Propeller Aero Customer Review
I had tried drone deploy and a do it yourself platform, drone deploy required a lot mor ground control and still did not give us the accuracy required for our type of work. We are an aggregate producer and we have a construction project group. Propeller has helped both division become more efficient and productive.
PROSProduct support, especially by my assigned success Engineer [sensitive content hidden]
CONSI will have to try really hard to find something that I don't like about Propeller Aero. I guess the thing I like least is the challenge of replacing a drone in the system. I have replaced our drones twice and both times I had to rely on [sensitive content hidden] to get it completed.
Reasons for switching to Propeller Aero
As I stated above, Drone Deploy required too much ground control, in effect we would have to mobilize our gps crew to every site. With Propeller Aero, I am able to use the panels for ground control especially with the corrections network.

Fast and Accurate Drone Data Processing and Analysis
Using Propeller is so fast, I have been able to spend all of my time in the field, collecting aerial data, instead of hours and hours tinkering with processing software. I have processed sites ranging from 1 acre, to 4000 acres. Then analyzing the data is also fast and intuitive. Running stockpile calcs, measuring road slopes, pond volumes, surface area, cut/fill reports, elevation color maps, the list of measurements and analysis reports is long. Customer service is mainly via online chat, although response is quick, and they always solve my problems.
CONSNone that I can think of currently, the Propeller team is always adding features and functionality. They listen to user feedback incorporate it into future releases.
Reason for choosing Propeller Aero
Dronedeploy doesn't offer the same level of GCP (ground control point) integration that Propeller does, especially with their Aeropoints.
Reasons for switching to Propeller Aero
I was spending too much time manually processing, and keeping a dedicated computer for the task. The web portal for Propeller is also shareable with clients, so they can quickly see the processed data and use the tools as well.

Construction Surveying
Overall very pleased working along side the Propeller team they are fast and happy to assist you with a problem and I believe they are leading edge in drone surveying! Keep up the good work!
PROSVery user friendly you can walk anyone through how to use the software over the phone. Being able to pull quantities and print them out in reports is probably the best part of the software for what we do as a heavy highway construction company.
CONSNeed to be able to see the proposed line work in the reports would be very beneficial so owners can see what part of the job we are referencing to.

Use of Propeller in site development
Very useful, I'd highly recomend Propeller.
PROSVery helpful in weekly monitory the status of construction. Evaluating dirt movement, checking grades, verifying completion of work.
CONSUser interface takes a little getting used to and can be intimidating to new users.
Reason for choosing Propeller Aero
We fly a dozen jobs, 30-40 times per year, over 400 flights per year, the annual price made this more affordable than other options.
Reasons for switching to Propeller Aero
Cost, and more accurate measurement of elevations.

Outstanding Support in the Industry
My overall experience has been fantastic. I've been a Propeller head for several years. Propeller has listened to my concerns, added and made adjustments based on feedback and created a platform that answers many diverse needs that aerial data provides. The customer service has never left me in the dark and typically works very well to get my questions/problems address. I view Propeller as my silent partner in the background.
PROSI really enjoy seeing all my data in 3 dimensions before me. It allows me to view and manipulate the data in all sorts of ways and the ability to share this with team members, seamlessly, is vital in today's world.
CONSThe software does not always tell you the truth, at first glance. You must really be aware of how the calculations are performed, or you could end up accidental reporting a false number. I also find that loading models and other drawings into Propeller can be frustrating, although it seems to be getting easier.
Reason for choosing Propeller Aero
- Propeller accepts agnostic data. You don't care where it comes from, as long as its good quality! - I don't need a fancy computer and hours spent processing my own data. It does get complex, why not let Propeller's server power help? Besides, if one runs into trouble, Propeller helps to figure things out. - Simple ground control to complex ground control, Propeller handles it all. - Propeller outputs are the right blend of data
