eSpatial

Great Customer Support

Kommentare: The customer support is fantastic. I wish that every company serviced their customers like eSpatial. I reached out to them on multiple projects, they have been very responsive. They ask the right questions to get an understanding of what you need to accomplish with the software. Their overall knowledge of the practical way to use the software of the software is phenomenal.

Vorteile:

The overall easy of use and customer support.

Nachteile:

It doesn't currently integrate into Sugar CRM

eSpatial is a lifesaver!

Kommentare: I have had nothing but success with eSpatial. When previous products were limited in their abilities (map sharing, dynamic maps, etc.) eSpatial has set out to crush it from day one. Any improvement that I've suggested has eventually been implemented, and the customer service/support is TOP NOTCH.

Vorteile:

Working in positions where I need to move fast and provide accurate answers, eSpatial is hands-down a winner amongst every option out there.

Nachteile:

Literally the only downside I have right now is the ability to free-form draw custom territories that are not based upon an existing, pre-loaded dataset (Cities, counties, states, ZIP codes, etc.) Governmental ideas of a "region" or a "territory" sometimes make little or no sense.

Excellent support and customer service

Kommentare: I had issues with uploading data and making the map work in the way required for our business. I found the process quite complicated, however, the Support Mapping Specialist was just excellent!. She took the time to ensure our data was in a workable format, talked me through each step in the process, and made sure the end result was exactly what we needed.

Vorteile:

Being able to drill down to specific postcode sectors.

Nachteile:

I think uploading the data and creating the initial map was quite complicated. But the online support was very good.

Great Product!

Kommentare: This product is great and super easy to use. This has cut our route design timing in half. The customer service is fantastic!

Vorteile:

Easy to setup routes and sequences for delivery.

Nachteile:

Wish that it would allow you to setup default templates (labels, icons, etc..)

Engel & Völkers Americas

Vorteile:

At E&V we use this software as a sales tool to show prospects their "territory" first hand. We also are able to create maps using address points to make it easier for our sales team to navigate larger areas of the US to make better use of their time.

Nachteile:

I wish we could download maps using a KLM file so we could recreate them easier on other platforms.

Amazing Product. Otherwordly Support.

Kommentare: I use eSpatial to plot sales by zip codes for retailers and their competitors. The mapping helps me to better focus digital advertising, decide y/n on cable zones, and to measure effectiveness of changes in media plans. Clients love it, because . . . well, the map has life. A spreadsheet does not.

Vorteile:

It's so easy to learn! Yet, the depth of the software is such that it one can produce extremely data-rich mapping. Vs others I've tried it's actually pretty intuitive. Let's put it this way: I just now finished my first un-aided sales comparison mapping for a client. Took me just 20 minutes. BUT FORGET THE SOFTWARE FOR A SEC. The support team is like something I've never seen before. Even before I signed up for a trial, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] invited me to joinme to give me a basic tutor. Live chat is great. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] have promptly answered every dumb question I've had - patiently and clearly. (Hoping I'm not leaving anyone out here) And the onboarding was excellent.

Nachteile:

If I REALLY had to pick at something? Graphically it's a little clunky. Getting all the labels to read takes some finagling and fiddling. Could use 2-3 more font choices, IMO

eSpatial is easy to use, maps are visually appealing, and the customer support is fantastic.

Kommentare: eSpatial allows us to create detailed, informative maps of our movement. We can see the locations we already cover as well as gaps in coverage that we can work to fill in. Our members rave about how helpful and interesting our maps are and we are constantly looking for more ways to use maps to illustrate our work.

Vorteile:

I like the modern feel of the software, as well as the ease of use. Other geospatial tools can do a lot, but the results look dated and hard to interpret, plus there can be a steep learning curve. eSpatial, in contrast, is intuitive and the maps are easy to follow, so the experience is great for both me as the creator and for our audience. Any time I have had a question or concern, the support team has responded very quickly and addressed all of my needs with the software.

Nachteile:

I would like to see more built-in boundary maps for areas of interest. However, any suggestions for improvement that I have had over the years have been taken seriously by eSpatial support and I have seen all of my suggestions come to fruition in the 4 years I've worked with them.

