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

  • The delivery information driver activity tracking is fantastic. That improved a lot our customer service.
  • In our line of business, it is essential to be able to cover as many use cases as possible. The 100+ parameters available makes it the only software I tested that model our activity perfectly.
  • I love being able to balance sales territories and have a management tool that handles close to 40K US zip codes.
  • Easy to use, and onboarding e-training in the application, flexible integration. Also, Gartner Certified!
  • New capabilities are rolled-out regularly, and they listen to their users for new features implementation.

Cons

  • The cheaper version does not have real-time appointment optimization, which is a shame.
  • I would love more capabilities in reporting, specifically a customizable BI dashboard, like a drag & drop UI?
  • I have noticed a slow down in performance when working with too many attributes on the zip code optimization.
  • The US localization still needs some work but will probably be up to standards in the very near future.
  • Even though the interactive tutorials are an excellent addition, it would be nice to have a free training session at sign-up.
