Mapbox compared with the different map integrated platforms is one of the best in its pricing and has one access to every feature that can be enabled during integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Migration of data can be an issue if the developer is not able to meet the requirements or if the support team doesn't give any further assistance on enabling the feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The custom data and custom model for buildings. For instance, we used our green roof data as an additional layer on top of the default building layer.
Point of Interests is very helpful, because we can use our data and prefabs to render certain data visualization. For example, we used our tree data set and used Point of Interests to show the trees in New York. We made our prefab of the trees and it was pretty great result.
The integration with AR Core and AR Kit makes it easy to use as AR product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The documentation is handy and user friendly but there is not enough official tutorials, and there is no API references of the sdk. The most tutorial I learned was from Youtube tutorials. Also, when adjusting the zoom level, the buildings lost is not satisfying. When you set the zoom level to some certain level, part of the buildings are just disappear. This may because to keep the frames when running so that it's not too heavy for the device to render so many buildings, but the lost buildings are too many and not expected. Besides, when adding multiple maps, it is still heavy to load. Maybe there is some way to reduce the cost like optimize the shader and reduce the mesh of the buildings.

Honestly i'm a big fan of customizable UI's and graphics. So being able to change the smallest details of how maps are presented is AWESOME. I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing to dislike. Its a great cloud based software and even their free trails are super powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was easy to set up, but we find this to be the case with any JavaScript based mapping solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have used Map box for over one year. We are a large software company and pay a significant amount of money to use this every month. They have contacted us about a price increase. I contacted their sales to establish what the new price would be. They reassured me that the price would drop for 3/4 customers but, when pressed further, then went on to tell me “I cannot tell you what your new price will be exactly.” We believe that this sales strategy to be fundamentally misleading. Our best guess is that the cost will increase by a factor of 10. Given that there are so many map providers, I would advise anyone considering Mapbox to seek an alternative with a more transparent and honest sales team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The customizability of shapefiles, geojson, and kml files is pretty awesome. The ability to transform the map into an interactive game using mapbox's unity sdk is pretty cool. I am excited to explore mapbox's capabilities deeper in the near future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be nice if it accepted zipped tile directories. Must use MBtiles or geotiff for raster map tiles. Wish you could do more than 15 tilesets on one map style. Stroke thickness is set to 1 px for vector tilesets, would be nice to have more customizability. Also would be nice if they had a .dxf to shapefile converter. Must use arcgis or other software to go from illustrator to mapbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use, documentation and the API is very clean and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing model is made so that if your map gets any kind of traction on a blog or news website you're bound to be looking at a $500 - 1,000 bill.
Maps are charged per view. A view is 4 tiles on the screen. So most likely as soon as a user loads it and pans they've already used 2 views.
Not the easiest model to relay to clients since it's hard to estimate the amount of map views they will actually use, since one viewer could pan around a lot of the map and use 50. Someone else may not pan at all and use 1.
Other than PAYG model there is only one other, Commercial. Which is $500/month. Instantly pricing out most small agencies. There did used to be about 3 levels all with different map view quotas, which was better for scaling up your production pipeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Really great visual maps with plenty of customization. Really takes your website to a next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Website can be tricky at times to use, specifically with the coding. I feel like I love the maps but am not utilizing them to their full potential. A helpful youtube tutorial would be AWESOME to see all of the possible options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mapbox has a comprehensive interface that allows user to design quality maps with little prior skills in CSS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The map designs did not fit the needs of the project, forcing us to consider other products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I could appreciate the small memory space the app used. It also has very easy features and is very applicable to its purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The app crashed several times before the update so now I have no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
