Making geospatial data available to others is quick and painless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Desktop version (10.6.1 ArcMap) is a bit slow. Context menus cause the screens to blink intermitently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ArcGIS is what is taught in most universities when people are learning how to use GIS. As such most people are familiar with the program. once you know what you are doing, presenting data because a breeze and it helps make whatever point you have even more impactful.

Not necessarily a dislike on ArcGIS but GIS as a whole. Unless you are actively using the service over a period of time, it becomes very easy to forget and lose all the training you've had. The program itself isn't very friendly to users who have used GIS and may have become rusty. Maybe if the program had more help options? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ArcGIS is so useful for all elements of spatial analysis and spatial data visualisation, enabling the production of professional-quality map outputs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are some quirks in the software code which can cause problems with the user, such as limiting length of file names in certail toolboxes, problems with filepath names etc. Software is also expensive and there are cheaper alternatives which do a similar job as effectively.

The natural power of spatially relating meaningful data really can't be understated. This is something that I believe all GIS professionals understand and love. In practice, location based data is on its own informative and provides relational possibilities, context and insight to data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would love to add more data / have greater context. Perhaps in the future there will be high definition base maps or data authorities that will manage / model to a level of detail that is consistent with reality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The Esri SOlutions environment provides the tools required to create holistic solutions from data collection in the field to managing the data in the background, to displaying and reporting infomration and metrics to consumers everything I need to develop and deploy powerful busness applications exists within the Esri Solutions Suite and it is instantly geo-encoded for spatial and temporal purposes.

Whats not to like about a hetergeous environment for building critical applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface is very good. The tools available can suffice most is the users' needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a few minor bugs here and there, for such the software crashes sometimes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the customizability of the software with the use of Python and R that allows for the building of niche geoprocessing and data management tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike the fact that certain data types like very large raster data sets significantly slow down ArcGIS programs and cause them to crash on occasion. I do wish that there was an automatic save function that would save every change made every 30 seconds or so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As far as GIS software goes, nothing is more user friendly than products in the ArcGIS suite (pro, map, ect.). Also there are o many extensions that allow for more versatility in my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The main problem I have is the price, it's easy for large crporations to afford enterprise licenses or individual licenses, but when some friend of mine are looking at getting it for projects like Civil Air Patrol, it is way to expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