Great Collaborative platform!

Vorteile:

I run a small team that responds to inbound leads with the purpose of qualifying and setting up meetings for our Sales partners. With the higher volume and tight turnaround times we deal with, a collaborative plugin like eSpatial is invaluable. The ability for Sales & Marketing power users to view and collaborate on the same project directly in SFDC & in real-time is a game-changer. I highly recommend the team package and the time savings is well worth the investment!

Nachteile:

Nothing to add here. They seem to be pretty good about releasing updates so even if you've got something that you'd prefer to change they'll more than likely get to it quickly.

This was the easiest decision. Halfway through a demo I knew we couldn't afford to NOT get eSpatial.

Kommentare: An all-in-one tool with powerful analytics, a user-friendly interface, and a great value.

Vorteile:

It's intuitive, with a high level of customization, ease of reporting features, ability to support large data sets, ability to export easily, etc.

Nachteile:

I'm a brand new user, but I'm wondering if there's the ability to overlay a search of all businesses in a specific industry. If you could easily search "salons", "restaurants", "mechanics", "movie theaters", etc. to overlay with your own data points, it would be an invaluable retail tool as well.

Great mapping tool

Kommentare: Our company has a recognition program and I used eSpatial for a mapping project to show where the recipients are located by state. It was simple to use, quick, and the end result looks nice.

Vorteile:

The software is pretty easy to use, even without spending a lot of time in tutorials.

Nachteile:

Limited customization, but I was using the free version so I was still happy with what I was able to accomplish.

This is the only system I've found to accomplish our needs

Vorteile:

The ability to visualize data on a map meeting the needs of senior leadership presentations.

Nachteile:

It is very robust, so can be a bit confusing. Fortunately, their support is very knowledgeable and able to help solve complex problems quickly.

Amazing piece of software, so versatile and intuitive

Vorteile:

Its ease of use an how fast it is, constantly finding new uses and features. Espatial is constantly evolving and the support is amazing

Really easy to use and very impressive

Kommentare: Use this several times now with different clients. They were all blown away by the visual representation of data they could not otherwise understand.

Vorteile:

SO SIMPLE to use and does exactly what it says on the tin

Nachteile:

None

Maps for sales

Kommentare: Been good

Vorteile:

Support is quick and very knowledgeable

Nachteile:

Degree of learning to get going after several starts

eSpatial Review (2/2/17)

Kommentare: eSpatial helped our nonprofit collaborative of 10 - 12 organizations map out our geographic footprint both here in the United States and abroad. We were planning to spend thousands and thousands of dollars in order to create such a dynamic map, and eSpatial helped us do just that at a fraction of the cost. The support staff at eSpatial have been very helpful, and have gone above & beyond normal customer service. They are really invested in seeing your project be a success. I would recommend eSpatial to anyone who'd like to visually map out their organizational footprint.

Vorteile:

The ease with which you can map out your geographic footprint.

Nachteile:

The database library is a little difficult to navigate. I'd like it to be a little easier to access all my maps - through a table of contents of sorts.

Outstanding Product & Client Support

Kommentare: My new job requires me to regularly run zip code analysis of our brick and mortar locations against potential new client data. Our Company had been using other mapping software for many years, so I was excited to research and find eSpatial. I was very leery at first, as I am not the most savvy of software products. I could not have been more wrong. I was able to create a free trial account and chat immediately with online support which got me started right away. Albeit not the fastest mapper, eSpatial Support had me up and running in a little over a few conference calls and demos. Kevin O'Brien went on to conduct a demo with one of my executives which allowed us to learn even more about its capabilities. We are excited to start using eSpatial to make better business decisions. I recommend this product to the most novice of users after researching about 4 other competitors.

Good Investment

Kommentare: very useful tool that I'm using for territory distribution. we are a fast growing company and in the past couple of months we hired numerous AEs and there's a continuous need to re-arrange and update territories using geo or TAM; and this helped a lot. Customer service is very responsive as well!

Vorteile:

eSpatial is pretty easy to use; it helps me visualize the data and also make changes to territories and see the changes in real time.

Nachteile:

I couldn't find any cons as of right now.

