NextGIS Web vs OpenJUMP GIS

NextGIS Web is an open-source Web GIS server for managing geospatial data and publishing browser maps. It keeps vector and raster data in a central database that users can work with through a web interface or API. Its map tools support feature editing and sharing, while QGIS Teamspace enables real-time editing of server data with QGIS tools. Built-in version control tracks vector feature changes and allows rollbacks and snapshots. Datasets can be delivered as raster or vector tiles, WMS, WFS, OGC API Features, or through the REST API. Integrations include PostgreSQL, external WMS/WFS/TMS services, and FIRMS fire monitoring. It can run on Linux with Docker, keeping data within a customer's infrastructure, or use cloud plans with US, EU, and APAC regions. The Free cloud plan allows one user, 15 layers, and 5 GiB of storage, with all resources public. Free plan; paid from €15/mo (annual).

OpenJUMP GIS is a free, open-source desktop Geographic Information System written in Java and maintained by volunteers. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows; the site lists version 2.4.0, dated January 15, 2025, as the latest release. It is designed for geometry and attribute editing, map styling, and vector analysis, including topology and overlay operations. It reads and writes shapefiles and simple GML files, with plugins extending support to other vector formats. It can read from spatial databases, write to PostGIS, work with WFS and WMS services, and use images. Maps can be exported to SVG. Plugins add options such as database readers, printing, quality checks, charts, GIS analysis, and raster tools; installation requires placing a plugin JAR in the lib/ext folder and restarting. Users can ask questions in a forum or mailing list, while developers have a separate mailing list and bug reports and feature requests go through trackers. The project notes that it does not provide all the features of proprietary GIS software.
