What do you like best about FalconView?

FalconView is reliable and easy to learn. It appears to have been designed for use by analysts, and performs functions that either have not been reproduced in its competitors; or require significantly more work to accomplish similar tasks. For example, converting coordinate systems in Google Earth (e.g. MGRS to GeoCoords) requires menu navigation and several clicks. By contrast, converting coordinate systems in FalconView can be accomplished by pressing "Ctrl + G" on the keyboard and typing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FalconView?

The interface is getting dated, and some features available in other software is not yet available in FalconView. For example, the integration of digital terrain elevation data (DTED) as a 3D view; or the ability to arbitrarily rotate the map, which is almost universally available by click-dragging with the mouse in other software. One major pitfall is that, in the versions of FalconView I used, it was not easy to move information between FalconView and other industry standard products. Integrating KML support into FalconView would go a long way to modernizing the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering FalconView:

Currently, a lot of FalconView's shortcomings can be overcome by using it alongside other software. For example, one common approach is to use FalconView alongside Google Earth to take advantage of its 3D modeling and KML ingestion. However, without third party tools to convert FalconView files to KML files, migrating data between the two systems is a very labor intensive process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is FalconView solving and how is that benefiting you?

I last used this product as a Full Motion Video analyst; and before that, as an Intelligence Analyst in the US Air Force. In both cases, it was related to tracking strategic, operational, and tactical geospatial information; and it allowed us to all work from a common platform to make sure that everyone was working with identical information.
