"ERDAS Imagine Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Octave Imagine?

I was pleasantly surprised when I started using ERDAS Imagine, having previously used ArcGIS and IDRISI in university for all remote sensing. ERDAS Imagine is specifically designed for remote sensing purposes, and as such one of its main benefits is the speed at which it can handle large raster files. Other favourites within the software are the Spatial Modeller function which provides a platform to build your own queries and use again later - really helpful on repetitive tasks!

Imagine provides a perfect base for the beginner to highly advanced 'remote senser' with its ample amount of tools within a highly user friendly environment (I love the ribbon interface). the help button is also very useful providing helpful run throughs of specific functions.

So in summary, my best points are:

- Speed

- Spatial Modeller

- Variety of tools and functions

- User friendly

- Help tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Octave Imagine?

There are certain more technical features that are not yet included within the spatial modeller, however I am hoping that the new release may fix some of this. Sometimes it can be hard to find the button you are looking for, however this can be overcome with the help/search function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Octave Imagine solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to create specific workspaces for colleagues who are not familiar with remote sensing enhances the usability. Those not so familiar are able to use the workspace that has only the buttons they need - therefore they don't have to spend ages going through all of the buttons to find the correct one!
