"ArcGIS for research"

5/5

What do you like best about ArcGIS API for Python?

I had the opportunity to play around with ArcGis over the summer while conducting research at the University of Michigan. Although my experience with this framework is fairly basic, I found it extremely easy to write Python scripts that allowed for quick manipulation of the various GEO databases I worked with. This data would be presented in beautiful, crisp spatial form that I would then be able to interact with. I absolutely love the visuals this framework provides.

"Great way to automate both analysis and administration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ArcGIS API for Python?

The REST endpoints paired with the Python API provide a great way to intgrate internal licensing and provisioning into our business workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS API for Python?

I honestly wish there were more tools like this developed outside of Python. The endpoints are there, Python is great, but it's always the preferred language, while other tools could help us more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArcGIS API for Python solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our internal provisioining workflow requires internal recharge billing for license usage to our site license. The Python API helps us solve the manual process of any one of 60K users to "purchase" and provision themselves from what used to be a manual process for our licensing team.
