"Carto makes web based GIS and interactive mapping fun and easy"
5/5
What do you like best about CARTO?

Ability to drag & drop various GIS data formats into their interface (they're auto-magically imported into a PostGIS database); robust set of APIs such as the SQL API; Javascript library for integration with web mapping libraries such as Leaflet and Google Maps.

What do you dislike about CARTO?

The new Builder interface takes some getting used to, but Carto has plenty of tutorials to help you learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Cloud Mapping Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about CARTO?

The ease of dropping in ESRI Shapefiles, Open Street Map data or all the other supported formats to quickly be able to visualize the information in a variety of ways. Their BI tools are great and constantly getting better and better through their continues integration. I also like that CARTO can be a database to manage projects and not only geospatial data. I also like that there are integration tools to many programming languages as well as QGIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CARTO?

Faster response when working with 50 million records or more. The ability to not be able to directly connect to the PostGIS database direction via IDE's. There are many wonderful drivers and libraries to help get data in and out but does cause some workarounds when need to deal with many database changes. These issues are not faults of the SaaS but more on us, trying to push the limits of what is possible with their service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CARTO = New Generation of Location Intelligence"
5/5
What do you like best about CARTO?

CARTO is hands-down the best geo-visualization tool in the industry. Beyond their stellar product, the executive and senior management team is one of the most thoughtful and engaged teams that I've collaborated work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CARTO?

CARTO is on the cutting edge of technology and their product evolves quickly. Like most young companies, quality issues come up from time to time due to the rapid nature of product evolution. That said, they respond immediately and allow for open-source contribution, so bugs/issues never last long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent product!!!"
5/5
What do you like best about CARTO?

Our organization appreciates that the platform makes very technical information available to the community since it creates a bridge between the traditional geographical systems and the communication part of this information.

It also has several and suitable options to categorize information, as well as to put layers, images, and text in the maps which is usually very difficult to incorporate in an online platform without coding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CARTO?

We would like the possibility to put more layers of information per map and more space for datasets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
