Common Data Environment (CDE) Recommendation UK

Hi,

 

Do any of the UK based community have any experience, recommendations or tips for deploying a Common Data Environment? We are looking at BIMcloud SAAS and BIM Collab as solutions and also BIM Eye but any recommendations would be great.

I’m AU based, but from research recently BIMColab doesn’t have its own CDE to store models, you have to links it to a separate CDE and it allows you to view the models from the other CDE in BIMCollab and create clash issues there. 
Our firm settled on Newforma Konekt (formerly BIMTrack), it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of some of the others, but lets upload various models and drawings and create clash issues and assign them to users.

Thanks @scottjm that’s really helpful. It’ll be interesting to see how BIMcloud develops as an option. I’ll have a look at Newforma.
