What do you like best about Geomatica?

I really liked the fine details of the spectrum analysis and different settings available. Also, an excellent tool to merge images together. I would love to work with this program more. This program has some powerful features that have many applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geomatica?

I was surprised of the lack of information and meta data on the tools and other settings. Also, It would be nice to have a student version at an affordable price in order to become proficient with all of the features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Geomatica:

Geomatica is an amazing program with many well thought out features and applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My worst problems had to do with the lack of descriptions of the tools or settings. I waste a lot of time using several in order to decide which is best to use. When time is an issue, this process is not ideal.

I did appreciate the ability to delineate spectrums with fine detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Geomatica?

I like geomatics because it allows you to represent reality in a precise and detailed way but also to create and control everything that you are able to define in the design phase and / or during all construction phases. And in doing this it interacts with many other aspects, ways of designing and visualizing reality (such as BIM design or VR / AR technology). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Geomatica?

I don't like the unexpressed potential of geomatics and the not yet fluid connection with other related technologies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With geomatics it is possible to collect a large amount of data in a short time and with even millimeter accuracies, thanks to the combination of the different methods of survey and data post-processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
