Functionality

Pros:

I like how flexible it is - I can almost always get what I'm imaging to happen, without a huge amount of hassle, or without running into walls. It's easy to get up and running, and has a ton of API options.

Cons:

The learning curve is pretty steep, and there aren't a ton of demo projects that you can take and run with. It's also not the fastest rendering in the world.

Creation, customization, visualization and geospatial analysis of interactive maps with advanced tec

As an architecture student and intern at a construction company, my experience using Mapbox was very positive, since this platform offers the necessary tools for the creation of interactive maps that complement the construction projects and architectural planning of the construction company, and helps me to complete my autonomous tasks on roads. Overall, Mapbox was a valuable and highly effective tool to enhance my work as an intern and helped me develop my daily freelance tasks at university.

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Without a doubt, what I liked most about this tool was its powerful set of APIs and SDKs, this allowed me to easily integrate interactive maps into web applications and for road design (autonomous tasks) for the university. In addition, something else that I liked a lot is its high-quality and precise geographic data, since this was essential to carry out analysis and make informed decisions about map development, more specifically about roads.

Cons:

Perhaps the only problem that I found with this tool is its cost, in my case it did not affect me because my university provided me with the paid version, however for other users who do not have the money, certain important functions of this tool will be limited.

Better than Google maps api

Great experience overall. Cheap compared to Google. If you are building an application yourself, invest in this over Google.

Pros:

Very inexpensive, especially compared to Google. Support is great too. Good luck talking to someone at Google if something does not work.

Cons:

Not all third party application support this. Many do, but it could be a deal breaker if your already invested in something that does not directly support mapbox.

Pros:

Performance of GL JS sdk. Mapbox studio is great.

Not fully supported Globe View. Seems like it will be an industry stardard to use Globe View in map products but it's still far from perfect, especially using custom layers and lacking ability to display data over poles.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

I'm definitely a more simplistic user of this platform; I mainly use it to create period maps and detail locations of interest. I know there is a much more in-depth side to it for power users. It essentially lets you create highly detailed and stylized maps, and even interactive maps. I can't speak for the software development side since I'm not a developer, but I know that it allows for you to create custom maps for your project using your own data, styles, and customer interactions, that you can then deploy in various settings.

Cons:

I guess since it is aimed at developers, it can definitely be confusing to try and use if you are not one.

Pros:

Mapbox makes it easy to create custom-colored maps, but that's not where its power lies. Mapbox's API allows us to implement custom maps and pins integrating our data simply. The vector-based map is fast and integration is simple with their documentation

Cons:

No real cons to speak of. You really need to be a programmer to work with mapbox though, lay people will find it challenging to implement.
