It’s impressive! User-friendly that delivers fast results!

What are the best aspects of this product?

I really liked Carto. It made studying how to apply spatial analysis very simple. It feels like it's made from the point of view of someone without data or spatial analysis skills. I even learned SQL from Carto and some CSS and HTML using its builder interface. It obviously doesn't substitute the actual technical foundation in data analysis and GIS but without Carto, it'd be very hard for me to understand it. It's user-friendly and aesthetic.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I think things can be changed in the GUI. Like having limited user-dependent layers and sometimes with style labels/tooltips — It can also be a bit clunky. It would have been nice if it's not so limited. The community of people who knows how to use Carto was small. Also, finding stuff can be challenging if you don't know where to start. It's a good thing that the customer support is responsive really quickly as there are occasions when some mapping analysis is needed asap.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We mainly used it to display the data in a spatial format. Quite often, viewing something as a symbol on the map rather than seeing a whole data sets makes all the difference. Also, I'd love to have an option to link it to Tableau, as we're aiming to use it for its usability. Carto certainly has an edge than Tableau in design and versatility so to combine these two would be really awesome!
