Mapping Software for our entire college campus
Concept3D was awesome with our initial implementation and setting up our map to make sure our map was as accurate and realistic as possible. Since then, they've helped us evolve our map with new features and tools to make it a great tool for both wayfinding and general marketing.
- Concept3D is a great mapping tool
- It builds on top of the already recognizable Google Maps interface, yet allows clients like us to add specific renderings of our campus and detailed location info inside pin points
- The back end editor is a little cumbersome and confusing
- But once you learn it, it's not bad
- Plus, the customer service is excellent if you ever need assistance
Why they chose it
"We liked all of the features, especially the ability to include 360 panoramic photos as part of the map experience. We also recently added an additional product of theirs to our toolkit, a stand-alone 360 Tour which is great for showcasing our campus to prospective students."

Concept3D Review
Verified reviewer
- The ability to customize our map as new features get added around campus (new parking lots, attractions, etc
- )
- Also, the capabilities of creating specific tours within our map for certain populations that visit our website
- CMS is somewhat of a learning curve to get used to and has a few quirks about it
- Customization options can sometimes seem limited to more web savvy users who may want to add their own styles
Why they chose it
"Concept3D offered more flexibility and functionality that we were ultimately looking for in a product."

Review of Concept3D interactive map product
The account management team at Concept3D was extremely helpful to us during the implementation process. They visited our campus for several days to walk our implementation team and numerous University stakeholders through the steps necessary to get our interactive map up and running. They helped us to develop a plan that allowed us to launch the product at 21 Penn State campuses. Even now that the product has been live for more than a year, Concept3D continues to be very receptive to our questions, needs and suggestions.
- The Concept3D interactive map product is visually stunning and provides amazingly accurate representations of our campuses
- It's a unique and attractive tool to help promote our university and to assist the thousands of visitors and new students who come to our campuses each year
- Overall, the map CMS is easy to use and requires minimal training for staff to use it to create map locations and events
- The ability to schedule events and locations and to share specific map location links have made the interactive map a valuable tool for advance promotion of campus events (sports, concerts, commencement, orientation, etc
- ), parking and construction projects
- There are a few CMS limitations that can be frustrating for map administrators, such as the inability to copy previously-created locations and to make multi-location edits, the lack of map snapping when drawing lines and polygons, and occasional issues when multiple administrators attempt to use the CMS simultaneously
- The Concept3D product is not an ideal solution for print map needs, especially for large campuses
- Using the Concept3D product for walking or driving directions is not as user-friendly or intuitive as Google Maps

A wonderful product
It's been really great. The people have been great to work with and the program is fantastic.
- It's incredibly easy to use on the front and the back end
- Has some great features and we really like how you can create multiple tours
- I admittedly am very pleased with this and I'm not sure what I like least

We weren't pleased with what YouVisit had to offer and it's lack of customization.

The Sky's the Limit with this Flexible Interactive Map
My university has been a Concept3D customer for about eight years. With the help of their support team, we have achieved our goal of presenting an informative interactive experience in which prospective students can "visit" the campus from wherever they are. The illustrated map shows that classic design of our campus buildings. Panoramic photos show the natural beauty of the campus and highlight some attributes of special interest. For example, prospective students can use this tool to tour the interior of student residence halls.
- The Concept3D illustrated interactive map offers a great mix of functionality and familiarity
- Because it is built as an overlay on the Google Map platform, the Concept3D map is instantly familiar and easy to use
- Its customization features enable us to present as much information as we want to enhance the user's experience — text, photos videos, panoramic images, tours, etc
- Built-in editing tools are easy to use
- And Concept3D customer support is always helpful
- We also like the way the Google platform allows us to highlight locations that are not on our campus, such as the international locations of international development student projects in countries all over the world
- My only complaint is not about Concept3D, but about myself
- With limited staff and lots of other responsibilities, I haven't had time to exploit all of the potential of this tool
Why they chose it
"Better value for the cost; good interactive features; ease of editing; flexibility; integration with Google Maps; excellent customer service."

A Quality and Helpful Product to our University Site
We have been very fortunate to have worked with a dynamic and engaging company like Concept3D. Their customer relations have been nothing but gracious, helpful, and professional as we have gone through the process of setting up our map and tour. Every time we had a question or concern, we were heard and responded to with assistance in record time with quality work. The map and tour have been fantastic additions to our university website and we are currently working with other departments to continue to use these two new assets in more future university projects.
- What we liked most about Concept3D is the ability to truly customize within their CMS
- Adding in personal icons as well as the high-quality 360 panoramas to the map itself elevates the product to a higher functionality level
- We also love the create a tour on the map feature, as this is something that multiple departments, like admissions, have wanted to create and utilize for potential students and events
- We also love the 360 tour itself, as this is a fantastic way to showcase our campuses and bring a personal touch to who we are as a university to those not yet familiar
- We do not have many, if any, complaints
- One thing we are looking forward to seeing expand would be the interface/control of the 360 tour
- We love how it currently is designed, however small tweaks - such as a potential top bar for the logo and buttons, perhaps some extra control over CSS for some elements, and a bigger description box for each stop in the bottom right corner - would be great

Excellent Tool for Virtual Tours and Maps
We explored setting up our own interactive map and virtual tours, but Concept3D has offered a solution to both that made more sense than reinventing the wheel, and they've added featured we never even thought of.
- The UI of the CMS that powers Concept3D is very user-friendly, yet feature-filled
- The system is frequently updated with new features, and unlikely many SaaS offerings, not every upgrade requires additional costs
- Customer service has been great throughg our years with Concept3D, and I can definitely say the tool has only improved in that time
- An eye for design pairs well with the solid functionality
- I had some issues with integrating embeds with my site in some situations, but working with my rep, it was determined it was an issue with a conflict with my CMS, and we found a solution to solve it
- It is not the cheapest hit on my budget, but I can't argue that we don't get our money's worth
Why they chose it
"The feature set and presentation."

Concept3D Offers a Fantastic Product with Useful Features and Reliable Customer Support
We're making our campus more accessible with Concept3D. We can now provide instant updates to our map so that students, faculty, staff and visitors have the most up-to-date information when coming to El Camino College.
I like how easy it is to update as an administrator and how stylish and modern it looks as a user
We are having some issues with the PDF generator but the customer support team has been very helpful in addressing the problem and providing timely updates

Excellent Product and Excellent Results
We were one of the earliest clients and have enjoyed seeing how this product has evolved. We were highly engaged initially, then it fell to the wayside, but recently we've really picked up speed on the product again. We've seen triple digital increase in analytics for visitors, time on page, etc. Our visitors love it and we're trying to leverage it in every way possible.
- Ease of use for our digital users
- Intuitive and mobile friendly
- There are some Admin UI items I'd love to see updated

Great product, huge benefit to our campus community
Since the beginning of the web our campus map consisted of a PDF designed by our developers, that various versions were saved all over our website. Some were out of date, all of them were hard to really navigate in relation to our actual campus. Concept3D's map, with our 3D renderings, has been a game changer for us and our groups on campus that host events, or want to include directions on getting to various buildings on campus, etc.
- Concept3D's maps have been hugely beneficial for our end users to navigate their way around our campus
- We've been able to use it to setup maps for special events, orientation, etc quickly
- The backend CMS is so easy to use, our student interns have been able to really handle most of the administration of the map
- A lot of the features we'd like to explore implementing seem to have an extra cost, that was hidden
- We've encountered a few little bugs that have forced us to rethink how we implement something to ensure a better user experience
