## Reviews

### "The perfect solution for mining problems" — 5.0/5

> **Ana Gabriela** | *30 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is mainly based on being a stable and integrated platform, that involves working in a 3D environment, wich achieves rapid results without losing the accuracy of geometric elements, managing to participate in all stages of a project from the download of topographic information and mining desing.
> 
> **Cons**: It requires a powerful computer to work with high processing speed, and a high space on the hard drive.
> 
> Precise and efficient underground and open pit mining plans

### "Great value and powerful, with some features you won't find in AutoCAD" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *5 April 2019* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, very powerful. It has a simpler interface than AutoCAD. Useful tools for mining.
> 
> **Cons**: UI seems a little dated compared to other modeling software
> 
> Great for modeling different mine related purposes. Used to model boreholes and assess ore deposits. Also good for calculating cut/fill areas on mine sites.

### "Geology" — 5.0/5

> **Pedro Pablo** | *9 April 2021* | Research | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: it is really good for geology. It is easy to load drill holes and made a block model
> 
> **Cons**: The other modules are a little difficult to learn.
> 
> it is a powerful tool for geology

### "is one of the most complete software in the geological-mining area, with a great data processing cap" — 4.0/5

> **Leonardo A** | *19 July 2018*
> 
> **Pros**: It allows to carry out analyzes and designs in each one of the components of the mining, either the quantification of resources and reserves or for the drilling and blasting, also it is possible to realize designs of advances of mine both in the open and underground
> 
> **Cons**: has quite complex components which require an extensive course for the use of it, also because it is such a complete program requires a computer with some technical characteristics quite demanding

-----

### "Simply the most complete solution" — 5.0/5

> **David** | *4 November 2016*
> 
> We have found the power and usability of Maptek software systems to stand above the crowd in this space. The software offered is very complete and feature rich, enabling a mining organisation to undertake a wide variety of core technical tasks inside one piece of software.
The software is backed up by a top notch technical support network and a comprehensive online presence .
Although typically coming in at a higher price point, we have found that Maptek covers such a wide range of capabilities is saves on us needing to purchase other software, meaning that value for money is actually really good.
