## Manifold System Reviews
  ### 1. Manifold

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** April 19, 2018

**What do you like best about Manifold System?**

Ease of use. It's just a much simpler software than ArcGIS and definitely not as buggy. I like that maps and data is saved within the file, unlike ArcGIS. Easy mapping, Memory usage is low and probably the best part about it is the low cost. 

**What do you dislike about Manifold System?**

Not quite as robust as ArcGIS. Not as many geoprocessing tool and functions, like ArcGIS has. No support really, seems like they just have an online manual. Definitely more bare bones than ArcGIS but the can be a good and bad thing. 

**Recommendations to others considering Manifold System:**

Good, simple, cheap GIS Software

**What problems is Manifold System solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Presentation, geoprocessing, data management.
