They have developed a way to nearly remove all user error possibilities from the equation. Cons Some parts of the planning of missions are not there. Unable to specify the start point of a mission by simply selecting where you want to start isn't an option. This would be an awesome addition at some point soon.

Pilot Success Manager Aviation & Aerospace ### "DroneDeploy for a Nationwide Network" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 27, 2022 One of the best features of Drone Deploy is that they are ACTIVELY editing/updating/adjusting features on the app. We used to have alternate apps on standby to use if the app stopped working but we have not had to do this as of recent. It feels like as problems come up, they get to fixin. Pros The convenience of creating flight plans, sharing maps, and visualizing different deliverables make this flight software the best in the game. My team works with this software on a nationwide scale and fly 50+ unique projects per month. Drone Deploy works great on both the flight side and the Client side. I also LOVE the feature that we can share the map with a client without having to create an account for him. Cons On the Flight Plannning side, we often have pilots accidentally move the entire flight plan. It is convenient for when you need to do it BUT I would like to see an option to lock it in place.

Safety Officer Construction ### "Great product - checks all our boxes" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 13, 2021 Overall, my experience with DroneDeploy has been excellent. As mentioned, from the mission planning stages through execution and creation of deliverables for clients, everything has been seamless. Pros DroneDeploy makes it easy to plan, execute, and process a UAV mission, and create a deliverable acceptable to our clients. If ever there is an issue, the help from customer service is immediate. Cons If I had a 'wish list' to improve DroneDeploy, I would like to be able to manipulate the Annotation Report a little more. For example, when a volume report is created, the results are understandably presented in cubic meters, but in addition to this number, I would like to be able to present these quantities in tonnes to our clients. An extra, editable field would be nice. Perhaps an optional export (other than creation of a PDF document) to MicroSoft Word would alleviate this request?

AU Anonymous User CIO Government Administration ### "Still the leading 3D mapping for general purpose drone user willing to do some mapping" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 February 28, 2021 It is my choice. It is work with the popular DJI products and it removes a number of "unknowns". Pros It is easy to get started with drone deploy online. It is not so easy to get started with your drone, especially if you are new to mapping with drone. However, there is a good simulation training guide that can add value and confidence to the process. There is a good knowledge base that can be used for self learning. Great features when you get started. Easy flight planning - drag and drop with estimated of battery time and flight path clearly shown before you fly. The 3D outputs are best from other systems that I have tried. Cons It a bit on the expensive side. In most cases you need to have live internet on your mobile device, thus you need to have data on your phone. In some cases the drone can crash if you are flighting in a valley using the ground distance always takes the measurement from where you started your flight path, this can be very dangerous if you took off in a valley and your drone goes toward a mountain. Reasons for choosing DroneDeploy I have reviewed other products -alternatives are very expensive to obtain and have different costing model, largely you have to pay to own the expensive software, drone deploy is a fee based monthly users model. You can just purchase use, download you output and then close account. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Pros The ease of setting up autonomous flights Is unmatched. Constantly improving their features based on customer input. Cons Pretty expensive software for pilots, and also for “analyst” users who can only view the data. Typically just export or send out links to our teams.
