What’s best about Arc GIS is that you can use the software for spatial analyses and communicating your results to show a big picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it’s not that easy to use. It may take a while to get the hang of it. I would recommend getting some type of user guide to help someone who’s not familiar at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the software mostly easy to use and I can make almost all adjustments and edits to my maps that I need. I like that I don't need to use ArcOnline or consume credits to do my analyses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is bulky and uses a lot of memory. If I need multiple maps open, the Arc documents take up a lot of space and slow down my computer. It would be great if I could change labels back from annotation if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great toolset for creating and editing maps, and working with 2D objects and shapefiles Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very outdated interface, difficulty to find functions and options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are an amazing amount of tools and flexibility within ArcGIS Desktop. You can usually accomplish a goal in multiple ways with varying workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using large amounts of data in one map document can cause some serious performance issues, even when using a newer PC with high end hardware specs. My biggest gripe is when error messaging provides you with no real explanation of what when wrong. This often requires a deep dive into online forums to figure out what really occurred.

Continuously improving and making complicated programs easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Use of software is not entirely intuitive. Have to be very familiar with tools available in ArcGIS Tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some tedious aspects when using 10.6 in importing census data from american fact finder. Needing to change columns to number columns, saving as a specific type of file, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I usually manipulate data, do spatial analysis on ArcGIS desktop.

It's very reliable and trustworthy software that help me with a bunch of spatial data and non-spatial ones.

It is very user-friendly that I can easily to get a hand from the built-in help.

I also recommend their extensions, such as network analyst tool. This tool helps almost 90% of the routing solutions of my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I feel the modelbuilder in ArcMap ( one of the platform that I do the map most) is a bit buggy.

Although it's a tool that help with recording the whole process, it has a limit of usage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that there are multiple platforms of Arc that I can use and that for the most part everyone I work with understands and knows how to use Arc. Very few employment fields can do the same. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There can be too many options or accessories. It is helpful having the tool needed, but it takes 4 or 5 popups to change a color. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of different tools available for different kinds of data and projects. For example raster and vector data, spatial statistics, digitization, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
