Overall Satisfaction with Maptitude

As a user of Maptitute for the past 10 years, I can say that I have been continually impressed at the improvements that have been made through each iteration of the software. I use the software primarily for business/retail applications, institutional research, and logistics. Maptitude's greatest strength is the software’s ability to crunch through “big data” sets and display that data spatially in just a few steps. Maptitude is a great alternative to ArcMap, as all of the ArcMap extensions (i.e. spatial analyst, network analyst, etc.) are all built-in for a fraction of the cost.
Using Maptitude, I can easily create 3-D maps, heat/hot spot maps, Thiessen Polygons (Areas of Influence), drive-time rings, flow maps (desire lines and spider maps), territory mapping, and spatial overlays (tagging features from one layer to another), trade area/site selection, and much more. I can also easily bring in shapefiles, imagery, and terrain data from a variety of sources. Maptitude has a robust geocoder built-in, that can instantly locate data that you have stored in Excel, Google Sheets, Access, or other SQL formats. Maps can be exported in a variety of formats that interact nicely with the Microsoft Office Suite environment.
As one who has taught Business GIS courses, the beauty of Maptitude is the low learning curve, which allows my students to focus on the analysis and results of data and less time on basic GIS software fundamentals. For the price ($695), Maptitude, is hands down the best desktop GIS software on the market.
