"Powerful and user friendly tool"
What do you like best about ArcGIS Desktop?

Despite its interface and limited customization options I must say that the cartographic capabilities of ArcGIS Desktop are truly impressive. The software offers configurations that eventually prove to be advantageous. Although it can be complex, at times it provides a range of features. The only downside is that it tends to slow down when dealing with datasets. Nevertheless even though it includes tools that I might not personally utilize I still consider it to be a choice for my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Desktop?

The access to features such as editing attachments and conducting analysis without an expensive Advanced license is quite limited. Additionally the online version comes with a cost, which often leads us to rely on partnerships, for access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Ultimate GIS Powerhouse"
What do you like best about ArcGIS Desktop?

It has a charm that I personally enjoy. While it may not be as customizable, as programs I find that this actually helps me stay focused on my tasks. However what I love most about ArcGIS Desktop is its ability to create maps. It might not be the best in the market. It still allows me to add those final touches to my maps in a satisfying way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Desktop?

I dislike its cost, which limits accessibility and makes collaboration difficult for departments. It can be frustrating when we have to rely on another department for account access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Go-To GIS software"
What do you like best about ArcGIS Desktop?

It is the leading GIS software for a reason. It has all the tools you need for data management, analysis, and cartography. The most widely used GIS software expands beyond a desktop application with several online tools. While new iterations of the program are now available (ArcPro), ArcGIS Desktop remains a powerful GIS program I still use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Desktop?

The look and style of its interface may seem outdated to some. It is less customizable as compared to other programs. My biggest dislike, however, is its cartographic ability. While still very good, I do find myself putting the final touches to my maps in ArcPro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best for spatial analysis process"
What do you like best about ArcGIS Desktop?

As a landscape architect, Arcgis is providing a great help in understanding the regional setting as well as micro elements in landscape. I don't think any other competitors have such detailed data formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Desktop?

Took some time in mastering the software.

Also I couldn't find the shortcuts in the beginning and dragged a lot in the process. But later, watched some YouTube tutorials and gained speed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
