Powerful Geospatial Data Handling but FME’s Cost and Complexity Raise Concerns
FME is a geospatial data extraction, transformation, and loading platform featuring a GUI that allows users to create workflows for repetitive tasks. The concept behind this software is excellent! However, compared to the Open-source GDAL, although GDAL has limited functions and capabilities, FME's price model may not be affordable for the average daily user–most only need specific functions or data types, which can be found in GDAL, for their work. Additionally, to support legacy workflows, FME offers many different "transformers" and similar "reader/writers" to achieve the same task. While some see this flexibility as advantageous, it often leads to redundancy, inefficiency, and confusion for the newcomers. Overall, FME is a powerful geospatial data transformation tool; it outperforms all other options but business strategy. - SPATIAL INTELLIGENCE OFFICERGov't/PS/EdGovernmentReview Source

FME saves the Day, Week, Month, Year....
FME makes our field data collection and updating of our database possible - it also greatly helped handle changes during transition from Geomedia to Esri product suite. FME is used to output data for field staff, extraction of said data for QC/QA, and also to create a branch version for final integration back to the database. FME is truly the dream multitool that somehow has a tool for every task! - Data and Analytics ManagerGov't/PS/EdEducationReview Source
