## Felt Reviews
  ### 1. Effortless Data Layer Sharing Across Teams and Consultants

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Calie G. | Principal Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2026

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

Felt allows our team to easily share data layers between multiple consultants and team members, regardless of their role or competency with GIS.

**What do you dislike about Felt?**

Felt lacks some "workspace" tools such as measuring, calculating, etc. which can be substituted with GIS workflows. This is an additional learning curve for engineering teams used to software like CAD or Bluebeam PDF.

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

Felt is allowing us to easily gather data for our clean energy projects from multiple sources, including publicly available files, vendor CAD files, consultant shape files, and field collected data points. This reduces time spent waiting on other consultants to gather information for us, and also allows us to make simple map-based data correlations and analyses that otherwise could not occur because of differing locations of data.

  ### 2. Effortless Large Dataset Mapping with Flexibility

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Christopher B. | Co-founder &amp; CTO, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2026

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

I use Felt to create maps that visualize our NatureScore scorings, and I really appreciate its ability to provide beautiful, fast, high-quality maps of very large datasets. I find the feature to upload various data formats and multi-GB datasets particularly beneficial. I also like the custom styling and annotations as well as the availability of useful datasets like census boundaries. Felt's sharing features and great map embedding for websites are fantastic. The initial setup was super easy, which was a big plus.

**What do you dislike about Felt?**

The S3 integration/product is appealing but hasn't quite met our needs yet. It could use better allowance for files where the name only differs by extension and processing of some large datasets.

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

Felt provides beautiful, high-quality maps quickly, even for very large datasets. It supports various data formats with custom styling and offers useful datasets like census boundaries. It surpasses previous tools in handling large datasets and offers sharing and embedding features for web sites.

  ### 3. Effortless Geospatial Analysis and Sharing

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rachel S. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 18, 2026

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

I like how Felt is easy to use and powerful. It handles lots of data with ease, which is really important for my work in geospatial investigations and mapping. I mean, I've got more than 100 spatial datasets, some pretty big ones, and it doesn't flinch; it displays them beautifully. The initial setup was also very easy, even for someone not technical like me.

**What do you dislike about Felt?**

Nothing

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

I use Felt for geospatial investigations and mapping. It helps layer multiple datasets to reveal relationships, supports journalism, shares data, handles vast datasets beautifully without issues, and is easy to use, even for non-technical users.

  ### 4. Creative, artistic, fun, and decluttered mapping.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tom M. | Principal and Educational Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 05, 2023

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

Collaboration, drawing tools, and layers.

**What do you dislike about Felt?**

I would love to see hyperlinking in text.

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

Illustrating history and science concepts. Creating maps of locations in a novel. Collaborators add to a map in real-time.
