I've used it. The CAD engine used is a lot stronger then MapInfo's and has 3D-coordinates, you get much more manipulation functions to edit the graphical side of the data. Disadvantage is that the interfaces to attribute data, queries and remote databases have more of a "technical look and feel" the user-level for AutoCAD Map is therefor of another level. If your organization needs accurate geometry, has lots of plain AutoCAD files and is specially looking into getting data connected to drawings and doing some simple queries; Get AutoCAD Map. If you need to do more advanced analyses; Get MapInfo. It is also absolutely no problem to let the two live together, when you use common databases between MapInfo en AutoCAD Map. I would say, put AutoCAD Map in the technical departments and MapInfo at strategic and sales.
