Detailed Review
Asite is a London common data environment that has been running since 2001, which makes it one of the older independent CDEs still competing directly with Thinkproject rather than having been folded into it. Documents, drawings, BIM models and workflow approvals sit in one controlled environment across every organisation on a project, with 3D Repo providing a lightweight model viewer as an add-on rather than a separate purchase.
What sets Asite apart from Thinkproject in this grid is the Marketplace module: a supplier-procurement and product-catalogue layer bolted onto the document environment, so sourcing and specification can run through the same system as the drawings they reference. Pricing is published rather than quote-only — Common Data Environment access from $70 per user per month, Asite 3D Repo from $50, and Marketplace from $850 a month — which is unusual transparency for an enterprise CDE.
Asite Solutions Limited is registered in London and majority-owned by its own UK holding company, Asite Limited, rather than by an outside group. Prices are quoted in dollars first with other currency conversions offered alongside, a reminder that the CDE market is dominated by a handful of Anglo-American platforms even where the vendor itself is European. For a European buyer comparing Thinkproject and Asite, the deciding factor is usually the supplier network already using one or the other.
What Asite does well
- Published per-user pricing, unusual for a CDE
- Marketplace adds supplier procurement to the document environment
- Independent UK company, running since 2001
- 3D Repo model viewer available as an add-on
- Long track record on large multi-party programmes
Where Asite falls short
- Prices quoted in dollars rather than euros
- Feature depth similar to Thinkproject, so the two overlap
- No public pricing for the enterprise tiers larger programmes need
- Implementation still needs a configuration project
Standout feature. The only common data environment in this grid that publishes a per-user starting price instead of routing every buyer to a sales call.
