PC Peter C. Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/4/2023 "An essential part of any mapping application" 5/5 What do you like best about Mapbox? The map load times are snappy, there are rich customization options and base map choices, their pricing is generous and fair, and their team has been helpful along the way. And since the Mapbox team is always developing new features, we get to inherit important new functinoality on an ongoing basis. It's also easy for our development team to implement features using their APIs and for our integrating partners to use our maps built on Mapbox too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mapbox? The geocoding API is not always as accurate as others, such as Google's. It occasionally returns results that are not what the user would expect and doesn't have as many location names, such as small villages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mapbox solving and how is that benefiting you? Mapbox provides our mapping technology that is the basis for one of our core offerings, our maps of changing climate conditions. It is easy for us to develop, easy for our users to use, load times are fast, and our integrating partners are easily able to develop their own applications using our Mapbox maps.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/26/2023 "Great product and a willingness to help out people in the educational/not-for-profit space" 5/5 What do you like best about Mapbox? Mapbox's mapping tools are Best in Class at the moment, if you are serious about making powerful, beautiful, configurable maps that load quickly and look great. They have more options than anyone else out there, and actually seem to care about innovating in the mapping space (unlike Google Maps, which has been practically dormant for a long time now). Their Mapbox Studio tool makes it effortless to change the appearance of map features, and their satellite tiles are beautiful and in high definition. Mapbox has been on the cutting edge of vector-based mapping technology, which is rapidly becoming the standard for good reason. Beyond this, their Community & Social outreach has been execllent. I have been a heavy user of Mapbox maps since 2018. I run a popular website (NUKEMAP, a nuclear weapons effects simulator) that can have extremely variable traffic spikes depending on world events and media coverage, and is also entirely not-for-profit (with no advertising, etc.) and run on a shoestring budget. I switched to Mapbox from Google Maps because it became clear that Google was too interested in monetizing their interactions with people like me to be usable, and their prices were killing any ability to have a widely-used website that was not focused around generating profit. Mapbox has been willing to work with me, and has worked to find plans that would fit my budget, given the nature of the work, and has given me huge amounts of assistance and patience when I have been in between sponsors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mapbox? The only issue I have had with Mapbox is that their out-of-the-box API tools are not particularly suited to the kinds of operations that one might want to do, like drawing dynamic vector circles in my case. However their API is very flexible and with a little elbow-grease, you can make it do whatever you want, and it runs extremely fast no matter what. So while it might take a little more effort to get things up and running, once you have them up and running it will look good, and run fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mapbox solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Mapbox to visualize spatial data, specifically to show people what the effects of nuclear weapons would be on areas they have been to. To do this, I am using their vector tile service, their satellite tiles, and their raster tiles as a fallback option for users without WebGL (which for a global app is still quite a lot). Since 2018, when I switched to Mapbox, NUKEMAP has had over 40 million users globally, including massive traffic spikes whenever world events have caused people to seek out information about nuclear weapons (e.g., between February and June 2022 saw nearly 9 million users as tensions between NATO and Russia increased following the Russian invasion of Ukraine). Being able to provide this kind of factual information in an intuitive and good-looking map interface is core to my educational mission, and Mapbox's tools have made this possible.

Team leader Information Technology and Services Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/19/2023 "Excellent mapping service" 5/5 What do you like best about Mapbox? Free mapping service up to at least 200,000 requests per API. I have been using it for years and find it to be an excellent service. Simple to use, I never had to contact support, I always used the documentation and it always worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mapbox? I've been using it for years and I don't see any aspect that I don't like, what they could do is increase functionality with reverse geocode, it would be spectacular. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mapbox solving and how is that benefiting you? For the system I have integrated, MAPBOX is integrated as one of the alternative visualization maps. Customers on my system can choose which of the maps they want to use and mapbox is used with some frequency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 6/7/2023 "Navigating New Horizons with Mapbox" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Mapbox? I like about Mapbox is its stunning visual design. The maps are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional. The attention to detail in the map elements, such as road markings, landmarks, and terrain, creates an immersive and engaging navigation experience. Whether I'm exploring a new city or planning a road trip, Mapbox provides me with a visually appealing and intuitive interface to navigate through unfamiliar territories. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Mapbox? One area where Mapbox could improve is in terms of its pricing structure. While the platform offers a generous free tier and flexible pricing plans, the cost of scaling up can be a concern for some users, particularly for businesses with extensive mapping needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Mapbox solving and how is that benefiting you? Traditional mapping platforms often provide limited customization options, restricting users' ability to tailor maps to their specific needs. Mapbox addresses this by offering extensive customization capabilities through Mapbox Studio. Mapbox excels in providing real-time and dynamic data, such as traffic updates, weather conditions, and public transportation information. By integrating this data into their applications, businesses can offer accurate and up-to-date information to their users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Mapbox we can easily manage our datasets, as well as access a variety of third-party data sources. Mapbox also offers tileset management features, which allow us to create custom map tiles.
