"Easy integration, quick set-up, immediate Access"
What do you like best about MaxMind GeoIP®?

I use MaxMind's GeoIP2 Lite in combination with the Advanced Ads Pro-Integration on my self-hosted WordPress. It's very easy to set-up and takes less than a minute to get Access to the API, and can be used immediately to limit Access to Ads (in my case) based on Country (some Advertisers only advertise locally, so it's easy to use MaxMind's API to limit Ads only to specific Regions). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MaxMind GeoIP®?

Actually nothing, and I don't know why someone always has to fill out this field. As I mentioned, going live takes less than a minute, the API updates every day and the integration (in my case with Advanced Ads) is set up within a minute or two. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Integrated GeoIP into a network security product"
What do you like best about MaxMind GeoIP®?

There was an option that allowed one to read from a database file that they would send you month by month. This allowed us to perform a join on the traffic using distributed cache. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MaxMind GeoIP®?

The query of the static file used a proprietary piece of code which I had to spend time learning. It could have been easier I suppose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
