ArcPro: good, and getting better **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kyle S. | Data Wizard, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2023 **What do you like best about DFIN ArcPro?** ArcPro is pretty. Also, it makes a lot of this easier to do more quickly than they were in ArcMap, once you find the new locations. There is a big emphasis on analysis, so if that is what you do the most, then you're going to have lots of tools available to you. **What do you dislike about DFIN ArcPro?** Designing maps seems to be lacking. It seems more focused on analysis, so data creation suffers. Some things that were complicated in ArcMap have gotten even more complicated in Pro - like panning, why did panning around the map get more tedious? **What problems is DFIN ArcPro solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am making maps for midstream energy projects, such as oil and gas pipelines or electrical transmission lines. Using ArcPro allows me to create maps by gathering data from lots of different sources, editing it as needed, and preparing both print and online maps. PS - I wouldn't really call it "investor reporting" but that was the only option. It is map making, which I guess is reporting, and fi you think of a boss or clients as investors then... sure, i guess. ### 3. ArcPro - Useful GIS mapping and analysis **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Manuel L. | GIS Specialist, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2023 **What do you like best about DFIN ArcPro?** It has a lot of tools for data visualization and on-the-fly spatial analysis. Works well with ArcGIS online, allowing for seamless data management and sharing. **What do you dislike about DFIN ArcPro?** Coming from ArcGIS Desktop, it was a bit difficult to make the initial transition to Pro. While a lot of on-the-fly tools work great, a lot of the tools that were available for the basic license in Desktop are now paid features in Pro. My biggest annoyance is that I cannot edit data with attachments in Pro. **What problems is DFIN ArcPro solving and how is that benefiting you?** ArcPro and the entire ESRI suite is the leading resource for GIS and spatial data analysis and representation. With some basic understanding and willingness to learn you can produce immersive maps and visualize data with ease. ### 4. New and Improved **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Laura H. | Engineering Assistant / GIS Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021 **What do you like best about DFIN ArcPro?** I like that ArcPro offers a more streamlined interface. **What do you dislike about DFIN ArcPro?** It did take a while to get used to compared to ArcGIS desktop. The setup is very different but worth it once you learn how to navigate it. **What problems is DFIN ArcPro solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm doing a lot of data updates and queries. ## DFIN ArcPro Discussions - [How do you select features in Arcpro?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/how-do-you-select-features-in-arcpro) - [What is a feature class in Arcpro?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-a-feature-class-in-arcpro) - [What are the advantages of ArcGIS Pro?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-are-the-advantages-of-arcgis-pro) - [View DFIN ArcPro pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/dfin-arcpro/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-20+03%3A22%3A00+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=fefbae91-3bfe-4698-961c-2af319dc4569&secure%5Btoken%5D=a29f291b848b399d9405e1e4a8b624ca281ef4834341b68e49ff5d7bb45302c9&format=llm_user) ## DFIN ArcPro Features **Platform Additional Functionality** - Portal - Messaging - White-Labeling **Platform Data** - Report Manipulation - Platform Search - Document Automation **Platform Content** - Email Templates - Email Automation - Custom Reports - Alerts ## Top DFIN ArcPro Alternatives - [Orion Advisor Technology](https://www.g2.com/products/orion-advisor-technology/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (98 reviews) - [Irwin](https://www.g2.com/products/irwin/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (57 reviews) - [Backstop Solutions Suite](https://www.g2.com/products/backstop-solutions-suite/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (46 reviews)
