I had virtually no experience in the GIS world before creating my GIS Cloud account and setting up my projects. I was able to prepare a project that was more or less “idiot proof”, where every input needed for the finished database was clearly stated in the form and easily completed using the app. The field work employees didn't need to have any knowledge of GIS or complex systems; they simply followed the step by step options in the form. Then any time I had issues or received a question from field employees, GIS Cloud had a lightning fast response to help navigate the problem, which is all the more impressive considering they're based out of Europe and I'm in the United States. If I'm involved in any future projects that require GIS data management, I will certainly recommend using GIS Cloud. Cons I didn't see any missing features or options.

You can use it in different kinds of fields like i'm using it in architectural conservation. That's the important thing of GISCloud MDC. Pros I was looking for an easy way for collecting data on site and I found GIScloud MDC. Both creating online survey on website and using app on field is really easy. You can create your own survey method including adding photos in this survey. If you want you can change or develop your survey later. Cons Personally i don't have troubles using the software. Survey part is really working well. But for beginners like me, interfaces of creating maps can be more user friendly.

However, it is difficult to use for management purposes (update exsisting inventory data). I can use a base map off line environment but I cannot see points I collect until I upload points to the server... Pros Easy to design my survey forms. My team can use this on both Android and iOS devices. No coding. It is very easy to collect new field data. Cons Cannot see my collected points when it is offline. Putting points on the map is not that intuitive. No spatial video capability. It is difficult to update existing inventory data (tree and facility management). Reasons for choosing Mobile Data Collection It was very easy to design data collection forms.
