ArcGIS Online has nothing that you would dislike. The only thing to remember is that everything we do in ArcGIS Online consumes credits, so to avoid excessive and unnecessary credit consumption, make sure you manage and use it appropriately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArcGIS Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am primarily in a support role, assisting my users with their ArcGIS Online-related queries, so I am familiar with the majority of the features in ArcGIS Online, not only the core features but also the ArcGIS Online apps, and it is this that has made the entire experience of creating interactive maps and sharing them with the world a better platform.

What do you like best about ArcGIS Online?

The extensive collection of ready-to-use basemaps and data layers in ArcGIS Online is what I like best. They provide a solid foundation for creating visually appealing and informative maps, simplifying the process of geospatial analysis and mapping. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Online?

One potential drawback of ArcGIS Online is that certain advanced features and functionalities may require additional licensing or incur extra costs, which can limit access for users with more specific or specialized needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArcGIS Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

ArcGIS Online solves various problems in geospatial analysis and mapping. It provides a comprehensive platform with extensive tools and functionalities, eliminating the need for multiple software solutions. The platform's intuitive interface and smooth learning curve benefit me by simplifying data analysis, map creation, and collaboration, improving efficiency in my work.

What do you like best about ArcGIS Online?

It's integration with ArcGIS Pro. Data are easily shareable to a web-hosted feature layer (WFL). The WFL can then be shared with other members in the organization and used for integration with Field Maps and other survey Apps. Or you can use the WFL to create story maps and web applications to share data with non-GIS users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Online?

Because it is an online cloud-based service, it's not always as reliable as you'd like. Similarly, troubleshooting is difficult and time-consuming. Especially when trying to create offline map areas for use in Field Maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArcGIS Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

I primarily use AGOL to create offline map areas for our survey team, who often works in remote areas without service. It's an excellent tool for users to see the landscape of their site. A secondary but equally important use is for sharing progress with our clients. Creating web applications allow non-GIS users to easily view the data and their photo attachments.

Since its a SAAS product it has to be always used in the presence of internet.

Esris monopoly on the GIS world makes the products licensing a costly affair. Although its worth the pay which is delivered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArcGIS Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

GIS is all about showing your maps to plot data, create dashboards, analyze, use field apps connected to the tech and using AGOL even as a way to manage your organizations personnel Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArcGIS Online?

The biggest downside is if you have large dataset to analyze stored in local sorage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArcGIS Online solving and how is that benefiting you?

Traditional desktop GIS software often requires significant investment in hardware, software licenses, and maintenance. ArcGIS Online, being a cloud-based platform, eliminates the need for local infrastructure, making GIS accessible to organizations of all sizes. It allows users to leverage the scalability of cloud computing, enabling them to store and process large volumes of geospatial data without the limitations of local resources.

There are some limitations in labeling compared with an ArcGIS Pro platform. The labeling cannot be positioned by using "left of the line" in ArcGIS Online while this function is essential for various industries e.g. transport modelling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
