DroneDeploy Reviews

Esri integration is cool. 3D mapping is cool. Volumetric measurements is cool. Tech support has been really helpful.

Have had to experiment with the flying heights to get the desired results, not any fault of the software. Sometimes slow in uploading, we are trying to process lots of data though. Haven't been able to use the flight planning tool as we are only in a trial.

Volumetric measurement. Terrain mapping and flood modelling.

Quick turn around time for maps of larger size

How long it takes to get small maps back.image quality on facades.

Figuring out soil amounts of cut and fill

DroneDeploy allows my clients and I to collaborate real-time easily and without overcomplicated processes or concepts. My business depends on DroneDeploy's perseverance to give me the best product imagenable. And they do.

A bit pricey, but that's my only complaint!

My clients are allowed to identify problems for real-time sharing based on the high-accuracy afforded through the RTK network. This allows them to ID problems now before they become costlier problems later.

Drone Deploy is extremely easy to use and learn for newcomers. It has a lot of extra capabilities and abilities to connect to various GIS systems which is a plus. The website is easy to manage as well and keep track of all projects.

The live streaming capabilites could be easier to implement for drones.

We need the ability to capture the various water and sewer sites around the county on a reliable basis. Drone Deploy allows us to easily manage all of this data as well as help us fly all of our intended missions with ease.

Ease of use, with great results. No issues so far.

Post processing takes longer than desired.

Keeps track of mission times and produces good mapping results.

Customer services and variety of features

Pricing plans and levels confusing. No 3D feature on mobile

Working with clients who has little knowledge in drone surveying

DroneDeploy is an exceptional reality capture tool that integrates drone flight planning, map processing, tangible data collection, and 360-degree photography all in one platform. Its user-friendly interface makes flight planning intuitive, allowing for quick adjustments to cover any site effectively. The map processing delivers high-quality orthomosaics and 3D models rapidly, which is invaluable for project management. The ability to measure volumetrics and track progress visually enhances decision-making, while 360-degree photos provide immersive documentation. Overall, DroneDeploy has significantly streamlined our reality capture workflow and is a must-have for anyone in the construction industry.

I don't love the administrative interface to manage users and their permissions. I wish permissions were more granular.

DroneDeploy is our one stop shop for progress photography and videography, aerial and ground. It not only serves in documenting progress, but allows us to analyze construction sites early in the preconstruction and planning process, as well as in our quality control work flows during construction. It is informing our project teams with quickly accessible information about their jobs and the tools in the platform allow them to leverage that data to aid in the management of construction.

Drone deploy is a great tool for managing flights and mapping. Offering the ability to preplan flights and launch from within the app, or fly and upload at a later time. It's also easy to collaborate and share projects with my team/clients. Accurate measurement tools and volume calculations are intuitive and simple to use. Whenever we need help, the chat feature and phone support are quick and excellent!

Cannot think of any downsides. Not all drones are supported but they seem to add continously and update. LiDAR processing is in the works as well and I am hoping to see more from that as it develops.

Simple to use surveys and mapping with volume calculation and measurement tools saves a lot of time in the field and in the office!

I have started my drone business and DroneDeploy has made the work flow super simple. I am able to generate flight plans and areas for the General Contractors to review.

They find value in the deliverables. RJ, my account manager, is the #1 reason why I don't look for other services. He is so quick to respond and get me squared away when issues arise.

Continuing missions. Specifically, the photo sequence. If I have to perform a battery swap mid photo sequence, the whole thing starts over. I find that frustrating.

We use this almost daily for jobs and make it easy to use. Intergration with RTK and PPK built in to make ease of use. Anytime there has been an issue Tech support is quick and responsive.

I would like to be able to overlay my survey points into the ortho map. Also would be nice to be able to control flight orientation for solar inspections. Then last would be nice to have some more automations for video and photos and panos. Thanks

It does streamline the workflow for easy use.
