Both multibranded passthru, scanmatik 2 pro acts as a j2534 interface just like a vcx se.
scanmatik 2 pro is compatible with more 3rd party software, but unfortunately it does not have DoIP.
So if need to troubleshooting older vehicles, both passthru works fine, but if need to do newer DoIP vehicles, you will need a VCX SE.
