Great data visualization software

  • November 13, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Within Builder, I like how Carto makes it easy to query data with its PostgreSQL backend, and it's very easy to visualize and style the results, making it very easy to create nice looking maps. I also use the SQL and Maps APIs and JavaScript libraries, which I find to work well and intuitively, with good documentation. The feature to create a unique API key that grants access to different datasets is very useful to me.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find that the query limits are somewhat prohibitive. Particularly for larger datasets, I've run into issues not being able to vacuum a table that is too large. For some larger polygon datasets, I am not able to use jenks classification without a timeout. While I can get around some query limits by batch processing, but still can take more time than needed. Additionally, I find the pricing jump from a non-commercial to commercial license to be very steep, and it has been hard to get a real estimate for this in pricing discussions that I've had.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company uses Carto to host, maintain, and visualize our geospatial telecommunications and other infrastructure databases. Carto's features have streamlined our processes to develop and maintain these database. We combine this data with demand indicators such as population density, night light imagery, schools, hospitals, and other points of interest to assess where infrastructure is needed most, or where a business opportunity may be latent for our clients. Carto makes it easy to store, manage, and visualize this data to reveal patterns and insights.

GREAT product for beginners & experts, confusing business model

  • November 13, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
CARTO will forever hold a special place in my heart as the product & platform that introduced me to geospatial analysis. Not only is CARTO a powerful tool for geospatial developers with technical skills, but it also works tremendously for beginners with zero experience who want to generate powerful, spatial insights
What do you dislike about the product?
CARTO's business strategy doesn't seem to match their product strategy. In terms of their product strategy, CARTO seems to be investing the majority of their development efforts into features that make the product work for beginners (people without technical mapping/geospatial skills). However, while their product team continues to make the platform better and better for beginners, their pricing strategy seems to do the opposite. They've removed any pricing tier that could be remotely affordable to an individual, and have left only those pricing tiers that enterprises can afford.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CARTO to generate ad hoc maps & spatial analyses that support various customer needs

What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of editing your map, how easy it is to change colour, style, basemap, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not being able to edit the basemaps, for example the position of the labels, roads, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently using Carto for my academic studies, visualising data for my Data Analytics programme. The benifts of using Carto are the maps created are very professional.

Incredible geospatial tool with an easy to use web interface!

  • November 12, 2020

What do you like best about the product?
CARTO is an easy to use powerful tool, that helps us create maps in a matter of minutes without any custom code, it's all declarative. It has advanced analytical capabilities to help you facilitate different analysis within maps. You can also use SQL for more complex calculations. You can also easily share your maps with other internal/external users in a matter of seconds. Their account executive and technical support teams are incredibly agile and extremely resourceful and accommodating. We will be using it's advanced API geocoding features in the future beyond our current use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of learning curve involved; however, this is typically the case with many different applications. If I could change one thing, it would be it's maximum layer limit per dataset.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CARTO to plot our data on different maps for planning, forecasting, and collaborating with other stakeholders.

CARTO REVIEW

  • November 12, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ability to quickly map hot spots and take a screen shot to communicate to customers our coverage areas..
What do you dislike about the product?
Zip codes too small when zooming in and out. I'm often mapping zip codes for logistics. Need a visual indicator for sharing - if locked and not able to be shared, then it should say so.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to map out where we should be conducting logistics, by taking customer demand data and mapping it over our logistics network capabilities.

Black Germany

  • November 12, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This platform allowed my class to create a sustainable e-platform for users to learn about the rich history of notable Black German citizens who haven’t been represented throughout world history as contributors.
What do you dislike about the product?
It’s a little sensitive to navigate. I had trouble with publishing updates to our map and the images showing up in tandem with the information as user hovered over “plots” on the map
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Benefit of creating sustainable platforms for people to learn history that was deemed inconsistent to white, standards of beauty or living. Representation matter to the Black community as a reminder of our inherent capabilities, especially when society tries to make us feel otherwise.
