MapBusinessOnline Reviews

We needed a mapping package for planning locations for events. This product was easy to use and get going quickly. It allows us to upload a large file of addresses and then maps the people by zip code. So we can easily see the concentrations of people to plan the best location for an event. There is a subscription to pay, but it was pretty reasonable and they are quick to reply when you have a question. We are still using it and find it very useful. In fact, I think we are under-utilizing it and need to train more people on it .

It is internet based and you are uploading your data to a web site, so I get a little nervous about our data being hacked. We removed names and just left ID numbers to get around this issue.

*The customer service was amazing! Cusotmer rep. was such a great support and super responsive. He never declined a screen sharing session and answered every email within a half hour. He was always happy to help me get unstuck. It was really only small details I needed him for because the program was very easy to use and the YouTube videos and help website covered most any question that came up.
*Now that I have it down, I see many more business uses for us.
*The price was very good for the product capabilities and the fact that the support was so good made the value amazing. Most companies would invoice you for the consulting or training.

*I wish it included Mexico.
*It would be nice to be able to combine both the zip code and county feature when making territories, instead of being committed to one or the other. There were times combining would have made the work faster.
*Better options for hiding everything when I only want to print part of the map. Too many filters required in addition to hiding map layers and it just wasn't as clean as I wanted.

I have used this software for my personal drone business mapping my clients around the state of FL, but we also started using at my day job to map our factories across the globe. This allows us to keep track of factories and map our spend with each - this allows us to better pick new factories when it comes to consolidating freight with eachother

The price @ $300 is well worth the spend - but considering it is basically a Google Maps add on tool - you would think Google would try something like this & make it free (w/ small ads)

Ease of use - creating a map takes just minutes. We also share maps within our team, but having the ability to share a map with a non-license holder is a nice perk!

I wish that it would allow for more than 1K territories, but we've found a workaround that meets our needs.

It helps to easily identify the big dealers which helps to add in sales volume to your map. It is very easy to use and it is user friendly too. It has lots of features which a user can utilize to maximize their business growth.

The tutorials to learn the software were pretty hard to understand rather than that everything was good.

This software is efficient and reliable when putting maps together. It optimizes routes so that sales people can cover large areas in a more timely manner. I like the amount of information you can include in the points of interest as well.

It can be confusing when you first start learning it. There is a learning curve that can get frustrating.

It is very intuitive and easy to use; I like how you can easily zoom in on a territory. ZIP code overlay is useful.

It would be nice if the street and ZIP code views were better integrated. I would like to see where streets are delineated.

The option to plot multiple layer is the best, I am able to plot my sales information with US Census data.

Ability to not be able to filter data on fly. I have to manually filter my data file and reupload it

The customer support for Map Business Online is off the charts! I am only just beginning to use their software so can't tell you all about it, but it was very easy to purchase and get started. Even more important - they are extremely responsive. We needed answers about compatibility before purchasing, and then wanted to use our own art as the pushpin. While I'm sure that information is available in their tutorials, they responded to my emails before I could search out the answer myself. Another feature I'm happy about is that I purchased the 3 month version, but if my client gets their job, I'll need to continue using this, and I can upgrade then and have my initial investment credited. I highly recommend Map Business Online.

I haven't used this long enough to have any cons. It's possible there aren't enough variations of map styles, but I could always export the data points and overlay on my own art if I want something more stylized.

It is easy to add addresses and use map layers. Great for a sales person or an office employee looking to stay organized.

Some features seemed a little old and could use an upgrade. It was easy to use but still a bit outdated.

Relatively short learning curve to get started. I was able to view a YouTube video and quickly plot.

The price. I didn't need all the bells and whistles. They offered a 10% academic discount though which did help.

Easy service to use with most of the functions streamlined! Customer service is extremely helpful and easy to connect to.

Sometimes the data that I input will lag, however once it is fully updated the features work as expected.

The ability to have multiple layers which can be made transparent by %.
The data import was easy.
Love export of data after territories were assigned.

I would like it if the export jpegs were saved online.
