Esri ArcGIS Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about ArcGIS is the accuracy and reliability of its drone data processing. It consistently produces high-quality 2D and 3D outputs, which are essential for my professional estate management use cases, such as building construction inspections and modelling. Another standout is its seamless integration with the wider ArcGIS ecosystem, which makes it easy to combine drone-derived data with existing GIS layers and supports better decision-making across teams. Finally, ArcGIS’s enterprise-grade security and scalability are a major plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the biggest issues for me is stability. ArcGIS can occasionally crash, especially when I’m working with large datasets or more complex drone projects, and that disruption breaks my workflow. The update and installation process is also frustrating in an enterprise environment. Updates often require administrator privileges, which makes things cumbersome in large organisations where we rely on central IT teams to handle installations and keep the software up to date. Another major drawback is the poor integration with Microsoft OneDrive, which adds extra friction when trying to manage or share files through that platform.

Simply the best cartography and geospatial analytical software. The updates in Pro since its launch have not only upgraded the current Pro experience, but also expanded greatly on the original ArcMap software I learned on. It is much more user-friendly and easier to learn to use than the original software. The many analyses and geo-tools you can use make visualization and analysis much clearer and useful.

Honestly, I wish there were a free version that could compete with other open-source mapping services. It makes sense that ArcGIS Pro is marketed towards professionals and companies with budgets that make sense to invest in the software, but a free, limited version would be great to help people learn geospatial analysis and have a fun and easy-to-use mapping tool.

In my opinion the ecosystem is extremely comprehensive, its very easy to use and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Licensing and extensions can become expensive as the platform scales and maybe some workflows can be complex for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simple to use easy to access and use It's tools. Whether it's editing spatial data or creating new dataset it's alway comes in handy for me. I used it for completing project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are not much drawbacks of ARCGIS but some times adding data becomes too complicated between differenct versions and other thing is when we transfer data from someone's work station sometime it value of datasets becomes changed. Nothing else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not enough collaboration with smaller companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's work with both mode online and offline and 3D visualization is good,best for network designing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Training required and less compatible with some other tools,costly for small businesses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user-friendly interface of ArcGIS, which helps in a lot of fields. Applications like Google Earth, AutoCAD & all the Databases make planning & implementation a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ArcGIS needs a lot of memory and extra room to work appropriately. So that in case we don't have an updated pc, it can create some issues.

There should be expanded Admin choices accessible to rearrange/limit choices accessible to the end client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful functionality to do map layers and visualizations, gain insights from geospatial analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not as user-friendly as other vendors because of the vast options of functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The graet deal of flexibilty to integrate data. Accessed multiple times during the work day, daily users love the maps as a basis to research data/setups/planning. Easy for them to use! Creating maps is pretty stright forward, but requires some time. Linking to software is also pretty easy. Cut and paste... Customer support from ESRI and Brightly is AWESOME!

Not too much on the downside. Perhaps the time to draw maps is pretty chalenging. I suggest starting with a GIS firm and take it from that point! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
