Best Digital Geospatial Mapping and Cloud Hosting Service
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of access and speed. For a digital mapping platform, Carto is a powerhouse of a client that is both intuitive and efficient (in time and resources). I am able to upload and operate datasets quickly (along with exporting full projects); and, customize the features with relative comfort - including adding and removing without too much complication. It is comparatively the best platform I've used in the years I've been mapping, and they have been among the most helpful hands on assistance when it comes to snafus while working.
What do you dislike about the product?
The most significant critique I have with CARTO is that I wish there could be more than eight layers when designing maps, as there are times when it's critical to juxtapose many different layers in identifying and judging patterns.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are utilizing CARTO to develop a digital repository for geospatial information that we are collecting in the field with partners, collaborators, and local residents for our social laboratory platform and programming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Others should recognize the scale of their work and discuss how that capacity can be addressed with the support team. It's best that we recognize and adapt in the beginning planning stages of engagement to make our progression with the software more efficient and optimal.

Excellent product!!!
What do you like best about the product?
Our organization appreciates that the platform makes very technical information available to the community since it creates a bridge between the traditional geographical systems and the communication part of this information.
It also has several and suitable options to categorize information, as well as to put layers, images, and text in the maps which is usually very difficult to incorporate in an online platform without coding.

What do you dislike about the product?
We would like the possibility to put more layers of information per map and more space for datasets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are making the geographical information that we are creating available and open to everyone interested in it, through our online website
Extremely intuitive design for interactive maps
What do you like best about the product?
As someone with relatively little GIS knowledge Carto has been an amazing tool. I've been able to create very interactive maps (with pop up windows, google street view pictures, filtering widgets, and multiple layers users can turn off and on) that have been very popular.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Carto had an easy analysis tool to filter one layer by another. It's very possible such a tool exists and I just havent been able to figure out how to do it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work at a small research non-profit interested in housing and urbanism in Seattle. We've used Carto to answer several questions about housing in Seattle and the maps have been very popular and easy ways for us to share visually some of our ideas on how to make housing more affordable.

What do you dislike about the product?
-It would be nice if there were some expanded analytics on map usage
-It would be helpful if there was additional documentation on how to use HTML or CSS in CARTO. Currently, users largely have to figure it out themselves.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously when communicating spatial data to stakeholders, we could only use static maps in paper or PDF form. With CARTO, we are able to produce web-based maps which has improved our ability to distribute these maps to a broader audience. Also, these interactive web-based maps also have improve audience engagement.
Location Intelligence at its best
What do you like best about the product?
CARTO is extremely easy to use, both for the beginning user and advanced user. With the introduction of the Builder, CARTO has made it easier for all users to tap into the potential of the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
The changes made to the legend section have made it a little harder to change the legends on the fly, or customize easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CARTO as a tool to illustrate questions and answers that we discover through our research. It allows us to easily display data to our audience in an interactive and meaningful way. CARTO has made it much easier for us to use maps as a policy tool.
A powerful interactive web mapping platform
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use yet very powerful. Within a couple of hours, you can get a beautifully looking web map live. No need for coding or mapping knowledge as long as you understand your data.The advanced styling and analysis tools can get you even further.
What do you dislike about the product?
The platform would be even better if it had some more advanced cartographic elements.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visualising the problem of landmines and explosive remnants of war in war torn countries as well as the positive impact of our clearance efforts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is worth getting it.
Carto the best for data mapping
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility with cartocss to create dynamic data maps that we use to visualize government data for investigative reporting purposes.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a bit of a learning curve for some of the terms, but the company's blog makes for pretty descent documentation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're able to visualize trends and problems in Chicago using government data. The maps generated from Carto are powerful visual aids on many of our investigative projects.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Read up on the blog and the cartocss. Definitely check out map designs done by others on either the company's blog or citylab.com.
Carto helps our local land trust preserve open space

Great product and support team!
Carto makes web based GIS and interactive mapping fun and easy
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to drag & drop various GIS data formats into their interface (they're auto-magically imported into a PostGIS database); robust set of APIs such as the SQL API; Javascript library for integration with web mapping libraries such as Leaflet and Google Maps.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new Builder interface takes some getting used to, but Carto has plenty of tutorials to help you learn.

Mapping environmental contamination in north Brooklyn, New York; mapping over 1 million automobile crashes and their attributes for all of New York City.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have large amounts of GIS data and either want to avoid or don't have access to other online services such as ArcGIS online, it's a great solution.
Great mapping platform for beginners and GIS alike
What do you like best about the product?
