Faster · Easier · Stronger

Manifold Release 9 is a new GIS that runs far faster, delivers superior data science capabilities, cuts through routine GIS tasks, and handles bigger data with better quality than ESRI or any other GIS, all at a lower cost of ownership than free alternatives, only $95 , fully paid. Manifold delivers blistering speed with rock-solid reliability, even with big data. See the YouTube Video: Manifold does in nine seconds what takes ESRI's Spatial Analyst twelve minutes, running all the cores in your computer instead of just a few. Manifold is so fast that ESRI users can save hours by exporting data to Manifold, doing geoprocessing in seconds, and then importing back into ESRI.

"To process even one modest piece of down sampled LiDAR within my region in ArcMap took ~60 hours to produce the 30 inundation layers. As I mentioned previously, this may then require fixing and a re-run of the process. The same process on the same DEM using Manifold 9's distance toolset takes around 40 seconds per layer or 20 minutes for the 30 intervals." - Government user, computing flood levels (emphasis added)

Master all data in tables, vector geometry, raster data, drawings, maps and images. Connect to many sources at once to blend, prepare, extract, transform, load, analyze, validate, visualize and explore your data. Transform data in-place within existing storage or within Manifold. Manifold plays with all. Enjoy huge capacity and speed - hundreds of GB, even a terabyte, on your desktop. Keep up with the fastest Enterprise DBMS and run ahead of all others. No more crashes - Manifold can easily handle data that crushes ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, or QGIS.. Get it done right, and get it done fast with Manifold.

"Manifold 9's best feature is its wicked fast speed. It is great in all things but the rendering speed really is the best thing from an every day use point of view. It is what makes 9 so much easier to use than 8 and a host of other GIS's." - Forum post

The Best of Both Worlds

Manifold combines the visual and spatial power of GIS with the massive data science power of built-in parallel DBMS: Easily accomplish what GIS alone or traditional DBMS tools cannot do. Manifold is both a killer parallel DBMS and the world's most powerful GIS at the same time.

Traditional DBMS and GIS tools come with painful tradeoffs: Classic DBMS tools provide great DBMS capabilities but are often limited by insufficient spatial know-how, difficult spatial workflow and challenging administration, while GIS tools like ESRI may work OK for visualization but are crippled by brutally primitive database infrastructure and laughably insufficient SQL.

Manifold provides the best of both worlds: combining the world's most advanced GIS spatial technology with the world's most advanced parallel spatial database techology. Modern technology is way more efficient, so Manifold can deliver superior quality and performance at a much lower price, only $95, all within a single, clean, easy to use desktop package that installs and launches easier than Microsoft Excel.

Manifold was created from the ground up as the fastest desktop spatial database ever, handling terabyte data using fully parallel DBMS techology and the most sophisticated, fully articulated, automatically parallel spatial SQL query engine ever. Manifold connects brilliantly to enterprise DBMS because Manifold itself is one of the most powerful DBMS packages ever created. Manifold includes hundreds of data formats and data sources, hundreds of military-grade, ultra high precision spatial algorithms, seamlessly integrated with incredibly fast GIS spatial data visualization, for the world's best GIS, all at one low price: only $95 , fully paid.

"Merging is fantastically fast in M9. I merged some lidar tiles a while back in a project which already contained nearly half a TB of lidar data. The 30000x22000 surface was merged and written to a new component in the project in an eye watering 3.5 seconds." - Forum post
