"QGIS for effective work"
4.5/5
What do you like best about QGIS?

It is the most efficient tool for raster and shapefile image processing. Furthermore, we may download and install this software for free, as well as install many sorts of plugins.

Furthermore, it takes up less space and runs faster than competing tools such as ArcGIS.

It is compatible with Mac operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QGIS?

1. Functionality is limited compared to other platforms such as ArcGIS.

2. Raster images in the windows vanish throughout the processing.

3. Creating the final map is a little more complicated than using Arcgis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"QGIS The Best Free and Open-source GIS Software"
5/5
What do you like best about QGIS?

QGIS is my opinion, one of the best free and open-source GIS software that I have ever come across. QGIS is under active development and updated on a consistent basis.

Compared to the proprietary GIS software QGIS compares very well and surpasses most of them.

QGIS has a number of plugins that extend the functionality of its use, such as the Semi-Automatic Classification plugin that allows for automatic classification of remote sensing images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QGIS?

One thing that I find a bit annoying is the updating procedure for QGIS, where one has to download the entire setup and install it offline.

If they could implement an online update that that would really make the updating process a little less inconvenient.

The QGIS version that is available for Linux OS is usually a bit behind such that one for Windows. Whereas certain aspects work well on Windows, they don't work on Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
