"Best tool for customized analysis"
4/5
What do you like best about Octave GeoMedia?

As a Data analyst, customization is my priority. Geomedia gives me the best options to customise my analysis and even my sql queries. Also saveable queries and detailed visualization options are giving me the power to create great looking maps. Easy Raster management is another advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave GeoMedia?

Data management is not user friendly. Going through many steps just for adding data to workspace is not good. CAD export is another flaw, most of the time exported CAD files are not the results I wanted so I use another software for CAD export. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Making thematic maps and spatial analysis with GeoMedia"
2/5
What do you like best about Octave GeoMedia?

Raster and vector data analysis. It facilitates site location analysis. It also provides GeoMedia Advantage also provides the ability to generate contours, shaded relief and color coded elevations. It is easy to make thematic maps. The tool of smart snap is very useful. While trying to digitize features, smart snapping makes it easier to visualize the objects and connect your vertices during edits. With the snapping tool it is possible to snap the objects by intersection, element, tangent, midpoint, vertex, origin, end point.

In addition to that, the labeling is a very important feature for planners and people who use maps and also this process takes so much time. But it is very easy to do this in GeoMedia because they never tend to end up in the right position or size proportionally. In order to solve this problem, GeoMedia developed a tool to label elements on a map with ease and in an intuitive way. All i need to do is set rules for what do i want to wirte to the labels to be placed on your map. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave GeoMedia?

It is not quite well known in my work environment and the price is high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

integration of many datasets/ formats (import),

user interface in general

I like the interface very much becausr the design is really nice and the buttons and icons are well designed so that you can easily navigate through the different menus and understand the function behind the buttons Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave GeoMedia?

a few Menus, icons and shortcuts, a few functions for databases and calculation of certain values (incl. certain measurements:

When I was using the software then I was facing certain problems especially switching from one functionality to another one or jumping from the graphical interface where I was working with the map jumping too the geodatabase or the jumping from the Geo database to the graphical interface.

Besides a few problems with databases and import of CAD-files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Why I love and hate Geomedia"
5/5
What do you like best about Octave GeoMedia?

Analytical functions and Functional attributes of Geomedia and the way how Geomedia operate with data. Capability to make chain of query's (pipeline) is unique in GIS software world for last 25 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave GeoMedia?

There is no easy way for something which will be between scripting and plugin development (functional attributes do quite good job but it doesn't help sometimes). It is sometime unbelievably slow and it crash more then it is acceptable. Hexagon does not invest money in development of most advance softer in GIS world, it look like that development is stooped on middle of process. They sale some add-on/plugin with functionalities which exist today as basic function in all other GIS softer for ex. print to pdf. Development documentation do not exist at all and support is so poor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
