    CartoDB is great for generating geographic visualizations of data where the geographies are well-defined. It would be great for analysts to develop visualizations of data with spatial elements. That being said, the software is limited if you want to do any real data munging or analysis, as it can be cumbersome to use and there isn't a great interface for actually saving the results of different manipulations (you can save it as a new file, but it's hard to do version control, etc.). I would recommend preparing the data outside of CartoDB and only using the tool for visualization once the data is well prepared.

    Pros
    CARTO
    • It is amazing at allowing control of the visualizations. It takes a little bit to get used to but the combination of full SQL queries and CSS-like styling is very powerful.
    • The services are built on a robust stack of open source software. I was able to build a standalone instance of CartoDB relatively easily (after some research and trial and error).
    • Server side map rendering is key for handling large data sets. The way the images are returned makes them very easy to catch in an HTTP cache to minimize the hits to the server. The interactivity that CartoDB has built in makes this completely transparent to the end user, they can click on parts of the static images and be presented with popups or change map styles. It's a very clever implementation.

    Cons
    CARTO
    • I don't like the new Builder UI as it has been tough to explain. Other than that I have no complaints.

    • The LocalClarity of 24 months ago and even of 12 months ago, is not the LocalClarity of today. Their ability to listen and adapt to their clients needs is truly remarkable. We will always find the need for improvement with any solution we use but LocalClarity's is near perfect and I have no doubt, based on my personal interactions with the LocalClarity team, the solution will continue to be near perfect.

    None of the above keep up with LocalClarity. That's the reason we decided to partner with LocalClarity and we're proud to have done so. It's one thing to use the solution for yourself but when you engage a leading brand client you already have a relationship with to a solution, making a mistake is not an option...and not once have we felt we made a mistake introducing LocalClarity to any of our existing clients.

    Return on Investment
    CARTO
    • CartoDB definitely saves a lot of time when creating visualizations. Previously, I would use different software and have to make edits manually (or just create the visualizations manually to start with). I would say that the software definitely cuts the time required to create certain visualizations by a half or two-thirds.
