iGuide for the win

Fabulous

PROS

I was a very early Adopter of a competitors product. After realizing that the customer service was terrible I sold that product. Soon after I found iGuide and took the plunge. I haven’t looked back and I believe I have the best 3-D tours on my MLS. The ease of use is good but what really set says company part is their continual updates and education.

CONS

Not much. Quite honestly every time I use the camera I’m surprised by how intuitive the software is. They are also rolling out updates on a regular basis that have made the camera and software incredibly easy to use

Reasons for switching to iGUIDE

The competitors customer service was incredibly poor. Anytime I spoke to them they were condescending. This system was really not user-friendly for marketing either.

Matterport Killer?

Excellent, after nearly a month of reviews and research the layout and pricing of iGuide just sat well with us, there were cheaper options but everything about Planitar and iGuide was exciting for us.

PROS

The speed of capture is essential for a busy diary and the single scan time is perfect. The side by side floorplan navigation as you move through the entire scan is perfect for our marketing. The addition of negotiator banner is always helpful with social media accounts

CONS

Its not a con but the image quality is slightly less crisp than expected but still top tier system for the housing industry

Reason for choosing iGUIDE

The Lidar and end tour looked better and will be of use in the future for developments

Reasons for switching to iGUIDE

We wanted something to help with property developers and brand new builds as well as older properties. The addition of Lidar will also be beneficial for builders and architects.

The BEST virtual tour ecosystem on the market

I'm new to the system, but so far the onboarding has been fairly simple and the support has been fantastic. Proud to have a Canadian company offering such a fine product.

PROS

No monthly fees; free floorplans; very fast capture compared to other systems; great customer support; consistent updates to tech & back end.

CONS

Image resolution is not as high as other offerings; not a true "3D" output.

Reasons for switching to iGUIDE

Customer requested the iGuide system and refused to use Matterport; monthly fees; long-term vision for the company

Visually, iGuide Makes More Sense for Potential Home Buyers

Adding iGuide Virtual Tours has helped my Realtor clients sell more properties, save more time by showing fewer properties that fit home buyer's needs that they are excited to see, and separate themselves from their competition when doing listing presentations. This experience helps my Realtor clients feel like I am part of their team and I feel good that I can provide a service that will enhance their business, their family life, and their personal goals. I know I am making a difference in people's lives by offering iGuide Virtual Tours.

PROS

As a full-time photographer and former Realtor. iGuide Virtual Tours make more sense visually. By putting myself in the shoes of a home buyer when I was researching a virtual tour platform. Helps me help my clients sell more properties, save time for Realtors and Home Buyers. Because of the ability to have a home buyer able to see where they are in the home with the interactive floor plan directly to the left of the 360 virtual tours all in one panel. This is one of the most important features which makes iGuide far more superior to any other virtual tour product.

CONS

The only con is that I took too long to add this to my camera bag.

Excellent product supported by excellent staff

Simply wonderful! If every vendor was like these folks it would be a wonderful world.

PROS

I was nervous when I purchased iGuide. I'd never done a virtual tour and my only experience with pano was trying to use a nodal and then manually stitching images. It was not an easy task. The iGuide support team was incredibly supportive as I went through the learning curve. They keep coming out with new features and the give weekly support classes and calls. It has been a terrific experience. The turnaround on projects is also incredible. I can submit a project when I get home and often I'll have a finished project in my inbox, ready to present to my clients. Recently I got to present iGuide to an open house to over 50 Realtors. I did a lot of 1:1 and 2:1 presentations (over a four hour event) Without exception all the realtors were amazed at the quality of images, compared to the other comparable vendors that they had historically used. One comment I heard repeatedly was: "your iGuide images don't make me dizzy or sick. The other virtual tours I've seen can make me feel dizzy and sick!" I've got to train some others to use this for me and the learning curve is incredibly short. It's truly fun to use.

CONS

Anything that I'd want to add has either been added or is close to being added. It's a constantly evolving technology and they are doing a great job staying on top of this technology.

Outstanding Customer Service and being Canadian was all I needed!

iGUIDE has been a revolutionary product for my photography business as well as the coaching from head office, allowing my business growth and development from a part time gig to a full time business about to expand and hire staff.

PROS

The ease of use was one thing that made this software and company more attractive but what set it apart was it was Canadian owned and operated and the customer service and support was outstanding even from my initial call to inquire, to purchasing the unit and 3 years later upgrading camera and software, billing and more. It is a complete package and I am glad to have them on my team.

CONS

Like anything there is always room for improvement and growth in the industry but iGUIDE is always updating and bringing in new technology to our program. Lots of training videos and user portal for all the questions we need assistance with.

