## Warned against

- Badger Maps: 10 of 46 labels negative. "Avoid over-reliance on SMB-focused apps like basic standalone route planners (e.g., some users report routing/mapping issues in Badger Maps, such as backtracking and inaccuracies)" (Grok 4.1 Fast, negative prompt)
- Salesforce Maps: 7 of 33 labels negative. "remains a powerful, albeit highly complex, choice... field reps must navigate it via the standard Salesforce Mobile app, which some teams find slower and less intuitive" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, paraphrase prompt)
- Salesforce Sales Cloud: 8 of 25 labels negative. "Salesforce Sales Cloud/Agentforce Sales lacks native field sales capabilities — no territory mapping, no route planning, no mobile activity capture." (Claude Haiku 4.5, negative prompt)
- Spotio: 5 of 42 labels negative. "SPOTIO/SalesRabbit | Quote-based pricing only; no published enterprise rates" (Kimi K2, budget prompt)
