    Suitable for all organisations that are required to collate, store and generate borehole site logs in a timely and orderly fashion. Can also be used for the storage of .ags data if setup correctly. Handles multiple projects well but is not without hiccups when used regularly. I believe it is possible to draw section views however have not done so myself.

    MapInfo Pro is great for creating and editing spatial data and creating both simple and complex maps. I find it easy to locate tools now that the software has transitioned to a ribbon based toolbar. I also love that you can expand on functionality in MapInfo by adding third party tools as well.

    The tool is reliable for geographic and spatial analysis .It provide strong capability in data visualisation and regional planning. User interface is not very intuitive and needs improvement . Performance wise slow for handling large data . Overall it is highly usable for experienced professionals but on serious note end users experience needs improvement.

    MapInfo Pro customer support has always been quick and very helpful with any issues I have had with the software. They usually get back to you about your enquiry within 24 hours and they also tend to follow up to make sure your issue was resolved. I find it refreshing to be able to contact their experts quickly and easily.

    I find Holebase much more user-friendly and intuitive although have not used for as long as gINT. It seems to handle the data in a much more reliable way and I've yet to find pesky bugs. Whilst gINT feels like a polished interface to what is in essence a simple database, Holebase feels like a bespoke piece of software.

    I find ArcGIS more comprehensive but with a more confusing interface; however this may be because I learned MapInfo first. Surfer and Global Mapper do more specific things better; but MapInfo is a good overall product for sophisticated GIS
