What do you like best about ArcGIS Business Analyst?

ArcGIS offers intelligence based maps and user experience capabilities that provide deep insight into what each business-- or customer-- is looking for. Whatever it is that your business might need to show on a map or to portray in terms of location, ArcGIS offers it and then come. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Business Analyst?

However, that's all it offers. There is a limited amount of options available for what one might be capable of accomplishing if they were given the full scape and scale of what you can do with other software like Autocad among others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ArcGIS Business Analyst:

Keep using other options that are available so you can see what best works with whatever you are trying to implement on your site without having to deal with having a big and huge idea and realizing far too late that what you envisioned before cannot be completed on ArcGIS alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArcGIS Business Analyst solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business analyst makes it easy to track where and when customers are looking for when they visit the site and it helps gear targeted ads towards what they might be looking for. However it isn't until you want to start doing more that you realize there are other possibilities out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArcGIS Business Analyst?

I like the simplicity of the application (online- browser only version). I like how there is practically data for any location in the U.S. For the most part is a REALLY well accepted product in our organization, but it does have a few drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Business Analyst?

The first thing I don't like about it is formatting. When building an infographic, there are VERY limited vector icons to use for the infographics. Our organization has to build so many icons to use. Second, there is a major formatting issue with the infographics. We often run a report (infographic) and when we see the product the numbers or formatting cause issues and then we have to go back to the infographic and adjust and then re-run the infographic. This costs us a lot of credits. If there was a way to "re-run" the same infographic and to fix formatting without costing credits that would be extremely helpful. Lastly, the source of all the data is kind of a mystery. I get asked all the time "where do they get this data" and the answer is "i really don't know" if there was some more open communication about the source of these "7,000+" variables, that would be very helpful.
