I guess I like Leapfrog Geo's versatility. There's a lot of capability built in, and there are many ways to use those capabilities in different ways. You can do a lot of problem-solving by using them in novel approaches, like looking at intersections or unions of things in space or building combined models. This helps in understanding how infrastructure interacts with geology in a given space. Also, the setup was pretty easy for me, especially as I've been using it for around eight years, and it's improved a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the cross sections and plan reviewing tool are effective, but there's room for improvement. I'd like more versatility to make report-ready products. Also, one of the stumbling blocks is doing custom work with a Python script in Leapfrog. I end up using GIS for plan views because it's more versatile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite feature of Leapfrog Geo is the speed at which it allows me to construct 3D geological models using the information of the drilling. Frequency of use and performance are high because as a resource geologist in mining I make use of it on a regular basis. The implicit modeling features and block model generation features allow me to explore various geological interpretations without necessarily beginning at the beginning. I also relate it to GIS platforms and mine planning systems, which ensure that our exploration and production teams are on track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A weakness is that, the hardware specifications are a challenge, particularly dealing with large drillhole data. It required the upgrade of a number of workstations during implementation making it more expensive. The higher level functions cannot be easily understood and novice geologists would require time before they are sure they can make good use of the available features. Models get heavy thus reducing the performance and this slows project updates. These problems occasionally slow down internal deadlines and put a strain at reporting periods.

The 3D model is very intuitive and enables fast geological interpretation of complex graphs, with dynamic updates as you work. It also performs strongly on large datasets and offers easy integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Large and complex problems can run slowly, and the output takes time to generate. The pricing and licensing can also feel restrictive for small teams. On top of that, some advanced features are a bit hard to understand, and support isn’t very helpful when it comes to more complex issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implicit modeling and simple UI/UX for geological modeling and data visualization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The framework for mineral resource estimation is still limited and can't do a proportion calculation of the block model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Leapfrog Geo is easy to learn and makes it possible to quickly create domains even from messy data. The software feels lightweight, and it's visually impressive, effectively visualizing data, which is really helpful. Cross sections are straightforward to produce, aiding in data communication. I find the user interface simple and easy to navigate. It's also nice to see that Leapfrog is used widely across the industry, providing a sense of consistency.

It feels very cumbersome and slow to plan drilling. Things that could help improve would be a grid on the plane. Being able to calculate average deviation across multiple holes. Be able to convert a DXF to planned drilling. One aspect, which I think has been updated with stereo nets is the volume filter. This is helpful but volume filters only filter for collar. This means a lot of data can only be filtered to the resolution of an entire hole. Be able to create two slices at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the software incredibly user friendly and easy to understand/use. I use it on a weekly - almost daily basis. I like that it makes my data very easy to visualise. It's also very easy to import data such as drilling/images etc. I also like the validation process when importing drilling databases, as this helps to identify mistakes/double ups in drilling data, especially historical - typically not validated data.

I find the cross section generation feature a little clunky and would prefer if there would be some way to better refine/create cross sections. I also have trouble with some meshes from other software programs, however this may also come from my lack of understanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great graphical displays and ability to model thru different ways/options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How user-friendly the entire software interface is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It still lacks integration with programming languages such as Python to automate processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The freedom to build a model for data-poor exploration projects. All you need is a geologic map and topography and you can start testing ideas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When the database grows really big the software can start running slow. I dislike the licensing system and that you can only assign a seat up to 10 days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The implicit workflows, and that my work is repeatable and auditable, and updates are easily incorporated. I also like the flexibility in importing and integrating so many different data types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some elements of the software that aren't fully developed and haven't been for years. For example the structural tools are great at what they do, but you still can't group codes after merging tables of oriented data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
