"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.

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.
