EK Erin K. Graduate quantity surveyor Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/18/2026 "Incredibly Handy for Large Scale Projects" 4/5 What do you like best about DroneDeploy? I find DroneDeploy incredibly handy for large-scale projects. I really like the 3D model aspect, as it's a great tool to visually see the site, since 2D alone can lack detail. It helps me with solid evidence of progress on the site when working on monthly valuations. It also makes it easier to take off large quantities of material and quantify when doing progress claims, especially against civil works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DroneDeploy? The app could be improved by making it more accessible for newcomers. There are a lot of hidden aspects that most do not know about.

Junior Specialist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/18/2024 "Always happy using the Industry Standard, Pre and Post Flight, Cloudbased, Reality Capture Software" 3.5/5 What do you like best about DroneDeploy? DroneDeploy is like an iPhone, Macbook, or iPad; it is a polished and refined tool that centers the user in an ease-of-use, ready-to-go environment. The user interface is very intuitive, and Pilots can easily create and share plans, progress, and rough products. There have been a few minimal issues when we have used DroneDeploy, but those are likely related to user error. The support team is top-notch and responsive. Andrea Ku from the support team was very helpful, very patient, and very understanding. Andrea even recorded a step-by-step video to demonstrate my mistakes and the solution and then directed me to resources that would ensure other issues wouldn't arise in the future. I don't remember another support experience that was as pleasant and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DroneDeploy? In another similar aspect of Apple products, DroneDeploy costs an arm and a leg. Remote pilots or their companies have to invest heavily to enter the DroneDeploy ecosystem. Customization is also limited to what DroneDeploy permits. While the cost and limitations ensure that the product is stable and users don't have constant issues, it really does limit DroneDeploy to large corporations, institutions, or already cemented remote pilots. Developing companies or new pilots will not be able to afford entry into this ecosystem. New pilots will likely use Litchi, Drone Link, or some other reality capture software that is more affordable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is DroneDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you? DroneDeploy is great because my institution provides us with licenses, so I can use it without having to sell my kidney to finance the software. I forgot to mention, another great reason to use this product is that processing/stitching is included and it is processed through DroneDeploy servers, so users don't need to invest into workstations or other image-processing softwares.

The platform offers a single pricing structure, eliminating unexpected charges at the end of the month. It features fast processing and a user-friendly interface, making it straightforward to use in most scenarios. With a solid range of features, it stands out as a reliable product. Moreover, the customer service team is exceptional—knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to resolving issues with personalized assistance, not just generic cookie cutter responses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DroneDeploy? One major drawback of the platform is the amount of time required for tedious tasks. For instance, setting the crop area of a map over 3,000 images is incredibly time-consuming, with each vertex taking over 30 seconds to adjust. If a map has 100 vertices, that amounts to nearly an hour spent just moving points. This issue could be easily resolved with an 'upload/download/save KML' option, allowing users to avoid repetitive manual adjustments. Additionally, every time a job needs to be retried due to potentially misaligned GCPs (Ground Control Points), the entire dataset must be reuploaded, wasting both bandwidth and time. A more efficient solution would be allowing users to reprocess the same map while redoing only the GCP process. The GCP workflow itself could also be improved significantly by enabling users to save sessions, so they can correct issues and reprocess without starting from scratch. At present, marking each GCP takes over a minute—marking 50 GCPs can take 1–2 hours. An option to automatically exclude GCP images that don’t align properly within the selection box would also be a valuable addition. Often, these images are located on the edges and are prone to lens distortion, making them unreliable for marking. the same goes for blurry ones, Ignoring these in favor of better-quality images would streamline the process and improve accuracy. Another critical improvement would be a feature to flag blurry images and suggest processing the map using the side overlap images to avoid incorporating poor-quality data into the orthomap. This would help prevent entire flight lines or even singles of blurry images from compromising the final product. Lastly, one of the most frustrating aspects is that customers cannot use the measuring and volume calculation tools without a DroneDeploy account. Most of our customers only need to draw basic lines, measure polygons, or perform very basic volume calculations. They don’t require that the data be saved—just quick measurements. Requiring an account for this functionality is prohibitive, as accounts are expensive, and most customers aren’t willing to spend $1,000+ annually just to measure a line on their land a handful of times. Removing this restriction would greatly enhance usability and accessibility Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is DroneDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you? DroneDeploy addresses a crucial challenge: showing customers exactly what they’re paying for. Traditionally, customers purchasing surveys or other data are handed a DWG file or a sheet of paper, which can be confusing and demoralizing if they don’t understand its purpose or value. This often makes them hesitant to invest in similar services again since they spent quite a bit of money on something they cant use or understand themselves. DroneDeploy solves this by providing an accessible, visual platform that even less tech-savvy users can navigate on nearly any device. Customers can log in and see their data in a simple, intuitive way. While the engineer still receives the DWG file needed for the project, the customer also gets something they can directly use and appreciate—providing real value for the money they’ve spent. This visual clarity often encourages repeat business. Customers can now see how their properties are performing with their own eyes, rather than relying solely on employees' reports. This increased transparency and usability make DroneDeploy’s cost worthwhile and help build trust and engagement for future projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

President Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/2/2024 "Fantastic product, but not always clear what features are available" 4/5 What do you like best about DroneDeploy? The seamlessness between flight, upload, and model creation is fantastic. I can quickly and easily share models to be used for a variety of use cases (project tracking, inspections, surveying) and the product fidelity is very impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DroneDeploy? DroneDeploy's feature list is not always clear. For example, I have an Advanced License subscription and I cannot share a full project link with a client, I can only share individual scans. Therefore, if I have a project with multiple scans, I need to send multiple links to my client. This creates a risk of losing track of these links and my client does not get to access any of the comparison features. I was only told of this because I asked the right questions to their sales team, and if I want this feature, I need to pay for the next tier or on a project by project basis, which my client's are less likely to opt in for. It's a great product when you know what is all included - and can sometime's be surprising when you find out where the feature wall pops up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Depending on how urgent the issue is that youre having, the customer support team are extremely knowledgeable and willing to help at any hour of the day. Being a novice at drones and dronedeploy, I was constantly having issues with uploading data and pulling actionable data out of the maps that were generated, All it took was a quick message to the support team and they helped me get back on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about DroneDeploy? There is truly not a lot of downsides to Dronedeploy, If i had to choose anything, it would be the upload speeds of the data to their website. some maps were only 1300-1500 images and would take close to 8 hours. Although I believe this is due to my end and our wifi here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is DroneDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you? We are able to accurately track desease amongst our Orchards as well as plan construction works.
