Overall Satisfaction with Mapbox

We use Mapbox on and off in terms of creating custom maps when required. It provides a good alternative for the stock standard Google or Bing maps and allows for customization as well as branding towards specific company requirements. We have a lot of data that can be visualized using geographic methods, and we don't do enough of this.

Pros

  • One place to handle colors, fonts and style information.
  • Easy to use dataset interface and editor.
  • Immediate previews of the map style generated.

Cons

  • The product is not always that easy to use, aimed at professionals understanding colors and palettes etc.
  • Being a full cloud product it can be complicated working with the interface when your connectivity is not great.
  • Tutorials and samples could be more visual and could cover more ideas on how to use Mapbox.
  • I don't think this is a fair question for me to answer. Apart from our time we have not invested anything into Mapbox - so from that perspective the ROI is great! Great returns without any investment!
If you have to create specific maps that cater for very specific style, color, font and similar layout requirements this is a useful tool. The opportunity to import your dataset from latitude and longitude information, see those on your created map, and add or edit the data set including attributes is a great plus.
