Kisters 3DViewStation is the better choice for large industrial organisations with enterprise requirements: DMU (Digital Mock-Up) for assemblies of several million parts, integrated PLM data management (Teamcenter, SAP), precision measurement on native CAD, and on-premise deployment mandated by IT.
