What do you like best about QGIS?

The best thing about QGIS is it is open source GIS platform. If you know about using plugins in QGIS, then it can be handy to use than high-priced paid software, e.g., ArcGIS. It is easy to install as you do not need any licensing and a standalone software that does not need to manage different parts, e.g., ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox as it is in ArcGIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QGIS?

Usually, people get used to with ArcGIS software, that's why the capability of QGIS is undermined. The interface of QGIS may seem a bit confusing if you are migrating from ArcGIS; however, once you get habituated, you will feel empowered with the unlimited possibilities of open-source GIS software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is QGIS solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps in preparing both vector and raster datasets, preparing maps, analyzing data and even with its plugins, I can make interactive maps that can be hosted on external servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
