Manifold has some strong points (a lot of advanced functions, very good
raster support, network support and it's reasonable fast, because eveything
is in memory) and some annoying features.
The logic is different and that can be OK for some, but what has put me of
is the difficulties in doing analyses where I'm combing geographical
relations and attibute in one query.
Another annoying thing is, that even with plenty of RAM, the size of the
layers it's possibly to work with is smaller than mapinfo (or FME)
One the raster side, the logic is also confusing and i prefer to perform
most in Idrisi or Vertical Mapper with their calculators

MI-L Réf. : RE: MI-L Reasonably
Priced GIS/CAD Packages For A Small

Hi,
Could you developpe more about what you find odd and uggly about it ? I've
tested this software last month and quite liked it. If it wasn't for my
boss, I think that I'd switch to Manifold.. But I've tested it at a time
when we were very busy on another project and I didn't have the time to
make indepth tests. Nevertheless in two days, I was able to get all my
base maps working, the scale and north orientation were immediately
correctly imported by Manifold, the thematic maps features were to my
liking and the server worked flawlessly (but we didn't spend much time
fiddling with security protections, only opened it wide for a while).. The
graphic interface looks nice IMO. I did particularly appreciate the fact
that there are not so many files around as with MapInfo. The logic is
somewhat different than that of MapInfo with respect to thematic maps, but
once you have a look at the introduction the documentation is very well
done and didactic and the learning curve is fast.

hi all

we looked at it many times. it is just to odd to use - they should be
nominated for the "worst software design price", they'd win every year
by far ...
