"A great Geolocation solution"

5/5

What do you like best about PlotProjects?

For us, the product worked very well, we are able to create marketing campaings and reach our customers as they entered, exited or stayend more than a specific period of time within the radius of the geofence. We were also able to understand how many of our users we passing by the geofences that we created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PlotProjects Demo - Heatmap of app visits

PlotProjects shows you where your app users are visiting locations in the USA.

PlotProjects Demo - Map of the geofences/points of interest

All the geofences uploaded in India. When your app users visits a geofence a notification is sent or a visit to that geolocation is measured. (for example shop visits.)

Once you subscribed and added the geofences and notifications you want to send when your app users visit a location, the openings page when you login looks like this.

You can get detailed data on the locations/geofences/pois you have defined.

You can define audiences by setting up geofences and learning more about your app users. You can export the data to your marketing automation platform or DSP for better targeted messages.

You can test which notifications work best and create the highest clickthrough rate to the app or conversions to the stores/geofences.

"Dwell time and cooling off periods are great features"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PlotProjects?

Dwell time is very useful for prompting action once in a venue.

Cooling off periods means that you don't spam with too many notifications.

No complaints about battery life implications.

Helpful guides for getting opt-ins.

Out of all the options this was by far the best. Pricing was a bit high before but they've now made it much more accessible. We're on their growth plan and it has everything we need.

I was really concerned about battery usage causing iOS to advise people to delete our app but this hasn't been the case. It's worked well and we just need to make sure we use it all, as they keep updating the portal with more and more features. When our team is large enough, I'm sure our dedicated data analysts and marketing professionals will have a field day with all that it has to offer - even identifying commuters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlotProjects?

Even with their help, getting opt-ins is tricky. And keeping people opted in to both location and notification, when iOS is particularly aggressive with prompting people to not do so. Despite this, PP is still the best geo-fence option I know out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlotProjects:

Overall, happy that we switched and here to stay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We previously used PP to prompt users to take a photo of a receipt. We now use it to prompt users to go into one of our venues when they walk past.

We have sent over 1000 notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complete solution for closing the shopping funnel"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PlotProjects?

Full featured SDK; geofences, beacons, and localized (and context aware) push notifications. This along with ease of setup, dedicated support manager, PLotProjects is the complete solution.

Geolocation is not only essential for our users in App experience, but crucial in completing the shopping funnel; browse, select, visit store, and purchase. There is no going back to pre-PlotProjects.

Custom reports and analytics for our own needs. The team at PlotProjects seamlessly integrated with our S3 layer to deliver analytics in near real time. In addition, the ease of updating our geofences through web-hooks makes maintaining geofences a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlotProjects?

Custom geofences are key to our business, but setup would be made easier with a database of known locations that can be easily configured (e.g. every Walmart location) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlotProjects:

If you're looking for an accurate geofencing solution (that is beacon ready) look no further. In addition to the ease of setup and price point, there is no competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main problem is tracking the user journey from browsing, to selecting items, to visiting store and making a purchase. The accuracy of locating a user is key to our analytics team when reporting store visits and attribution, and feedback from out clients couldn't be better. The increase in accuracy we have seen from our in house solution to using PlotProjects is far and above our expectations.

In addition, context aware push notifications with custom deep links (into mobile applications) is a must for user experience. Is one thing to know where a user is, but to engage them with not only appropriate messaging, but navigation directly to the source of interest is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great platform to introduce your company to geo marketing"

5/5

What do you like best about PlotProjects?

I like the live preview of my notifications, the summary grid, and the google maps integration from where I can easily create geo fences. I love the possibility to get heatmaps and user profiles.

I love the way you can choose a time span and the possibility of override the global start and end dates with those time spans.

Another think I love is that you don't have to wait too long for your campaign to deliver properly so I makes PP one of the best solutions I know.

The visual feedback of the notification message is a plus to realize how your message will look after you finish the setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlotProjects?

It was a little bit confusing at the beginning and it happened to me again when PP introduced user profiles. I would prefer some kind of video introduction or a visual aid to discover by myself the new functionalities.

