Mapfry is a professional platform that reaches you via the internet
Quite affordable, with a free plan, it sometimes gives the impression of being a system equivalent to Facebook, Gmail or YouTube, but it's not.
Although a computer works well for internet browsing, research, document preparation and presentations, it may struggle to articulate large volumes of data into maps typical of Geomarketing analyses.
The platform is available in the cloud (cloud computing) and transfer processing loads on the user's computer.
This creates a demand for local processing (your computer) and internet speed.
Resources such as independent video cards are important because there is a volume of high-speed image processing, as demanding as an online game.
Assess that your machine has the minimum settings for a good use of the platform.
