I rate FME a seven out of ten because of the price. The number of types of data you can save and read is growing massively. Similarly, the solution is improving at working with APIs, downloading data from remote sources much more efficiently. There are more transformers, but these are aimed at data types that don't apply to me. Before choosing FME, immediately look into licensing and costs before you go down the road of trials and becoming dependent on the trial. When you finish that trial, you'll find yourself semi-dependent on software. Get the costs first because it's a shock.

I would recommend the desktop version of FME. The company is trying to sell it as a server version with automatically processing capabilities, but it's only buying one shared license for batch processing purposes. That's cost-effective. I don't think we will be able to raise the money for a desktop version. The data we are using it for would have to be very important. I rate FME a nine out of ten.

FME is a great tool, but I don't know if we can scale it up since the prices are high and we would need to convince the decision makers to provide more budget. On a scale of one to ten, I would give FME an eight. To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues.
FME is the data integration platform with the best support for spatial data. Run workflows on the desktop or deploy them in a server or cloud environment.
The overall rating for FME is eight out of ten, and I prefer the feedback to be anonymous. My job title is Senior Solutions Architect.

It is a good product to use. It is well-used in the industry. I rate it a ten out of ten.
