Second to none...Propeller Aero
We are a huge supporter of Propeller Aero here at York Excavating. Look forward to new features being added as well.
- We use Propeller Aero on a daily basis
- All aspects of our compony use the portal from Project Management to our Estimating Department
- I've been a customer of Propeller for almost 8 years, great product with great value for what you get in return
- Wish the portal would have some more "takeoff" commands
- We sometime run into wanting to add subgrade depths to our linework to view the depths within the portal for a more accurate cut/fill map
Why they chose it
"We tried to process in-house at my previous employer before switching to Propeller. No comparison."

Propeller customer support rocks!
The customer support at Propeller is by far the best I've experienced in my 30-yr career in the mining industry.
- The ease of use and the visualization in 3-D that it provides
- It allows me to share information with others on my team with ease
- The resolution of the data is often too detailed to be used in other platforms
- It would be nice to have a better option to smooth the surfaces
Switched From
The owner of the company wanted to switch based on the recommendation of our equipment supplier.

Construction Surveying
Overall very pleased working along side the Propeller team they are fast and happy to assist you with a problem and I believe they are leading edge in drone surveying! Keep up the good work!
- Very user friendly you can walk anyone through how to use the software over the phone
- Being able to pull quantities and print them out in reports is probably the best part of the software for what we do as a heavy highway construction company
Need to be able to see the proposed line work in the reports would be very beneficial so owners can see what part of the job we are referencing to

Use of Propeller in site development
Very useful, I'd highly recomend Propeller.
- Very helpful in weekly monitory the status of construction
- Evaluating dirt movement, checking grades, verifying completion of work
User interface takes a little getting used to and can be intimidating to new users
Switched From
Cost, and more accurate measurement of elevations.
Why they chose it
"We fly a dozen jobs, 30-40 times per year, over 400 flights per year, the annual price made this more affordable than other options."

Fast and Accurate Drone Data Processing and Analysis
Verified reviewer
- Using Propeller is so fast, I have been able to spend all of my time in the field, collecting aerial data, instead of hours and hours tinkering with processing software
- I have processed sites ranging from 1 acre, to 4000 acres
- Then analyzing the data is also fast and intuitive
- Running stockpile calcs, measuring road slopes, pond volumes, surface area, cut/fill reports, elevation color maps, the list of measurements and analysis reports is long
- Customer service is mainly via online chat, although response is quick, and they always solve my problems
- None that I can think of currently, the Propeller team is always adding features and functionality
- They listen to user feedback incorporate it into future releases
Switched From
I was spending too much time manually processing, and keeping a dedicated computer for the task. The web portal for Propeller is also shareable with clients, so they can quickly see the processed data and use the tools as well.
Why they chose it
"Dronedeploy doesn't offer the same level of GCP (ground control point) integration that Propeller does, especially with their Aeropoints."

Great Processing System and Support Team
I think the data and how everything gets point together is great and the accuracy is really coming together I still think I am trying to implement it even more into the company and find new ways to add value.
They give you a lot of data and the customer service is great I love looking at the maps and being able to get all the data our PMs need, and I am so grateful for PropellerU
- That I can only have one known point
- One works most of the time, but I wish we could have two known points on some sites, or if we could know more about the Propeller Corrections Network and maybe find a way to get a known point onto it

easy transfer of survey data to visual presentation quick and easy customer support great collection of the functions
- sometimes it take long to get the measurement and the measurement crashes, too
- would be good to have a function of adding measurement to folder

Propeller Aero Customer Review
I had tried drone deploy and a do it yourself platform, drone deploy required a lot mor ground control and still did not give us the accuracy required for our type of work. We are an aggregate producer and we have a construction project group. Propeller has helped both division become more efficient and productive.
Product support, especially by my assigned success Engineer [sensitive content hidden]
- I will have to try really hard to find something that I don't like about Propeller Aero
- I guess the thing I like least is the challenge of replacing a drone in the system
- I have replaced our drones twice and both times I had to rely on [sensitive content hidden] to get it completed
Switched From
As I stated above, Drone Deploy required too much ground control, in effect we would have to mobilize our gps crew to every site. With Propeller Aero, I am able to use the panels for ground control especially with the corrections network.

Verified reviewer

- 000m2 weekly based
- Our teams (engineers,designers can follow progress without going on site
- Calculate stockpiles and visualise the designs on the platform is a big timesaver
- At the start we had some issues with the belgian projection in the platform
