Sphere XG vs. Newforma

FARO Sphere XG is the cloud platform from FARO INSIGHT® that keeps all your reality capture data in one place: 360° photos, 3D point clouds, and 3D/BIM models. Teams can view, measure, compare, and share project data from anywhere, so everyone works from the same current picture of the site. Capture is flexible. Document a whole site with an off-the-shelf 360° camera and the JobWalk app, straight into Sphere XG. Scan quickly with Rovi i.1, FARO’s entry-level mobile SLAM scanner, or with the SiteScape™ and Stream mobile apps.

Newforma is project information management (PIM) software for the architecture, engineering, construction, and owner (AECO) industry. It connects the emails, instant messages, files, drawings, models, issues and contract documents spread across a project team's systems and makes them accessible in one searchable project record. Teams use Newforma to run construction administration workflows, control documents, coordinate BIM issues, while showing creating a complete audit log of who knew what and when.
