Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Data rich, function rich and easy to use. I've used multiple GIS software over the years and still find Maptitude very hard to beat and very inexpensive when compared to some of the key GIS players out there.
  • Maptitude is a full-featured GIS, yet it is also easy to use. The publisher makes excellent training materials available for free, including videos and an on-line manual with many worked examples. Maptitude comes with a wealth of bundled data, so it is easy to get mapping right away. There is also a powerful scripting language under the hood that can be used to write plug-ins, though it's worth noting that lot of functions that typically require plug-ins in other GIS software packages are part of the Maptitude base install. User support (free for the first 60 days, available as a subscription service thereafter) is very responsive and knowledgeable. Free (limited to non-commercial use) 1-year academic licenses available for students.
  • Feature-rich Desktop GIS with unparalleled functionality in spatial analytics. Gigabytes of demographic and land use data accompanies the software. A knowledgable tech-support team that is always responsive. Innovatiion-driven with new functionality being added all the time
  • It allows me to offer quality advice to logistics consulting clients about the geography of their logistics requirements - that could be at country level, a local van operation or store catchments for dark store and microfulfilment operations: facility location, drive time zones, visualising flows. And there are also features that are really useful for field operations and sales & marketing.
  • Easy to start with Great analytical features Lots of available data sets Great for visualization Works great with other mapping tool formats Free trial

Cons

  • I'd like to see more interactive functionality along the same lines as the business intelligence systems. Being able to update graphs on-the-fly for example based on a selection of geographic features would be very useful.
  • Caliper redesigned the interface a few years ago, and moved some of the items I used most deep into the menus. The new interface probably provides navigation for a brand-new user, but I personally liked the old arrangement better. Maptitude doesn't have as large a plug-in library as other packages (but see the pro above regarding plug-ins).
  • Automation of tasks through scripting might be made for user-friendly.
  • Nothing ...this is the most difficult box to complete as I really don't have a bad word to say.
  • Expensive license. Lots of advanced features have steep learning curve.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Not having to have an internet connection to use it, and it works with three of my GPSes. Course plotting is always the course I would choose, never a "WTF" route like some others.
  • Simple GIS is a flexible and feature rich application that satisfies all our organization’s requirements. Technical support is both extremely knowledgeable and available! We initially emailed Simple GIS our requirements. They quickly produced an on-line demonstration of how Simple GIS addressed each of our requirements. As a result, I had no reservations about purchasing this application and have not been disappointed since implementation.
  • Simple GIS saved my bacon on several projects here I didn't have access to a professional CAD/GIS person, Learned the basics in less than an hour. The GIS simple people were very responsive whenever i had a question when I reached a roadblock using the software. The final maps I produced passed muster with some very particular regulatory agencies.
  • - Value for Money! Simple GIS is a savior for a lot of people with a small budget. The tool is robust and feature-packed. Gives no reason to complain at its price point.

Cons

  • Is missing a few streets, but updates has fixed some of my issues.
  • Simple GIS Client is not web based. I believe its flexibility results in a little bit of a learning curve. However, Simple GIS Product support has expertise and is always available to assist.
  • Some aspects in terms of labeling were slightly clunky but not a deal breaker.
  • - It could be said that the UI isn't very modern, but most people in the GIS industry care less about that.
