With Matterport, we went over our monthly limit by 4,000 scans. The hosting fees and penalties were ridiculous. And no one even flagged it.

Everything lived in the cloud with Matterport. There were chain-of-custody concerns, subscription fees and we couldn’t store the raw data ourselves. Our clients—especially public agencies—care about data control. I couldn’t download or store the raw data. That was a dealbreaker.
