Great product and awsome team

  • August 17, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most is the Team Support helping us with all issues and doubts. And the flexibility they have with us in order to scale our col·laboration with Carto according to our necessities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Carto Builder limitations. Carto Builder has the possibility to create a lot of geospatial analysis easily. But sometimes we need more, we would like to personalise it even more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualize the information we want to our customers in a easy, simply and pretty way. And in real time!

CARTO Builder: WebMapping for dummies

  • August 12, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- Ease of use
- Fast Engine
- Great interoperability with Alteryx via CARTO connector
- Basemap from almost all sources can be added
What do you dislike about the product?
- Limitation of CARTO Builder in terms of number of layers, styling, legend
- CARTO db require great coding skills
- Analysis tool require lot of in-memory and often broke your map
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can can display/publish large dataset within minutes in CARTO Builder and provide Geospatial Data Visualization to your end-user really fast. Unlimited viewers/sharing is also a big differentiator with other vendors
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You need to know the limitations of the software (CARTO Builder) or to have high coding skills if you want to move forward with CARTO Engine. I am recommending this product cause of the ease of use and their powerful engine.

Great web-mapping tool!

  • August 12, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, the interface is intuitive. The widgets add nice features and lot of functionalities. The integration of Jupyter Notebooks and CartoFrames make it a powerful tool for spatial data science. The data observatory also adds almost unlimited possibilites with the addition of great datasets from reliable data providers. This allows analysts to push the insights to the next level and conveniently add external data sources to their maps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited API functionalities to access data and features stored in Carto. It would need better GIS capabilities for more advanced users without relying on external tools. Carto Builder should be a key product in their offering and development efforts seem to be towards other products for the last few years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Doing map visualization, finding insights between customers, markets, transactions and store locations. Creating maps to share internally and externally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great tool to easily publish and share maps to a large audience. The visualization features are nice and make intuitive maps. Not the traditionnal GIS tool, it lacks some spatial analysis features typically found in desktop tools but it makes a great tool for businesses looking at entry level web-based software. If you're looking for an entry-level SaaS software to share maps and data across an organization it's a great tool to consider. I would recommend to an organization that have a limited number of users, maybe not a solution for a 1000+ persons to share data

Great tool and great services

  • August 12, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The main advantages that CARTO gave us, IMO are:

1. The tool is powerful, but at the same time is very easy to use even for people with no data analytics background or expertise.
2. The visualization of your data makes easier taking some business decisions, especially those related to physical localization.
3. CARTO team are available for consulting them, especially at the beginning of our relationship. That point is very important, because without their help it would be quite complicated for us to use CARTO tool at 100%.
4. Due to COVID, we have to change a little our project scope, and talked with CARTO team and they gave us all the comprehension and facilities to change with no problem. We really appreciate that.
What do you dislike about the product?
The least hepful about CARTO, maybe are these:

1. The learning curve at the beginning is a little bit complicated, especially for people with no data analytics expertise. If you want to use your company insights you have to make an upload of your data. At the beginning is a little bit complicated, but once you get in touch with CARTO team, you are able to do it in an easy way.
2. As we are talking about physical and geo items, the results are not as immediate as digital environment is. But this is not a CARTO topic but sector topic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Localization for physical items: branches, ATMs.
The main benefits for us is gaining efficiency in our investments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You should have a clear goal at the beginning of your collaboration, and know what variables are you willing to use -anyway CARTO team may help you with that-. Once you get that, you will need one or two FTEs -not 100% focused- to implement CARTO and start working with your data.

Easy platform, killer technology

  • August 11, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
For a layman, I feel Carto is extremely easy to use. They've always been so helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a bit of a learning curve but once you get over the initial hump it's fairly user friendly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a small subsidiary of a local real estate association that offers marketing tools for real estate agents. One of those tools is a water rights program that identifies boundary lines, ownership data, well logs, and many other details about a property. The company that built our previous system was not very helpful, and the system was extremely difficult to learn/use. Carto simplified the process and built us a new platform. The members love it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it!

Great customer service and great product

  • August 11, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
- The flexibility with the layers I upload and display
- Being able to customize my popover over map points
- Ability to share it with people outside of my account access/organization (like to clients)
- Ability to customize what the shared view will look like with other people
- The different types of layers are quite intuitive within its layer management system
- Ability to access older datasets
- The different base map options I can select (e.g. if i want to make my map look more like a google map, there is a base map layer that can meet that need)
What do you dislike about the product?
- I wish there were more online examples
- I wish I knew CARTO could increase the number of layers for my account if I had just asked sooner (make this more intuitive option)
- The KML files don't always work and I have to go through a series of back and forth to figure it out (so maybe just smarter KML parsing here)
- The option to change the base map is really hidden and it took me over 5 sessions with a rep to even realize that it's an available option
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using CARTO to visualize where my target audience is traveling and the visualizations that the platform provides is really helpful in building out a map I can present.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just take it slow and use one data set at a time.
