The very best thing about MI Pro is the SQL dialog box. If you are prepared to delve into it you can achieve a remarkable amount with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MapInfo Pro? There is no general purpose scripting language supported by it. For example the number books available on Amazon for Mapbasic is 1 from 1996. In comparison Python goes to 75 pages. This limits the amount of customization or automation of business workflows that is available to an average advanced user. No easy way to share or save styles for customization of cartography. This is a dose in Habitat or Geology mapping where existing styles and exist and are expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering MapInfo Pro: Check does it meet your use cases: Ease of integration with WEB Services (WMS, WMTS,WFS)? Ease of integration and connecting with DBMS- can it support the logic of domains Data Driven pages-Can it do this Dynamic Text can it do this Metadata- will it support capturing of metadata and does it have Inspire compliant metadata standards Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wide range of GIS capabilities. Good for one off modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MapInfo Pro? I've used multiple versions of this software extensively at my current job, up till version 12.5. Haven't purchased a newer version, since we use mostly in house software now. Biggest problem is it's very slow at rendering maps and aggregating data. The method it uses for proportion sums, for instance, appears to rerun the proportion calculation even when running the same proportion across multiple data columns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering MapInfo Pro: If you're interested in MapInfo Pro, do a trial and see if the latest version is improved. We pretty much gave up on them after 12.5. It seemed Pitney Bowes bought them and forgot about them, although I can't speak to version 16. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MapInfo Pro solving and how is that benefiting you? Geographic market modeling. My work centers primarily around geographic market modeling. We used MapInfo for years to run all our models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about MapInfo Pro is that you can create maps that work completely offline and distribute them through the free MapInfo Proviewer software. The cost is a lot lower than other GIS software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MapInfo Pro? I dislike that the editing options and cartographic options are not as customizable as in other desktop GIS software such as ArcGIS Pro. Offline basemap options are severely limited and you have to pay extra for a lot of services that come free with other software. While the cost is a lot lower than other software, I think it's only worth it if you need low-cost offline maps. It is unclear whether the free viewer will still be supported in the future as well. I have heard mixed stories from their associates and companies representing them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering MapInfo Pro: Only use this if you need cheap maps that work offline on a PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MapInfo Pro solving and how is that benefiting you? We use MapInfo Pro because it works offline and there is a free viewer. There is a lot of cost savings in areas where there is no Internet access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Modals do a good job of walking users through the querying process, but the MapBasic code can be a huge time saver once you see how it is used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MapInfo Pro? UI can be a bit slow and clunky. Also, the learning curve is fairly steep (but that goes with any GIS tool). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering MapInfo Pro: It is definitely not the market leader in the GIS space. It seemed to be really strong in the 90s, but has fallen behind many alternatives now. It is sufficient for basic operations, but it isn't very flashy or especially easy or nice to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MapInfo Pro solving and how is that benefiting you? We have tackled GIS modeling problems with MapInfo Pro. There is no substitute for a GIS program.

Architectural stuff - Freelancer Architecture & Planning Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/8/2016 "mapping information ,, GIS ,, " 2/5 What do you like best about MapInfo Pro? how to map the database to the cordinate system and demonstraeing them on the map ,,, actully there is a lot of programs doing that , but there is a lot of features in here let us draw , edit and customize things , database and metadata which connected to the objects which located on map is very nice in this program . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MapInfo Pro? well , its a long list ,, inspite of a lot of flexebeilty with Mapbasic ,, there is a limitation when u use a network lecince ,, for example , hot keys , shortcust is suck in here , so i wrote a script which is good in my home ,, but i cant use it in my work because of the server thing , so if i put that in server it would affect all useres ,, more important is navigationnnnnnnnn in this program which is very very very bad ,, selcet , zoom , deselect , pan , every basic tool , need 3 or 4 clicks with mouse to do it , which can be sooo easy ,, i think its really not hard for the developer in there to develope the navigation system , they could just do it right , give more hot keys ,, like adobe photoshop or autocad ,,,i think they have a lot to deal with in this field . symbole , legende ,, maßstab ,, :( Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering MapInfo Pro: try the demo ,, or beta version first ,,, navigation are suck ,, illestrating the symbols and layout ,,, legende ,, alot of small things annouying me because its simple to fix or develop , and they just keep ignoring it , u should learn something in mapbasic which is a scripting language and can help a lot , the program can be customized , new tools that meet ur requierment ,, developing "plugins" can be done with mapbasic,, plotting and printg system need a lot of work too ,, test all these , if u satesfy ,, go for it ;) , Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
