MapInfo Pro vs. Salesforce Maps

Very suitable for any project where geographic data needs to be analysed or presented in a digestible format. There is more easy to use software for 3D and terrain work. For drilling data the plug in is limited and slightly clumsy in its execution although it is possible to draw the trace, snap to terrain and colour depending on geology, assay results, etc.

Great tool for a large organization. They are now very expensive among other competitors unfortunately but have great customer service and easy setup.

• They just restructured their pricing model and we are ending our contract because of it - you have to pay for 10 users.
• The crossover with accounts and contacts are hard to map.
• The window sizes when navigating the maps are difficult to work with.

Worked well once you figured it out. The 'help portal' was no 'help'. Once you get done self-teaching yourself enough of the terminology and workings, it is pretty quick and easy to use. But the learning curve, again, is not worth the time or effort

MapInfo Pro customer support has always been quick and very helpful with any issues I have had with the software. They usually get back to you about your enquiry within 24 hours and they also tend to follow up to make sure your issue was resolved. I find it refreshing to be able to contact their experts quickly and easily.

Support was comical. It was barely available and the few times I did get help the language barrier was extraordinarily problematic

QGIS works very well however I find it a little harder to use and find the tools/settings I need in QGIS. It has a lot of the same functionality as MapInfo however QGIS doesn't really offer a dedicated customer support form or service which makes it harder to learn the product.

Unknown other products out there. Was led to Maps by our SF rep. I made the mistake of trusting a salesperson for solutions. SF reps are pushed to sell the going product, not actually HELP their clients.

• Spatial data can be created quickly and easily
• Can be expensive to licence

• Increased efficiency
• Reduced labor time
• Improved visibility
