You can do so many things in ArcGIS. There are tons of options on how to do anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would maybe like ArcGIS to make suggestions if it appears that you're doing something one way and there may be a better option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ESRI has great tech support and forums and user groups/conferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The licensing can be confusing at times especially when dealing with web solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it has a lot of capabilities and tools to get whatever job you need to get done. Support is awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a bit of a learning curve like all software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I went to a training for Esri and I am so glad I did! It is definitely something I would not have learned on my own. My favorite aspect is the already made lessons for students - I have already used a few with my middle schoolers! The lesson planning is already done for you and the students really enjoy manipulating the maps. I am hoping to get confident enough with it that my students create their very own study at the end of the school year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is definitely a learning curve - it is a bit intimidating at first, but is such a wonderful FREE source once you get the hang of it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

some unexplained crashes and need lots of HW resources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Arc Pro has a much friendlier UI than Arc Map and competing GI software packages.The ease of use of ArcGIS Online (AGOL) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Basic processing tools being locked behind more advanced licenses. The transition over from Arc Map to Pro can potentially be lengthy but it is definitely worth investing your time into mastering pro as this is the future of Arc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Esri ArcGIS is the most useful program for linking data and location in a specific coordinate system on different spatial levels and visualize the results on a map. It gives a broad spectrum of tools (Arc Toolbox) for analyzing the data. The link with Excel and AutoCAD is extremely useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Esri ArcGIS can be upgraded in terms of visual representation, both the interface and the external results (the maps). The interface can be friendlier and more practical in order to make the complex tools easier even for beginners. This way more people will be aware of the opportunities that the program provides. In addition, for the external results it will be great if there are libraries with customized colours, pattern, diagrams, even pictograms and infographics, with option to import and export from/to other programs, for example Adobe Illustrator.
Last but not least, there could be a button with link to tutorial and the whole package could take less space in the hard drive. The storage of the files could be organised in packages that might be generated by the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its really helpful and easy to operated and use, its search panel makes thing easier.
ArcGIS contains tools for most of the operations which makes work very easy.
Multiple operations can be done on the single layers and watershed delineation in very easy in this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface could be concise. it displays a lot of information which makes things look very difficult.
I feel that the interface is quite complicated it can be improved. It might be because i have used QGIS earlier so i am more familiar with that.
Rest is really good in ArcGIS

I have been using ESRI products for more than 20 years. The software is very robust and every year continues to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be quite expensive, but for most of us GIS professionals, the price is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like about ArcGIS is the pragmatic approach it takes to offer its users for manipulating spatial data. It offers tools such as 3D analysts, Data Management, Buffer and clip. One of the other cool features is the ArcGIS online service. Users can import a wide-range of sundry data that can be integrated into their own geographical location.

A few of the tools hinder efforts to manipulate which leads to a repetitive, mundane protocol to achieve the desired end results. There also appears to be discrepancies embedded in integrating CAD files into the system. There are times where the system shuts off when bringing a CAD into ArcGIS.
