Great mapping and database integration, great support

I like how easy it was to set up with my existing postgresql server setup (with raster data). The performance of this solution has been exceptional compared to any previous solutions we have used over many years running our business applications on topographic maps - which are stored using GeoJSON or WKB files rather than traditional shapefiles! We had hoped that there would some way to use ESRI's ArcObjects API but so far no luck from what i can see here. A more flexible approach could…

Pros
  • It is free, open source software
  • Its very fast in terms loading large datasets for analysis.
  • Runs easily alongside other standard GIS databases such as SQL Server / Oracle/ MySQL..etc
Cons
  • Not bad
