GPS Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Second to none...Propeller Aero" August 5, 2025 5.0 We are a huge supporter of Propeller Aero here at York Excavating. Look forward to new features being added as well. Pros We use Propeller Aero on a daily basis. All aspects of our compony use the portal from Project Management to our Estimating Department. I've been a customer of Propeller for almost 8 years, great product with great value for what you get in return. Cons Wish the portal would have some more "takeoff" commands. We sometime run into wanting to add subgrade depths to our linework to view the depths within the portal for a more accurate cut/fill map.

No comparison. Review Source James S. Corporate Geologist Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Propeller customer support rocks!" August 6, 2025 5.0 The customer support at Propeller is by far the best I've experienced in my 30-yr career in the mining industry. Pros The ease of use and the visualization in 3-D that it provides. It allows me to share information with others on my team with ease. Cons The resolution of the data is often too detailed to be used in other platforms. It would be nice to have a better option to smooth the surfaces. Switched from [PIX4Dmapper](https://www.capterra.com/p/234673/PIX4Dmapper/) The owner of the company wanted to switch based on the recommendation of our equipment supplier. Review Source BM Brent M. Surveyor Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Construction Surveying " June 18, 2019 3.0 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! Pros Very 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. Cons Need 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. Review Source BK Brian K. UAS Operations Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast and Accurate Drone Data Processing and Analysis" April 1, 2020 5.0 Pros 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. Cons None 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. Alternatives considered [DroneDeploy](https://www.capterra.com/p/197016/DroneDeploy/) 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. Review Source JF Jason F. Director of Land Development Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Use of Propeller in site development" March 14, 2024 5.0 Very useful, I'd highly recomend Propeller. Pros Very helpful in weekly monitory the status of construction. Evaluating dirt movement, checking grades, verifying completion of work. Cons User 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. Review Source DH Dallan H. Drone Pilot and SWPPP Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Processing System and Support Team" August 7, 2025 5.0 I think the data and how everything gets point together is great and the accuracy is really coming together I still think I am trying to implement it even more into the company and find new ways to add value. Pros They give you a lot of data and the customer service is great I love looking at the maps and being able to get all the data our PMs need, and I am so grateful for PropellerU! Cons That I can only have one known point. One works most of the time, but I wish we could have two known points on some sites, or if we could know more about the Propeller Corrections Network and maybe find a way to get a known point onto it. Review Source FD Fangzhou D. Engineering Manager Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product and great service" August 5, 2025 5.0 very good and grateful to know and to use propeller and it has been giving me a lot convenience and help for my day to day job Pros easy transfer of survey data to visual presentation quick and easy customer support great collection of the functions Cons sometimes it take long to get the measurement and the measurement crashes, too. would be good to have a function of adding measurement to folder Review Source RH Randall H. Pilot Mining & Metals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Propeller Aero Customer Review" March 15, 2024 5.0 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. Pros Product support, especially by my assigned success Engineer \[sensitive content hidden\] Cons I 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. Review Source MM Marc M. Takeoff Tech II Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Propeller Aero" March 14, 2024 5.0 Having relied on Propeller for four years, I can attest to its unwavering reliability and effectiveness. Its user-friendly interface simplifies measurements, making tasks effortless. The exceptional customer support ensures any queries are promptly addressed, while the rich knowledge base in the help center provides invaluable resources. Propeller remains my go-to tool for its seamless performance, outstanding support, and continuous innovation. Pros One of the best things about using Propeller is how simple its tools are to use. I really appreciate that they provide a picture and description of each tool, making it easy for anyone to understand what they do. This feature has been incredibly helpful for me, as it ensures that I can quickly and confidently navigate through the platform, knowing exactly how to use each tool to get the job done efficiently. Cons It's rare to find a platform that ticks all the boxes, but with Propeller, I can confidently say there's nothing I dislike. From its user-friendly interface to its responsive customer support and extensive help resources, Propeller has consistently exceeded my expectations. Whether I'm using its measurement tools or seeking assistance, every aspect of the platform has been nothing short of exceptional.

UAV Operations Manager/Chief PIlot Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Outstanding Support in the Industry" April 7, 2020 5.0 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. Pros I 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. Cons The 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 Review Source BL Bert L. Survey Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Propeller on TM ROCO" March 14, 2024 5.0 Pros We fly more than 1.500.000m2 weekly based. Our teams (engineers,designers can follow progress without going on site. Calculate stockpiles and visualise the designs on the platform is a big timesaver. Cons At the start we had some issues with the belgian projection in the platform.

I see no gaps or weaknesses for our requirements. Reason for choosing Propeller Aero Propeller's online data processing engine does a robust job of processing large UAV surveys. This frees our experts to focus on other tasks. The quality of online visualisation is high, and secure access via Chrome browser unlocks remote collaboration across teams. Review Source CW Cody W. GPS Manager Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best survey drone service I’ve ever used" June 11, 2019 5.0 My over all experience has been great at this time. I always have someone there to walk me through any problems that I experience and always get quality work from the drone and service. Pros I like the ease of access and the quality of product that I receive from propellers processing software, I never have to worry if my contours that the drone and software created are incorrect or not, with the software that I’ve used in the past I would always have to worry that the elevations that were generated were wrong and with propeller I don’t have that worry at all. I like that with the rtk drone I don’t have much setup time at all, I get out create my flight and use one aero point and get to flying then processing, the other service took a lot longer to preform these task. Overall great workflow experience Cons the only con is not having a hard case to keep my aero point in, at times when I take it out it looks a little bent and I am not sure if it affects the quality but that would be the only thing I would change at this time.

After the flight has been uploaded, superintendents and project managers can go online and gather information themselves. The data they can obtain right away without needing to wait for someone is of high importance in our fast paced industry. It is a great planning tool for our company. Cons We have found no cons to using this software Reason for choosing Propeller Aero We chose Propeller knowing that it would relieve hours of data collecting and computing from our VDC & surveyor teams to spend on other projects.
