echo3D vs Orangelogic
Choosing the Best Digital Asset Management Platform (DAM) for 3D Content
Partnered with the best
Why choose echo3D over AVAIL?
The Critical Difference.
AVAIL is a desktop-tethered file indexer. It requires you to install a Windows application on every machine, relies on your local network, and forces you to connect to their public SaaS for user management.
echo3D is a cloud-native 3D Digital Asset management (DAM) platform. It lives in the browser, works on any OS (Mac, Mobile, PC, Linux), and offers total deployment freedom—from public SaaS to fully air-gapped local cloud and on-premise servers.
Stop "Indexing" Files. Start Managing Assets.
AVAIL is built for the legacy AEC workflow: indexing local folders on a Windows server.
echo3D is built for the future of 3D: optimizing, securing, and streaming content to any device.
- - Zero Install Friction: No IT tickets to install desktop apps. Send a link, and your team is working.
- - Real 3D Optimization: AVAIL stores heavy files "as-is." echo3D automatically compresses and converts them (e.g., OBJ to USDZ) for mobile and web use.
- - Data Sovereignty: With echo3D's local cloud and on-prem options, your intellectual property never leaves your defined security perimeter.
AVAIL experience
You see a generic file icon or a static thumbnail. To view it, you have to download it. To convert it, you need external software.
echo3D experience
You see the model instantly. You rotate it. You view it in AR. You stream it directly to your game or app.
Deployment & Security: Your Cloud, Your Rules
Security isn't one-size-fits-all. AVAIL forces you into their hybrid model. echo3D adapts to your infrastructure.
❌ The AVAIL Limitation
- - No On-Premise Core: AVAIL’s management layer (the "brain" that handles users and analytics) lives on their public cloud. You cannot self-host the full platform.
- Windows-Only: AVAIL requires a Windows Desktop application to function. It does not work on Linux servers or Mac workstations.
- No "Local Cloud": You cannot deploy the AVAIL backend into your own private AWS or Azure environment.
- - True On-Premise: Deploy echo3D entirely on your own servers (Red Hat / Linux certified). Perfect for defense, healthcare, and enterprise security.
- Private/Local Cloud: Host the echo3D platform inside your own private cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP). You own the data and the infrastructure.
- Air-Gapped Capable: Need to run offline? echo3D can function without an external internet connection.
