How to choose

How to choose a Accruent RedEye alternative

  1. 1

    What drives the bill

    Check whether your cost is tied to the platform, the number of users, document volume or features. RedEye lists annual prices and says charges apply for artefacts above the included amount. Compare those costs with the records and functions your team actually needs.

  2. 2

    Who owns your records

    Find out whether you can keep your records in a database you own, and what happens to drawing files, decisions and notes. In an owned version, your database holds imported rows, local decisions and notes, while drawing files remain in a controlled archive referenced by the register.

  3. 3

    Fit with your rules

    Check whether the system can reflect your fields, approval steps and handover rules, rather than making your team adapt to fixed screens. Enterprise DNA builds a version around how your business runs, including the checks and views you need.

  4. 4

    What switching involves

    Ask what can move, what needs separate checking and how you will confirm the result. RedEye provides a metadata export through its Bulk CSV Tool. Current drawing records can be mapped for review, while native files, historical revisions and approval signatures need a separately checked archive migration.

The option that fits

Own a version shaped around your business

Enterprise DNA builds your drawing register around your records, rules and fields, then brings your Accruent RedEye data across and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own, with no per-seat plans. You pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you want to manage it yourself, there is also a free version. The owned option suits you when you want a version fitted to your business, not a standard product you have to work around.

Questions

Accruent RedEye alternatives, answered

Does the free alternative cover everything we use in RedEye? expand_more

No. The free version covers the drawing register, revision reviews and handover desk. Enterprise DNA can scope drawing viewing, mobile markup, archive connections and other features you need into your custom version. Agree the required scope before you switch.

Can we move our RedEye drawing records across? expand_more

RedEye provides a metadata export through its Bulk CSV Tool. Enterprise DNA maps your configured field labels and brings current drawing records across for review. Native files, historical revisions and approval signatures need a separately checked archive migration. Keep your existing system until the required history and workflows have been reconciled.

Will an owned version work for our team and approval steps? expand_more

Enterprise DNA can set up a shared database, team access, archive controls and screens for the roles you need. The version can reflect your review and handover processes. The starting version also works for an operator managing the drawing desk, with team workflows, backup and recovery tested before operational use.
