Great product!

What differentiates CARTO from other similar products?
It works well with 3rd party javascript libraries like leaflet.js, and when I last used it they had a free option limited to 1 layer - but with no other restrictions. It was nice because you can do pretty much everything you want with a single layer if you are willing to write javascript to customize the map.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Javascript extensibility.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The dashboard editor is a little confusing.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Don't be afraid to use javascript to customize your map, you can do some really cool stuff that isn't really possible by just using the built in map designer.
Pros
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
- Generous Negotitation
- Helps Innovate
