## DroneDeploy Reviews
  ### 1. Drone Deploy Clunky and Expensive and not a good place to keep reference images,

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rene L. | Mr, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2019

**What do you like best about DroneDeploy?**

The idea of using drone software to track the progress of a building sounds brilliant, except it doesn't really have any benefit or usebiulity.

**What do you dislike about DroneDeploy?**

The defenition is not high enough and thus useless as one can't see any detail later on. Yes, you can see the house/project is progressing, but there is no way to go back and see detail that might be important, ie. location of piping, wires etc. Also it is super expensive after the free period is over. I subscibed for a year and thought I would be able to download my pictures afterwards, but there is also NO way of downloading the pictures. So in fact, I miticulously flew my drone for a year to track the progress, paid $1000 to do so and now because I do not continue my subscription all is lost. £@$@%&*^(& 
If you are not a corporate and have a clear business plan with Drone Deploy I would not waist my money. There are free open source versions available, 

**Recommendations to others considering DroneDeploy:**

It is not possible to download the images uploaded to DroneDeploy later. When you upload images, save them to a different location as well otherwise they will be lost and you will be held hostage by DroneDeploy to continue your subscription.

**What problems is DroneDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

None for me, thoght I would be able to track my progress, but just flying the drone and taking video would have worked better. 

  ### 2. Overall satisfaction of DroneDeploy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2019

**What do you like best about DroneDeploy?**

I like our easy it is to setup different flight templates types and then quickly prepare flights in the field. The quality of date captured and process is great and the browser apps make if easy to analyse and understand what is currently happening and over the life of the project. 

**What do you dislike about DroneDeploy?**

I hate not being able to chain flights together back to back instead of landing after each flight.  I also don't like the difficulty of sharing flight data with non-license project members. I can share links of individual maps. panos, etc, but it would be much better to be able to share a single link to an entire days worth of different captures.

**Recommendations to others considering DroneDeploy:**

Get it.  It's a fantastic product that listens to its customers and constantly improves.

**What problems is DroneDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Tracking construction site progress and analyzing historical data.  Using scans and photos for inspections.  Using site scans for site current site logistics plans.

  ### 3. Great Tool for Crow-Sourcing Site Photos

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 19, 2019

**What do you like best about DroneDeploy?**

StructionSite makes it really easy to capture and find construction site photos. Our users love it and it's becoming a key tool in project delivery. It's so much easier to go to StructionSite than head out to the field. 

**What do you dislike about DroneDeploy?**

We has established location breakdowns in BIM360... it would be great to be able to tag photos to locations so when I search for a room, I can see all the associated photos. 

**What problems is DroneDeploy solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Photos used to be on peoples phones or on shared drives, but it was impossible to find them. StructionSite fixes this and also allows us to manage 360 photos!