Excellent Tool For Real Estate Marketing

We came over from Matterport and have not regretted it one bit. Everything is just better, from the overall product to the support system (forum, ticket and phone) And it make sense to push a Canadian business like ourselves.

PROS

iGuide has been an excellent tool that we have incorporated into our real estate marketing business. We primarily offer photos and videography but have found that many agents want to add on floorplans. Its been an easy upsell for us because of the price point we can offer and the quick turnaround time from iGuide.

CONS

I cant really think of any real cons. They have it set up so shooting is about as fast as you can possibly get. On the backend, preparing the files using the stitch program takes 5 mins at the most...so again its pretty damn fast....lol

Reasons for switching to iGUIDE

Significantly better floorplans Faster scanning (again significant) Better user interface

It improved my overall sales

My experience overall has been great. At this point in time, I know I made the right decision compared to the well-known competitor.

PROS

It measures very accurately. The resolution of the final product (360 virtual tour) is great and looks natural. It provides a finished floor plan as part of the tour. No hosting fees. It is well supported. Tech support and admin are very easy to work with and informative. Overall it saves a good amount of time in creating a virtual tour vs. older methods. The processing value for what is paid is very high.

CONS

Coming up to speed at first. It required a decent learning curve. The cost of the hardware was very expensive at the time I had purchased compared to today's pricing.

Delighted Clients with the iGUIDE

My overall experience has been very positive. I would highly recommend the iGUIDE camera system.

PROS

Having been a Realtor for over 15 years and done my own and other agent's property photography I was really excited when I found the iGUIDE camera system. It is relatively simple to use and my residential and commercial real estate clients are delighted with the results. There are so many features in each report for the agents to use to sell each property that it is easy to retain them as clients.

CONS

The support team at Planitar, the makers of the iGUIDE camera, is really great and they are always open to suggestions for improvements. They have great training and weekly webinars to support operators. The support from other operators from all around North America for each other is remarkable too. A wonderful community of photographers.

Revolutionized my photography business

I was having trouble building a clientele with photography only. When I joined the iGUIDE family and began to offer 3D Tours and Floor Plans, overnight I became that much more marketable to realtors looking for one-stop-shopping.

PROS

Loved how easy it is to get up and running; yet there are intricacies which allow me to fine-tune the experience more and more as I learn.

CONS

Pretty much no cons. As limitations are discovered, Planitar is responsive to make improvements or show me how to overcome limitations.

Reason for choosing iGUIDE

I had heard how good the support was, they're a good Canadian company, and the capture-time for data is amazingly fast.

Iguide is a fantastic solution for accurate floorplans with detailed visuals for as-built projects.

PROS

User friendly interface, great support and a beautiful product on offer

CONS

The full product has so many offerings, sometimes people gets lost in all possibilities. For example Video's can be added, security access can be controlled, a feature sheet of the property can be created from the visuals and photos in the iGuide, tags with additional information can be added etc.

Great upgrade for real estate photographers

Since joining the iGuide/Planitar team the experience has exceeded all my highest expectations. The customer service and support teams have been awesome and easy to work with. My agents are loving the value add and I am booked and busier than I have ever been in the 5 years since I started RE photography. I'm looking forward to a long relationship growing and expanding with Planitar/iGuide as they do.

PROS

Not a steep learning curve, easy to use as advertised, great value add to my photography services, finding out so many different applications for this software if I wanted to branch out into other industries too.

CONS

It wasn't clear what to do after it arrived at my house after the unboxing. As silly as that sounds I had to watch 3rd party YouTube vids to see step by step what to do next - From start to finish shooting/editing/exporting, it felt like a lot of tiny details were missing in the resources provided.

Reason for choosing iGUIDE

Groundbreaking new equipment for fire scene documentation!

The unit is lite and compact. It fits easily on the plane for travel. The system works well in low light conditions and provides high quality panos of the scene.

PROS

The software allows me to download the panos and secure them, they are not left on a server somewhere that I have to pay for access to again. The customer service is excellent. The unit is small and scans well in the dark and irregular environment of the fire scenes we encounter.

CONS

There is some learning curve on using the stitch software to line up the IR scans, but with some effort and time, this is easily overcome by watching the training videos provided.

Reasons for switching to iGUIDE

We switched to iGuide due to overall cost and ease of access to the data. There is no monthly maintenance fee.

Support is very helpful and will gleefully help you get through the learning curve.

PROS

When I added iGuide to my list of services, I was selected by a local builder's and remodeler's association to do 3D virtual tours of newly built homes for their clients. I also found that you can take stills with the camera as well as pull off stills from the panoramas. Overall, once I got over the learning curve, I found the camera and software easy to use, and the customers loved the results.
