IP2Location vs. MapInfo Pro

I have described our usage scenario previously

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.

• We want to know IP ranges too so that we can block the whole IP range if we want.

• The 3D capability in Datamine is a little outdated and hard to use
• The labelling can sometimes be a little hit and miss

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.

Based on my experiences IP2Location is the best of those which ones I've already tried.

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
