What do you like best about ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET?

The SDK is an all in one solution for all your needs from design to debug using .Net. we can easily design maps and share geographic information to other third party plugins using objects created with ArcGis. The geographic data compiled using this engine is more accurate and easily compatible/integrate with all other application. Its even faster to analyze mapped information and visualize with no hassle. Even though I know python, I feel its more easier for me to write code in .net with this SDK compared to that of using ArcPy library for python. the pre=built libraries are also useful at times and its totally worth it giving it a try for even budding developers because of its ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET?

Even though the development part is so easy using python/.Net sdk but testing the developed application becomes difficult due to its incompatibility with most of the popular automation testing softwares like UFT and Test complete etc. I recommend to resolve this incompatibility so that most companies would lean towards using this product. This only improvement can really gain a lot of market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET:

Best tool for geographic information system space for working with maps and geographic information using .Net framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used ArcGIS .Net SDK to develop a custom map and other design elements for our customer's web application. It took around 3 months for the complete end to end development by the testing part got a little tricky and finally we got customer satisfaction for making the project a success. The maintenance was also a breeze to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArcGIS API for JavaScript?

I dislike the lack of native clustering support, lack of native in-map bar-chart symbology, and 4.x's general lack of parity with 3.x. I also wish ESRI would allow more customizability. I often use Leaflet because of how much more customizable it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArcGIS API for Python?

My organization builds applications mainly using Python and the ArcGIS API is very easy to use and integrate with different programs using Python. The features that they provide such as using APIs for cross-platform and provide about 1,000,000 basemap and geocode transactions per month for free is great for start-ups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS API for Python?

There is a different Commercial Deployment version also for ArcGIS API for Python which includes all the features in the free version and additionally just gives deployment of unlimited revenue-generating apps and ESRI technical support. I believe that for the commercial version they can provide some more benefits to the user too so it can become satisfactory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation provided by ArcGIS API for Python is very easy to understand and so I would recommend anyone considering this to go there first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArcGIS API for Python?

ArcGIS is compatible with Python, the worlds leading scripting language, as ArcGIS is gaining populatity with more than 10 percent of the GIS market share, it is usable in navigation for backpacking and outdoor use. I like the usability of the ArcGIS API for python, versus ANgular 2 for Google Maps. I can also integrate ArcGIS easily to many downstream applications, as development up-time is low so is responsive latency in testing and deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS API for Python?

ArcGIS is sometimes out of this world, like a flying kite and need a virtual window manager to use.

My cat also mixes it up with the real world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
