GeoHECRAS 2D is easy to use for someone who has experience with ArcGIS. It includes the US Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS model which easily provides automatic mesh generation and faster simulation for flood modeling. The GUI interface is also great to work with.

It may not be as widely used as another 2D river flow and floodplain inundation modeling software can be expensive for a single user and may require an initial learning phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GeoHECHMS is built upon a robust mapping system with support for ESRI, Autodesk, LIDAR and numerous other file formats. The interface is straightforward which is an incredible feat, considering the depth of the subject matter. Other software vendors need to take note of how CivilGeo makes software for end-users, instead of computer scientists! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not see a downside to use of this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
GeoHECRAS stands as a robust tool for hydraulic analyses, offering a seamless journey through intricate water systems. I have been working to explore its features, accuracy, and user-friendliness, revealing how it empowers engineers to navigate the complexities of hydraulic modeling with confidence.

Nothing so far I am still exploring GeoHECRAS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is an excellent software tool for hydraulic and hydrologic modeling. It's easy to use and helps professionals create and manage complex models for rivers, bridges, floods, and storms. What's great about GeoHECRAS is that it can work with different types of data, like maps and pictures, and make really accurate and cool-looking pictures of what might happen in a river or during a flood. It's also smart and can learn from what it sees in real life, which makes the models even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A downside to GeoHECRAS is the cost of the software, which may be relatively high for small businesses or individual users with limited budgets. Additionally, the software requires a powerful computer system to run smoothly, which may add to the overall cost of using the software. However, if you're a professional who works with rivers, floods, or other water things, then GeoHECRAS is a must-have tool for your work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Having the 2D and 3D features in this program makes very intuitive the flooding modeling process and helps to catch any errors. I also enjoy easily importing/exporting to other BIM programs as Civil3D. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some features I still haven't learned to use. I haven't looked for new training but there is some on youtube and customer support has been very helpful and responsive to any questions I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing about the program is the staff. Their engineers are available 24-7 to help you learn the ropes of this complex modeling system. Being in the field for some 30 years, with 20 of those solo, the rapid and ever-changing advances of H&H modeling technology seemed impossible to maintain. After several 4-day training sessions with others, 2D modeling concepts began to sink in, but practical use was always far off until I started using GeoHECRAS-2D.
The staff at GeoHECRAS guided me through the development of an extensive modeling program (over 6,000 acres) that included multiple detention ponds, major stream realignments, and floodplain fill. The model was diverse as it utilized many of the powerful features found in the program.
The staff was very thorough, patient (I'm old school), over-the-top professional, kind, and well-trained. Only a few advanced issues required the assistance of their most seasoned engineers. The team leader also chimed in a few times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much to mention here. The downsides are related to HECRAS modeling, not GeoHECRAS as an interface. There are a few improvements that can be made, but they often update their programs and dish out reinstalls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The GUI for GeoHECRAS allows for models to be created quickly and efficiently. The MS Office style ribbon at the top of the screen works well for windows users as it provides a familiar feel to the GUI. The generate terrain option from multiple elevation data sources is very helpful as it is common practice to merge elevation data files from CAD and other elevation data sources.

The learning curve for GeoHECRAS is initially a little steep, but that is how it goes with design software capable of performing many tasks in different ways. Creating a model wizard could help beginning users develop a model quickly, but that may have unforeseen downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very Useful for determining flows in a subbasin based on NRCS methodology and Snyder's Unit Hydrograph methodology. It is very helpful to see the subbasins against the google hybrid basemap layer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From what I know it is an expensive software and at times it is not available because all of the licenses that we have purchased are already being used but this is a rare occurrence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
