# Which engineering document management platforms offer the most scalable solution for large enterprises managing document control across multiple divisions and geographies?

&lt;p&gt;From G2 reviews, what actually decides it at a global scale is how the tool handles file transfers and performance for remote sites. Bentley ProjectWise wins on multi-firm infrastructure programs, but reviewers consistently flag that heavy model transfers drag for teams far from the server, which becomes the deciding pain point before any feature comparison matters. Accruent Meridian holds up better for owner-operators needing a single asset-lifecycle record across geographies, with the cloud option doing more of the performance work that ProjectWise leaves to infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;
