"Accurate AIS Data, But Expensive"

3.5/5

What do you like best about MarineTraffic?

I like MarineTraffic for its very easy-to-interact-with user interface and the ease of extracting data from it. It provides accurate AIS data, and I find that compared to its competitors, it offers better partial details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MarineTraffic?

It's a very costly tool. Ever since its Kepler acquisition, it hasn't been the friendliest to work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"great customer experience"

5/5

What do you like best about MarineTraffic?

I love the ability to follow our vessels and get real time updates. Makes my job so much easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MarineTraffic?

Cost is a factor in everything. If you could add a couple other features like future track in my price point it would be a godsend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"As a station operator it is easy to set up and maintain and provides safety and location information"

5/5

What do you like best about MarineTraffic?

I am a monitoring station operator providing received information for other users. The system is very easy to set up and use. Having access to the location, speed and direction of local vessels of interest to myself or other local businesses help us to stay on schedule and be aware of any problems or delays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MarineTraffic?

I have not found anything that I don't like about Marine Traffic. We used to be able to view the monitoring stations on the map, and that is a little more difficult now, but it is only a minor inconvenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MarineTraffic solving and how is that benefiting you?

Marine Traffic is a vehicle traffic monitoring service. This includes large commercial vessels and indeed any vessel that would like to enable AIS transponders. Some uses are locating ships or even containers aboard a ship, or tracking the current location of fishing vessels or pleasure craft. Being able to know the current location of a fishing trawler from our local fleet and knowing the current course and speed help us to avoid possible interaction between the vessels.

"MarineTraffic and its database in real time"

5/5

What do you like best about MarineTraffic?

It provides the position in real time. It updates information for each ship. Serves and unifies everyone in its database. It's a web service, so you don't need to download it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MarineTraffic?

The service is paid, and although the initial plan is affordably priced, it is limited in many options. Since it is a web-based system, support is needed to meet the requirements, as it crashes on weak computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
