"There is a reason they are the "go-to" GIS program"

5/5

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

A potent software that allows the user to view, alter and analyze GIS data. ESRI has a lot of tutorials and information that allows you to learn the software and how to use it quite well, even with minimal prior GIS knowledge. I have used QGIS (the free version) previously and the added features are helpful, especially with regards to the analysis toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

it would be nice if there was an easier way to edit the individual layers, especially when they are not correctly aligned (not due to the software), but due to the layers themselves. This would allow an easier time for use to use the information that we have at our disposal to the best of our ability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Esri ArcGIS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using ArcGIS in order to inform the public about property specific information relating to environmental features that are regulated. We are able to do this much easier than using standard paper mapping and I am unsure what other options we would use if we did not have access to this GIS software.

"the evolution of data management on ArcGIS infrastructure."

4.5/5

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

with 22 years experience on ESRI GIS management, ArcInfo, Arcview and now ArcGIS the data management has become so easy, that for the new users all complications have disappeared, all taken cake, from projections to data availability, also the graphical interface have has been improving to such an extent that it is impossible to think about the previous versions, with the arrival of ArcGIS Pro it could mean an even greater evolution, being this software a worldwide standard, that is why regardless of the language of the end user, it provides a means of communication through maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

I think of the biggest weakness I can perceive is the dependence on the internet, currently, with ArcGIS Pro, where ESRI is betting, leaving behind ArcGIS 10.8.1, a very risky move, that if it doesn't work well will leave a lot of room for the end user to choose new Open Source alternatives.

The other aspect of concern is the poor integration with CAD infrastructure and Sketchup, where ESRI loses prominence in the professional technical field, as well as the total abandonment of the 3D capability.

The fact of the use of cloud data, could also be a confidentiality issue, which is one of the factors why I chose 9 out of 10 for the probability to recommend ESRI as a spatial data management infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

on my side, the option to kill ArcGIS and continue with ArcGIS Pro, its major setback, I hope for the best. and I'm requesting an second look on this decision, for the most ancient ESRI users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Esri ArcGIS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Projections, database merge, remote sensing from imagery, logistical models and prospection models, time efficiency and homologation that is crucial on most international databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Esri ArcGIS is very nice GIS commercial tool but I recommend to use open-source QGIS."

4/5

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

Since I used it for a very long time, I liked its interface. It has lots of features available on it. The toolbox on it has lots of features with raster vector data analysis. It has nice documentation of each feature and a clear explanation about each toolbox and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

It doesn't support the geojson data, we need to convert it before loading it to the ArcGIS. It is also hard to find the required features/plugins. We need to fully depend on the official documentation of ArcGIS and there are not many resources from other sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Esri ArcGIS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have faced the following problems,

1. It suddenly crash something when we were doing the task

2. Sometimes we faced the problem of masking the raster data with shapefile

Benefits,

1. Easy to use

2. Can quickly produce the map layout

3. Can do the suitability analysis, network analysis, LULC map etc

4. Supports the ArcGIS online to publish the map quickly and easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
