EU Trust Profile
What we verified against public sources, last checked 2026-08-23. Every point links to its evidence.
- Evidence →Data Processing Agreement (DPA)
The Data Processing Agreement is referenced in the Terms and Conditions.
- Evidence →SOC 2
AICPA SOC 2 Type II audit completed, attested by Prescient Assurance.
We list only what we could verify against a public source on the check date. A point that is absent was not established either way — it is not a finding against the vendor. The vendor's own information prevails.

Reviews
Recurring themes, synthesized from public reviews across portals.
What users value
- Browser-based platform with no specialized knowledge required (e.g., Linux)
- Intuitive, clean interface with quick onboarding and straightforward setup
- Excellent, fast, and responsive customer support with efficient issue resolution
- Cloud computing enables parallel simulations without expensive on-premise hardware
- Collaboration across locations and devices
- Comprehensive simulation tools covering CFD, FEA, thermal, and electromagnetic analysis
- Strong onboarding training via live sessions, webinars, and documentation
