Great customer service and great product
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.

CARTO @ Telefónica Ecuador
What do you like best about the product?
The perfect combination between how easy it is to create maps (Drag and drop its the way to go) and the flexibility of manipulating the code to customize the visualizations. Also the flexibility SQL tools give to the maps help a lot. The built in geographical functions provide helpful tools to create new ways to show insights.
What do you dislike about the product?
The flexibility of the calculation of the widgets should allow percentages or custom calculations since we have seen that those contribute significantly to the story telling. Besides that the simplicity in the process of map building has most of the functions needed for map building. And, if something else in needed the sql flexibility allows to build it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Showing big amounts of data in a simple way. We have realized that the more beautiful the more reliable and believable the map is. A lot of the telco data is better presented in a geographical form and also helps the decision making process to be way faster and intuitive than with the current methodologies and reporting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start every project thinking of making the map updates automatic since the story telling and traceability will be richer. Also think about how the different built in tools like APIs to services, geographical functions, database connectors and other services will help you automate and deliver the storytelling and maps. Most of the viewers and interested partners in the map will love the maps and the story telling when it is told correctly.
Clean UI, easy data connections, beautiful graphics
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to connect to multiple data sources, from cloud databases, to local csv files. Getting data from different domains into a single map, such as demographic and internal datasets, to reveal geospatial insights that were not previously obvious to the team before. Carto can be used outside of the UI as well, such as in jupyter notebooks. I like how Carto allows non technical users to build, create and share their maps for viewing. I like how the data connections and maps can be configured to allow for auto-updating, this is a very helpful feature that reduces a lot of manual map updating, and is now automated.
What do you dislike about the product?
Data can't be auto-detected, e.g. geo columns need to be titled explicitly. Load times can get a little slow and laggy at times, connecting to bigquery can be buggy too. It might be better if there was an option to load a sample of the data when working with big datasets, showing a preview for the sample when building the map out.
The map color spectrum can be smarter, it does not detect non numerical ordinal data (e.g. alphabetical), causing manual color selection from the palette.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multilayered geospatial problems. Being able to share map and geospatial analytics easily with a wide range of audiences that vary in terms of technical/domain expertise. We are solving a wide array of problems in the fields of logistics challenges, marketing reach, market share, competitor analysis, demographic targeting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Why wait? I don't see any other online web/cloud mapping platform that is as comprehensive and complete as Carto.
User friendly, great web portal for mapping
What do you like best about the product?
user-friendly interface , and shareable web links
What do you dislike about the product?
spatial analysis functions are limited, and data manipulation is limited
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
visualizing maps to share with clients
