Overall Satisfaction with Mapbox

Working at a geospatially focused company we have found a lot of ways to use Mapbox. From custom maps for use on the web or on Tableau to building out visuals to SDK research and integration. Mapbox helps us mainly on the data visualization side of things and allows us to visualize large data sets efficiently.

Pros

  • Documentation is clean, easy to read, and very well organized which makes it easy to get going or learn something new
  • The online user interface makes it quick and easy to edit maps, upload new datasets, view analytics, or get API keys
  • Great integrations with Tableau and easy to develop for Android, iOS, or Web

Cons

  • Can sometimes struggle to load very large datasets but this is understandable
  • Learning how to design maps is a bit of a learning curve
  • Fantastic presentation and quality allows for some great user experiences
  • Scalable and seamless overall
  • Pricing is fair and clear making it a very transparent process
There are not a lot of direct competitors in the Mapbox space except for really Google Maps/Earth. There are definitely pros and cons between the two, but overall I would say that Mapbox provides a finer level of control and really allows to create as you want without any major restrictions.
Mapbox is great if you have a BI or Data Visualization problem while working with either large datasets or you want a high level of control on the design of your geospatial data. Also fantastic options for integrating maps onto your website or into your Android or iOS app. Basically, if you need a map in any shape, way, or form and you want a lot of detailed control over it, Mapbox is the way to go.
