FME Makes Massive Spatial ETL Feel Intuitive…!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about FME is how well it handles massive datasets while connecting almost any format.I also like its interface since it makes complex spatial ETL feel intuitive.

No cons..just enjoying working with FME Platform!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It handles huge datasets and connects virtually any data format in one workflow
FME Ended Our Data Format Headaches with One Powerful Workspace
What do you like best about the product?
Every quarter our field teams were exporting pipe network updates in one format and asset management platform was expecting something different. Someone always spent full day fixing those files manually. But after we built FME workspace to handle that transformation it just stopped being a problem. Geometry reprojection and attribute mapping in same workspace, no extra scripts. FeatureMerger transformer saved us from writing custom logic we would have to maintain ourselves.
What do you dislike about the product?
Error messaging during workspace execution is not good. When something fails mid run the log is verbose in wrong places and missing where it matters. We spent almost two weeks on a workspace that was silently dropping features because of one attribute mismatch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Process that used to take 6 to 8 hours of manual work now runs overnight as scheduled job. That part was expected. What we did not expect was the consistency. Pipe network data used to arrive with small errors, projection issues, truncated field names, things that slowly built up. But now same rules apply every time. Junior analysts are also not doing data wrangling anymore but they are doing actual analysis.
