Everything about the software has been awesome, especially the incredible support.

Just one of the best price-value pieces of software I have found. I work in agriculture, and while we have ag-specific GIS tools with specific functionality for our industry, it's great to have a low cost, full featured GIS package for the random other stuff we do. And because we are sometimes doing the same operation across large numbers of files, I look forward to taking advantage of the automation abilities that the package offers as well.

Pros:

The value for the money, and the support (including customized help on how to do specific GIS things in the software as well as the offer to write VBA scripts as needed

Cons:

The overall interface seems a bit non standard, that is the 4 ease of use rating. It doesn't feel like a modern Windows program, not sure why that is. But it really isn't that big of deal considering all the positives and the incredible value for the money

Finally a Logic based GIS Program

It is exactly what I need. I am conducting demographic analysis for a client and have already learned how to create a service area shapefile and calculate the area as well as pull block group data from the 2019ACS for the service area. I am absolutely happy with this product.

Pros:

This software allows one to create maps that she wants without limitations. So much of the GIS software has so much AI in it that it won't do what you tell it to do. And to top it off, there is still direct access to the data you need and many tools included. It is amazing to have a program with the perks I need and none of the ones I do not. And the cost is definitely unbeatable. Also, the tutorials and customer service is excellent. I still have a lot to learn, but feel I will be able to market my company as having GIS capabilities in no time.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing. It has been 15 years since I used GIS on a daily basis, so I have a learning curve, but that is my only issue.

Reasons for choosing Simple GIS Client

I could not even think about affording it. And there were so many extras that the customer service people couldn't even explain. My experience was ArcVie 3x. I worked with ArcGIS some, but in a management role mostly. There products are out of control complicated.

Such a Great Product!

My overall experience started with their 30 day trial after I did two week trials with three other mapping software programs. Right away I noticed the graphics were much better than one of the other cartography programs whose graphics looked like the Atari space invaders game. I also noticed the customer service was incredible. One day I'm going to visit these guys and buy them all steak dinners because of all the help they've given me. I asked a ton of questions in those first 30 days and then a ton of questions afterwards. Now they almost never hear from me but when I do need something they are always right there with the answer. The software runs great. I was a bit nervous about doing all the cartography myself but I must say my maps are turning out wonderfully!

Pros:

What do I like most about this software? Everything. It's easy to use. It's super cheap. It gets the job done fast and well. The customer service goes above and beyond answering my inquiries. It stands by it's name - Simple. Everything is laid out in a clear and concise way - easy to find, easy to use. Before I found Simple I tried THREE other mapping software programs - ranging from $2500 to $750 - and Simple is just as good (in one case, far better!) as any of them at a fraction of the price. I don't know why anyone would pay more for a different software when everything they need is right here in Simple. Plus a month long trial? And spectacular customer service? Yeah - it's a no-brainer.

Cons:

It's not really a complaint about the software - it's more that I need a better computer. All of the cartography software programs I tried - and now Simple, which I bought - they all freeze and crash. But that is because my computer is crappy and I need one with better capabilities. I would also suggest making the manual searchable so we could use the "find" function to search for specific topics. Oh - and the youtube tutorial videos are great but I seriously recommend doing them in only 1 to 2 minute segments with specific subjects instead of 30 to 40 minute segments where someone has to wait and wait and wait for their specific question to come up. Leave the long ones on for reference but add those super quick videos so people can speedily reference what they need to know. Or even put a list in the youtube videos description which breaks down the video minute by minute so people can find what they need faster.

Thanks for the kind words Christina and for the helpful suggestions!

Great value, exceptional support

Overall, the software does what it says it will do and at an exceptional price point. I work for a non-profit watershed council and buying expensive GIS software was not even an option. Simple GIS has allowed us to map our data in a useful and understandable way and at a price that we could afford. The customer service is truly outstanding. In a time where most customer service is outsourced to foreign companies, this is a real breath of fresh air.

Pros:

I'm a rank amateur at GIS. No training, no past experience. I needed a "simple GIS" program that could handle the mapping of radio tracked Pacific Lamprey to show their movements, how long they stayed at each site, and links to photos of their habitats at each site. My data was in Excel and used GPS coordinates in decimal degrees. The Simple GIS software has allowed me to map each location, filter my data for the specific data that I wanted to use, show length the of time that the lamprey stayed at each particular location by varying the size of the icon, connect the locations with graphic arrows to show direction of movement, put each lamprey on a separate layer to allow viewing each one separately or all together, additional information is available for each data point by clicking on the location icon, and links to base maps are easily accessible from the opening creation screen. Because I am such a rookie at GIS, the most important and impressive feature for me has been the exceptional customer service. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has walked me through various difficulties throughout the whole process, answered all my questions in a very complete and understandable way, and basically made the whole map possible. Thank You!

Cons:

Since I'm not familiar with other GIS software I must leave comparisons of features to other more experienced users, but I have a couple of general comments. I wish I was able to duplicate a layer. I would also like to be able to connect my data points with a line without having to create that line manually. The general design seems a bit less visually polished than other software that I use, but everything seems to work, so this is a minor concern.

Used to use DeLorme Street Atlas before they quit offering it. Very thankful to find Simple GIS. Meets my needs to provide vegetation management along oil & gas pipelines. Use thousands of waypoints along multiple pipelines to keep up with job sites & their respective completion throughout the year.

Fantastic Software

Simple GIS has been a very inexpensive alternative to the big names. The output format is identical. Within a day of research and a short support session we were up and working. Used various software over the last 15 years and the customization and setup of data entry boxes is second to none. Highly recommend the software.

Pros:

An affordable full-featured GIS software. Opens quickly. Links to OLE DB - ODBC databases for live linked point layers. Easy creation of features to Shapefile layers, can simply change back and forth from several active editing layers. Great GPS and tracking support. Works well on small tablets in the field. Reads a wide variety of data sources. Support from the developer is great; bugs are taken care of immediately, and new features carefully considered.

Cons:

A few display issues, high DPI display problems, on super high resolution display, although on most devices it works fine. Map views are not as crisp as they could be, but on the positive side, icons and dialog text are well sized on a variety of display resolutions (can even use with touch on a tablet just fine). Would like a few new features; Export Map View to georeferenced (world header file) image, Bookmarked views/zooms, Toggle Layer edit on TOC right click menu.

Vendor Response

Thanks Mike. Just an update,, Simple GIS Client has been made dpi aware at version 9.2. So this should take care of any high DPI display issues. Thanks again.

Pros:

I've been involved in using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) software since 1983 with Atlas Graphics. I've used a bunch of systems since then but mostly use the free QGIS, SAGA, and a few other specialized programs. I ran across a new commercial package that has both a desktop client package for Windows as well as a server version. I've never seen one with as many wizards that automate bread and butter tools like a geocoder, an image downloader, a Census downloaded/data builder, etc. plus, it comes with a FREE national geocoder database even though it's wizard will automatically download TIGER or OSM data and build a geocoding database for you. The company pledges to update their free geocoder database each year. I've been corresponding with the company on improvements and they have already made some tweaks to improve the code, some a day later..and on the weekend. Highly recommended.

Cons:

Some development work, now in progress, on the Geocoder is needed. A x64 version could improve larger memory usage for power users.
