.net - GIS systems, Rundown of advantages -

-

first word of warning, believe stackoverflow rather programmers question, mods feel free move if i'm wrong.

the company @ looking create gis solutions, based on desktops, mobile(wm/android/etc) or web. vague management requirement targeted markets not 100% defined may not heavily gis based expected. have been looking main gis providers in uk , see these been esri, capcorp , mapinfo. know esri , cadcorp both have full suites covering our requirements in terms of platform devices , targeted experience of development team .net framework.

the problem picking company go based on swot analysis. question have have used, 1 or systems. , advantages, weaknesses, strengths , opportunities. have been reading on them, great, want feel have used them in development , business processes.

my feeling many key bits of software start merge , cover same functionality, making competitor products hard differentiate. have had small chance use esri , found slow , verbose program in, compared cadcorp demonstration @ showed import time of map data natively. concerns cadcorp yearly sdk prices believe esri arcgis has sdk costs. aware esri dominate in defence sector prior work experience, not market targeting. mapinfo have no knowledge product other initial costs low upgrades & addons come @ high cost.

can give me rundown of key points of these gis providers, , feel free includes others have no listed.

edit

i not looking recommendation software buy, has been obtained marketing information. seeking feedback users have experience gis software share knowledge them, , bringing out detail tha otherwise unknown. relatedable c# vs java questions - https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/51887/java-vs-c-productivity-perspective/51889#51889

razor - Is this a bug in WebMatrix PageData? -

i think may have found bug in webmatrix's pagedata, not sure. concerns how pass data partial page calling page. in webmatrix documentation (tutorials, e.g. " 3 - creating consistent look ", , example code), pagedata recommended mechanism pass data between pages (e.g. content page layout page, or partial page). however have found not work other way, pass data partial page calling page. modifying or adding entries in pagedata in partial page, not seem calling page. cutting right down simplest possible example, in test page may have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "initial entry"; } <p>before calling partial page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> @renderpage("_testpartial.cshtml") <p>after returning calling page, test value @pagedata["test"]</p> and in _testpartial.cshtml page might have this: @{ pagedata["test"] = "modified entry"; } <p>in partial page...
