Allows users to publish their own maps, allowing sharing and collaborating with many other departments. Allows the GIS team to create quick OTS applications and share them inmediately, securing it as needed within the organization or outside entities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The standard applications provided by application builder are too simple, widgets do not stand up. The user interface is not very friendly, specially for editing. Managing AGOL can be cumbersome; one has to use third party tools to manage users and mailing lists. Organization of items is not easy to achieve. Everything goes to the root directory by default, and when moving from one user to another, does not create directories by default. Hosted feature management is almost imposible, changes are very complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many types of products for different products to choose from depending on need and skill level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are so many different types of products that the right one for a specific need is not always clear.

I don't like how the types of users keeps changing.

I understand how ArcSDE works and how data is saved, related, accessed and versioned. But I'm not sure how layers are stored, related, tracked in AGOL/portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to import layers from Google Earth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data tends to get lost in translation when importing files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

WebApp Builder is easy to configure and great for customizing web apps for many specific business use cases. It is easy to provide access to maps and apps to users across the company due to the online platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be difficult to work with enterprise data that is hosted behind the company firewall. When deploying a custom web app, it would be great if there was an option to upload the custom app to AGOL itself in My Content and host and deploy the app through AGOL versus an internal server.

The best aspects of AGOL is that is online based so there are not downloads of software needed. In addition there is a free version for people to try which is very helpful with beginners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are clearly not as many options or ways to customize as there are in ArcGIS desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AGOL's facilitation of collaboration between SMEs is what I like best, especially when its ease of use empowers non-GIS users to utilize GIS technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm still hazy on the whole credits thing...but now that I've got an ELA I'm not as worried about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think ArcGIS online is easy to use once you look into it. I could figure out myself with few tutorials. For the basic tasks like creating a map is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really have anything to complain at the moment. I don't use it very often, but I would if is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since the introduction of ArcGIS Online to the Esri suite of products, GIS use among State agencies has increased dramatically. (I am with the GIS coordinating agency for Hawaii State government). We spent years trying to encourage adoption of GIS and with ArcGIS Online, the technology sells itself! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is difficult to manage our large number of users Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first blush ArcGIS might appear overwhelming to a new user, however, a few minutes of exploring will reveal the intuitive design of the product and the robust online training and education support helps new users quickly orient to the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
