, samples, water strikes and lab results. Who logged and checked each log, and services dates, are not in AGS4. Enterprise DNA adds those details as part of the switch.
Can we still produce borehole logs? expand_more
The free version prints a clean borehole log for every borehole, test pit and hand auger, with your name and logo. It also provides a factual summary for each project. Enterprise DNA can build graphic logs with columns and hatching in your house layout into your version.
Will it suit work in New Zealand and Australia? expand_more
Each project carries its country, coordinate system and height datum. The lab method follows the country, with NZS 4402 in New Zealand and AS 1289 in Australia. Checks follow the NZGS field description guideline and AS 1726-2017.
How do the free and built versions cost? expand_more
The free version has no licence fee, though hosting and agent subscriptions cost what they cost. Enterprise DNA’s built version has one setup fee, then a monthly retainer for the agreed work. Its scope is set after reviewing your current system, labs and reports.
