QGIS Reviews & Product Details

User interphase, builtin plugin options. layering options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to dislike about. some difficulty while trying to edit the attribute table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program is free to start, has many of the same features at other enterprise systems, and interfaces easily with plugins. This combination makes this a great piece of software that will continue to grow as you grow your business and knowledge of GIS and spatial analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a free software, there are some buggy plugins and broken links. There is some community support, but I have never had great luck getting individual problems solved quickly. Additionally, the interface is not the most intuitive, but you learn quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Robust set of tools (I haven't encountered anything I can do in ArcGIS that I can't do in QGIS—and in my experience, Q crashes less!), great online community, runs on my Mac, oh and it's free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Geometry editing can take some getting used to if you're used to doing it in Arc, and the layout editor leaves a lot to be desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that its free, open software unlike ArcGIS. It has most features or maybe all as arcgis but also allows you to add plugins and lets you modify source code. It has tons of plugins that you could add and perform analysis. QGIS can perform interpolation or do math in multiple ways, it has GRASS Commands, geoalgorithms, SAGA. Though my use with QGIS is limited to certain area, i can say QGIS can be used in different ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels like QGIS is not so user friendly for beginners, probably the software is not much used or approved by municipalities. Sometimes its frustrating to pin down a right command to perform analysis from the tools you have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to learn application. If you are looking for interfaces to manipulate spatial data, it gives u what u need. If you have experience on python and want to code custom functions, qgis still gives u what u need :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

when using grass addon, qgis sometimes cannot control grass addon and custom intermediate data files cannot be reachable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its Fast, very rarely crashes just be on hold and it will open up.

Can we learned easily and a lot of developers are working on it so its getting improved day by day.

Can we customized by entering into the software script. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Search function is not effective as ArcGIS it needs improvement on that part and even it tools are a bit less as compared to ArcGIS which makes our work more time consuming.

Output templates are not pre created and customization takes time in that for making layouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a lot of the functions I wish ArcView has, such as converting Mapinfo data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not found anything that I dislike yet, but I am a new user Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using QGIS around a year, what I really like on this application it's very sophisticated features in order to implement tasks into your map. With that application you can freely make your maps better and implement multi tasks at the same time. Moreover you can use the statistical package at this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As I mentioned, I have been using the QGISpplication around a year, while using that I did not see any bad thing to complain. But some features are not working properly or do not synchronize on my laptop. I hope in next update that will be solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QGIS has numerous plugins which help in project creation. qgis2web plugin is among the many plugins of QGIS and it helps in exporting my projects as web maps either as leaflets or open layers, including most of my styles in that specific project. It is also cheap to acquire as it is an open source software and thus it is free. It is also light and does not require much space thus can run on many computers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Installed desktop QGIS has less processing functions and the GUI should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QGIS has load of powerful algorithms that perform functions like data analysis, vector and rasterization of mapping resources. There are many tutorials online to guide you on usage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Other than the intimidating interface that has a lot of functions in different sections, I haven't encountered any issues using QGIS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Qgis is a great and simple tool that for me does the work.

When it comes to geospatial analysis I use qgis. I love that its so easy to implement this tool since all I have to do is download it online.It is available as a freeware and has very many versions.

I love that it is kept current and updated on the regular to ensure that it stays current and relevant.

It has great tools, menus and icons that address all the needs of incorporating gps data or any other kind of data be it an image fro google earth and exploiting the data to achieve my set agenda. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First of all qgis is not as powerful advanced as arcgis when it comes to the kind of commands it can execute. For the most part it works profoundly great and handles large data sets and various data types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using the QGIS more than 2 years as a professional environmental scientist. The only GIS application is worth to use ever. I really like and appreciate the creators of the software itself , because it makes the scientists works easier than previous. Because in this market, there many applications, but none of them was as useful as QGIS. And it's free to use rather than other GIS applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though app itself is free to use, which I really appreciate. However there is some features which you can not use properly, or in some cases you can not expect the highest performance from the software, due to the synchronization problem with your devise.

I used the Qgis for the statistical calculation and making map to show the distribution of the Cardiovascular diseases during the last decade in my Country, whilst doing my help to the Medical University.What I like , this software is really beneficial and free to use rather than other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike , unfortunately whilst using the software on the different devices, I have faced that the users can not use the software more properly. Sometimes program is freezing and Geographical Coordinate system does not synchronize . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The SCP tool is a blessing. Right from download to pre and post processing of images can be applied in this tòol. Thanks to Luca Congedo the developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Newer versions are unstable and the tools get a complete makeover which becomes challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QGIS offers many common functionalities provided by core features and plugins.

It is helpful in Map composer and supports for saving and restoring projects.

The best part in QGIS is availability of plugins and wide range of tools that can be customised to perform all the GIS actions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI should be improved and the QGIS software has less professing functions

Sometimes the program freezes during complicated work.

Not all plugins have documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI is very usable and straightforward if you've used a GIS before. One can accomplish everything, or nearly everything that you would have to pay thousands of dollars for otherwise. As such, QGIS is a complete GIS solution for me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I honestly have nothing that I dislike about the software! I enjoy using it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's free and as good as ESRI's ArcGIS. Great with GRASS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the options are hard to find. Some versions are unstable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike MapInfo v16 that I use, QGIS 2.18.16 doesn't require premium/advanced license to access satellite Bing imageries. There is an openlayer plugin that enables web access to satellite imageries. QGIS can perform most Vector&Raster analytical algorithms that ArcGIS does. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I tried opening tabfiles manipulated using mapinfo v16 in QGIS and it was prompting errors saying invalid data source. I think the tabfile has restrictions because the same file can't be opened with older versions of mapinfo. Other than that QGIS has been the most flexible software I employ to perform variety of GIS tasks which I was limited to perform in the other GIS softwares Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that any user can download and begin using this program compared to other alternatives which cost a sizable amount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a substantive learning curve for the software if you don't already have a background in GIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Is there an alternate to costly ArcGIS software performing GIS analysis? yes, and the best is QGIS. The best part is availability of wide range of plugins and tools that can be customized to perform all the GIS actions. Being on open source software, availability to students, graduate engineers and non engineering professional makes this most friendly GIS software. GDAL and OGR libraries come with handy command-line tools. These tools are quite powerful and can save you a lot of effort if you know how to use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

very few dislikes like handling huge files and output not 90% of what ArcGIS produces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Various functionalities are available and it's development it consistent Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike since it's the best open source tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QGis is an inexpensive and open to use software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complex to load information, base maps, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great possibilities of geographical data analysis Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometime functions are not clear or explained Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of QGIS is that it's open source. It's by far the best free GIS option available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area QGIS could improve on is the final display quality for maps. The display options could use some improvement so they can better compare to not-free GIS programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