Great subtitution for MapPoint

Kommentare: We need only part of what this mapping program can do. So far, it has exceeded our expectations. There is the cut and paste feature we were hoping it would have, i would imagine that upgrade will happen eventually. The customer service is second to none. Looking forward to working with Espatial and mapping our yearly 30,000 locations!

Vorteile:

The ability to label the pin points and the complete ease of use.

Nachteile:

Would like the option of cutting and pasting parts of spreadsheet, instead of uploading the entire spreadsheet. Our mapping information is divided into separate tabbed sheets on Xcel. I would like to open the file, copy the addresses I want to use for a map, and paste it into Espatial.

Excited to get started

Kommentare: I started my search of a mapping software being accustomed to MapPoint trying to find something with more options. After evaluating a few other programs I found Espatial most user friendly. When I tested it for a while and need to speak to a representative. Kevin McDonald was who I spoke with and after listening to all what I worked with and been looking at he skipped past a lot of sales of Espatial and all the things it can do. Kevin, got straight to the point of my needs and was very helpful while not wasting time on things unimportant to me. He was very responsive and great to deal with. Thank you, Kevin!

Vorteile:

Still early to work with it. But, the first thing I can say is it is very user friendly as a novice.

Nachteile:

Too early to reply

Powerful product capabilities and even better customer service

Kommentare: While Espatial's mapping and data visualization platform is outstanding, the biggest differentiator that has made a difference for our projects is their customer support. Not only is our account manager accessible and responsive for questions, but he is also curious, determined and creative in solving our specific mapping needs. Besides our account manager, the online chat support has made a huge difference whenever I get stuck with how to solve my specific mapping challenges. On the product side, Espatial has a clean and intuitive interface with continually evolving capabilities to meet nearly any mapping need. I highly recommend Espatial to any organization who wants to create new insights from quickly visualizing complex data on a map.

Such a precious tool!

Kommentare: As a small business, it's becoming increasingly important for us to track our sale clusters. The equestrian business is not similar to any other industry and there isn't much data readily available out there, so we have been building our own databases to capture the information we need to better serve our clients. ESpacial has made it very easy for us to use the data we've captured.

Vorteile:

Visuals are great. Software is easy to navigate and learn.

Exceptional Customer Service

Kommentare: I cannot say enough about the real-time support I receive as well as the data output. Saves us time and money and makes us more strategic.

Vorteile:

The ease of use, and the customer service.

Nachteile:

Nothing that I can think of, it has all of the options I have needed.

eSpatial Initial Review

Kommentare: Awesome,
Meetings were a breeze to setup, they were prompt, accessing the meetings was very simple and directed right to the point. They make this process of selecting their software a snap. If you are in the market, I highly recommend taking the free trial for a test drive. We had a great session with Kevin and Ciarra and they presented us with the programs as if it was tailored for us only. A lot of hard questions were asked and they answered and showed us each of them. The buying decision was easy, and we closed on it after our initial meeting. Look forward to building on this and creating success for our team in the field.

Easy to learn, See quick results

Kommentare: I enjoyed working with eSpatial. They helped me set-up an automated process to upload customer locations (datasets) daily. They walked me through the process and when we found a problem in their software it was quickly resolved. I really appreciate a company that admits to a problem (bug) and fixes the problem. That's how to build a solid platform!

Vorteile:

The uploader tool was easy to setup and use. I liked the logging.

Nachteile:

The uploader setup tool closed when the save button was pushed. This isn't a big deal, but I like to save often.

Great product with few areas to improve that will certainly happen in the near future

Kommentare: eSpatial is a great product. The data upload interface is easy to manage. It does have a few areas in which it could improve such as allowing one to modify preset values that cannot be customized: font size (would help to be able to enter desired font size instead of picking from the limited choice), base maps (transparency would help), and area of zooms (i.e., you get 75% or 100% but not 81% even with zoom tool so I had to play around with my browser's zoom to get it right after a few tries). These are minor issues and with practice my maps have come out progressively better. Also, the technical support has been great! They offer a personal tutorial and my experience is that they have been patient and understanding - key when someone is learning. I will continue using this product and would recommend it to others.