Profile configuration is not easy to understand in the begining

I would like to have a quick access to heatmaps

I would be nice to have quick access to make filters or profiles at the time you setup your campaign. It would be nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlotProjects:

I fully recommend an introductory session with their customer success managers. They are very kind and they always want to help you.

For me it was a little bit difficult to understand contextual pages and user profiles. I just never got into it and I think it was because of my knowledge on those functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main benefit we realized is the possibility to know our customers a lot more that we used before. Knowing their behavior in terms of location profiles was very useful to us. That way we had a very valuable insight of who our customers are and what they may expect from our service.

One of the problems we solved was to know exactly were our customer used to be on different times of the day. That way we were able to plan a better BTL campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ease to configure and deploy tool for any geolocalization need you have"

5/5

What do you like best about PlotProjects?

It's a full and easy to use platform for geolocalization campaigns that also help us to measure what our users are doing.

We use it to track our users in offline campaigns like in music festivals using geofencing and beacons also.

We went from zero to full deploy in less than a month.

The support and service from the PlotProjects team is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlotProjects?

Asking the users for the location permission is something that Apple reviews A LOT, and sometimes is difficult to make them sure why our App need that permission. As nothing in the App appears using maps, they can't recognize that you use localization to give them some service.

Sometimes you need more accuracy in the geofences, but we know that sometimes is something physically impossible, but the team is working to make it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlotProjects:

Don't hesitate to use it... the price/convenience ratio is excellent.

It's a must have for any App that pretend to be user oriented.

The service is excellent and the platform is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Knowing where are users locate in a specific time so we can launch offline campaigns.

Send geolocalized messages to our clients, even using it to send Push Notifications when the other platform don't work XD

We can know when our clients live and where they work or which school they attend just analyzing geolocalization by a different hour in the day.

Connectivity with beacons to improve the measurements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Polotprojects geolocated collaboration for business."

4.5/5

What do you like best about PlotProjects?

Geolocated experience is important for communication and monitoring of users, it's important to know that we are going to communicate and deliver the best possible message at the exact moment and this tool helps us to do the job better. We improve communication strategies based on the locations of our users, Plot has helped us understand basic things such as where our users live and work based on their algorithm and the permanence of the device in the same area. We have reached our public with information and communication relevant to them and products or services close to their location with discounts, offers or news that may affect them in their daily life. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlotProjects?

If we could get a more granular experience in terms of geozones we could improve notification performance and understanding user mobility, 50 meters is too large to be the minimum radius. Sometimes the load of the analytics session and geofeces view takes time to display the information. An improvement could be to implement an image in the geolocated push, since it has a greater opening number and CTR% Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlotProjects:

The purpose and the need to know the mobility of its users, to know that communicating at that time greatly helps the growth of the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have understood mobility over time and the season in our city, we have also improved geolocated communications to our users, delivering the right message, in the right place and at the right time. A high point is the accompaniment and communication in the updates they make in the system, they are very clear in the explanations and the support collaboration is excellent.

"Perfect solution for location based campaigns"

5/5

What do you like best about PlotProjects?

The richness of functionality, easy and quick onboarding process including the installation of the PlotProjects SDKs; the GUI to setup of Geofences and Notifications, the availability and expertise of the dedicated client support manager Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlotProjects?

I like everything, but one small thing: there are too frequent SDK changes. To keep track with the new features, there is a need to keep up-to-date with our App as well which can be an overhead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PlotProjects:

Contact them directly, you will receive professional advise from them how you could use it. Their pricing is also very affordable for startups Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are a UK based startup with an App having wine related content. We would like to target our App users with offers that are available in the supermarket they enter into / frequently visit or are in the near vicinity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Location Provider that is still growing"

4/5

What do you like best about PlotProjects?

Immediate Customer Support via Slack & Email.

Responsive to requests for unique use cases.

There are some really good features such as Location Based Notifications, A/B Tests, Audiences etc. We haven't utilized them yet. But they look promising. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PlotProjects?

The expectation for accuracy of dwells was higher with utilization of Stop Detection, Home & Work Detection, Accelerometer and Gyroscope. This was our understanding through initial sales conversations. Once we got into details, we realized these features are not necessarily used to increase the accuracy of dwells.

There is a small data loss during the calculation of dwell events due to enter and exit events being sent at different batches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
