I have never used it but by reading about it, it appears they're catering to building/construction type sheet metal.
This may mean they have made it easier to generate these items, such as a duct or a duct elbow, by inputting size parameters and generating the flat pattern with a click.
This would make since for this field as it's generally the same pieces but of varying sizes so having a program that does canned routines would be a benefit over SW.
But whether it can do a generally sheet metal project, such as an industrial product, whether at all or better than SW, that I don't know.
The page above (for the North American region) has a link for a free trial. Perhaps the page for your locale offers the same.

Their headquarters is about 40 miles east of me.
