FME Room for Improvement

Alan Bloor - PeerSpot reviewer

The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point. There must be a technical or commercial reason why it has not been done in FME yet, but many people ask for it, and it just doesn't appear. We can do it, but we have to create a child workbench to do it.

Improvements could be made to mapping presentations. Though there are functions available for this, it is a complex and broad area that is not covered to the fullest extent. There is a presentation module, however, it is in no way a real GIS

For now, there is the FME Forms product to enter detailed data mapping setups, which is a great tool. However, having an online medium for this would be great. In a future version, it would be great to have a website where you can log in and create your workspace to do the detailed data processing and publish it to the FME Flow environment where it can be used to participate in the general data processing setups.

FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions.

In the next release, it would be useful to have recommendations on how and how not to use the different functions. It would be helpful because this is a tool we only use once in a while and you have to wrap your mind around this tool quickly it can be difficult.

The price is a bit high in comparison with other tools. But maybe it's justified because it has a lot of possibilities.
