  • SAGA is trully a gem of FOSS GIS software
  • Great tool!
  • SAGA GIS is the best software, especially for Goemorphometric Analysis.
  • I am using it only. And fully compiled and installed with Mac OS X Snow Leopard ! My favorite GIS software ! Powerful ! Thank you !
  • very good for student
  • Best free and open source GIS
  • Excellent work!
  • Brilliant piece of software work and all for free!!!
  • Excellent raster analysis package for a very wide range of terrain analysis and remote sensing applications. Very good introductory tutorial material for this software is available here: sagatutorials.wordpress.com
  • I like the software is versatile and easy to follow, but, is poor on tutorials for learning it.
  • Powerfull tool for spacial analysis
  • It maybe can be somewhat difficult to start, but I love SAGA GIS, it works great and it is easy
  • Ever improving diamond of the GIS world
  • Hi Visit the blog "Zona OpenGTS" (www) zona-opengts.blogspot.com Thanks !!!
  • The best !
  • I have been working with SAGA for a while. It is powerful, straightforward, and fast. I also created a couple of custom modules and, while there are some problems, it was doable. While using the GUI is easy, dealing with the API is not as smooth: there are no good tutorials to get started (the one in the "A Gentle Introduction to SAGA GIS" misses some important aspects and is a bit outdated). I was working with version 2.1.2, but the documentation available was for a different incompatible version, and I didn't get any help at the forum. Also, sorting out which libraries and compilers are ok with which version of the GUI can be a pain, and it is hard to find out why a custom library does not load at a given point. I also wish that you could easily work with a free IDE like Qt or Eclipse; instead, you have to develop your modules on Visual Studio. I also wish that the documentation in the modules was better: you cannot know what a module or some of their parameters do many times. All this said, I really appreciate SAGA GIS and I wanted really hard to develop my project as a series of modules on this platform. However, it seems that the availability of temporal 2D/3D data management in GRASS GIS will make us move towards that other package. If only they included this data type in the core...
  • SAGA is a great package for environmental modelling and raster based work. Great functionality and fast processing times.
  • great program and fast help on the forum
  • Using SAGA GIS for working on raster data of all kind but mainly dealing with ALS data I am very fond of its quick, reliable and accurate processing capabilities. GUI also keeps improving steadily! I like it!
  • Nice, thank you

  • nice geography software
  • Great software, simple and easy to install.
  • It works. It supports pretty much everything you can think of. It doesn't crash in the hands of a casual user.
  • I have been using SAGA for over 6 years and I found it very useful in all kind of raster and vector based GIS work. SAGA has very strong grid and terrain processing capabilities. It has some simulation tools, too. SAGA can import export a range of file formats. It is easy to use and small in size. But, SAGA's presentation of output maps needs improvement. Scale bar, coordinate ticks and grid, north arrow, are some of the things missing in output. Some of the modules have bugs that, I hope, will be fixed soon.
