SiteSeer Technologies vs QGIS: Which is a better fit?

Void analysis is fantastic and extremely useful. Custom tools made for our team are extremely valuable and Siteseer's team has done a fantastic job programming those tools.

A few SiteSeer functions seem a bit outdated in terms of usability. For example, the process to save/name a scenario and the inability to drag a scenario to move it to another folder.

It's simple to use and creates clear, easy to read reports. Customer service is clearly a huge priority for this company and it has been a joy to work with them.

The main thing I have disliked about this software is the issues it runs into when trying to import a large data set for a scenario.

We thoroughly appreciate Tom and Andy's abilities and willingness to think through ideas with us (and even suggest their own) as we work to enhance our product and, in turn, our business decisions.

Finding accurate traffic counts is hard because I don't know where the data is being pulled from.

Great product, outstanding support and drives informed business decisions.

The thematic maps in my opinion are virtually useless and in some cases limits the ability to tell a story about a trade area or region.

Having the ability to integrate many different file types is a great feature that makes this software awesome.

The opensource nature of the product led to a lack of overall support and compatibility. I experienced constant problems, slow-downs, freezes, and crashes with the program.

Easy to use, for free, the people that runs the software are awesome, you can choose to pay to help the development, the best.

As I'm very new to QGIS, it's sometimes difficult to find all the functions that I need, there are a lot of options which can make it difficult in use.

My over all experience with QGIS is great. It's an amazing value with it's community created tool box.

It has very few points against it, maybe it takes a little while to process heavy images and it has many updates that sometimes confuse me.

Powerful, reliable, easy to use, extendable... and free (as in free beer and free speech).

Architect student

Something I don't like is that sometimes the application closes and does not have recovered files, so you have to start again.
