IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite (EIS) vs. Mapbox

Given we are a larger accounting firm with clients in different geographical regions the tool was insightful but for smaller firms with a more robust business I'm not sure how useful the tool would be for those users. For our business the tool was specifically useful in the EMEA regions and how their climate impact differs from the US and the specific resourcing we need for it.

Mapbox is great if you have a BI or Data Visualization problem while working with either large datasets or you want a high level of control on the design of your geospatial data. Also fantastic options for integrating maps onto your website or into your Android or iOS app. Basically, if you need a map in any shape, way, or form and you want a lot of detailed control over it, Mapbox is the way to go.

• Presented meaningful charts and tables of our climate data in the 4 countries we operate and showed strengths and weaknesses across each market.
• Formatted the presentation materials so our team did not have to take the reports and put them into a presentable format. We were able to leverage the technology's outputs in raw form which was very helpful and saved a lot of time.
• Applied this to some of our client's data to see how we can better serve their business based off the different climates, environments, and countries they operate in (specifically within the real estate sector which is a large portion of our business).

• Excellent documentation and worked examples makes it easy for newbies to get started.
• Works well across web or mobile platforms.
• Clean looking default map styles make your designs look professional.
• Since it is built on top of Leaflet.js, it is easily extensible. So any feature or function that is not available within the Mapbox.js API can be imported from other API's.

• I'm not a huge GIS nerd, so for what we are doing it is pretty solid.
• The pricing model is a bit confusing, but the product is fantastic.

Given the newness of the platform we have struggled with the integration and onboarding as previously mentioned. Not only from getting our team members setup and able to use the platform but also integrating our current systems to be compatible we had to reach out to the customer support team quite a bit.

It is a good tool to use. We can perform various customisations; I always end up exploring and finding a new feature that can be used in my work somewhere. And one good thing is that is actually quite reasonable in terms of cost, with the free tier being quite adequate

Mapbox provides many more services, like the Navigation SDK, Vision SDK (currently in beta), and Styles Gallery that allows companies to create a much more design-friendly frontend for a very low cost. Mapbox has also put a lot more resources into their search-related APIs to make them just as quick and accurate as the Google Maps search products. There is also a lot more innovation happening at Mapbox, with new geo/map products released regularly. Innovation and growth at the Google Maps API seems to be happening much slower.

• I don't think this is a fair question for me to answer. Apart from our time we have not invested anything into Mapbox - so from that perspective the ROI is great! Great returns without any investment!
