(Original )Information
What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

I like that ARCGIS is easy to get started with and simple to understand. The graphics and the UI of the program make it easy to use and develop complicated mapping systems with relative ease. There are many layers and options of viewing and mapping data points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be difficult to get the locations correct without some information. Can be confusing if you are not careful. Some demographics can be slow to update and lag if connection is not strong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

ArcGIS platform and suite of software products provide the best there is for doing deep GIS. The latest release of ArcGIS Pro contains the FME 2018 engine which allows embedded full motion video within any spatial GIS model you have built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

Esri should invest in creating a native MacOS version, even though they have iOS versions. I know this means a complete makeover of the core architecture, but the acceleration it could provide running on the OSX unix platform would make for the best of the elegance of user interface, the security of a Unix runtime architecture, and the speed of code execution that Apple Computer is extremely jealous about maintaining. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

While the competition has grown, Esri's ArcGIS platform is still head and shoulders above the rest. Much of the field itself has been defined by the evolution of ArcGIS, from terminology, tools, look and feel, to the massive stored data made available to customers and online subscribers. If there is a problem GIS can solve, it is likely that ArcGIS platform will be the first with a tool to perform that solution. Use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcGlobe, or ArcScene, to create maps, and perform almost any type of spatial analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We built a complete 3D GIS of the interior of the San Diego Convention Center (3 floors) and the adjacent hotels (Marriott & Hilton) with conditional routing from any room to any room. We are in the process of creating an iOS version as a template that any convention vendor can populate with their own meeting data for each room. This includes alternate ADA routing across all 3 floors (no use of escalators, etc.). Note: The latest SLICE exploratory analysis tool in ArcGIS Pro allows you to "slice" down through multiple embedded layers of data. This ability to slice up 3D models like a loaf of bread is absolutely mind blowing in potential uses! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

Not really a dislike, but you should really use a desktop computer with some processing power to be able to use multiple tools on multiple maps - all at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

Try to get into some of ESRI's learning modules if you're unsure of what you're doing. Their website is very informative and has free learning options for different tools in ArcGIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I'm using ArcGIS to create maps, analyze data, perform calculations, and provide clients with spatial data collected in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

ESRI software can meet most of your organization's geospatial needs with little to no coding background required. If you need to quickly stand up apps, web maps, and hard copy map production, then ESRI software will likely be a good option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

ESRI software carries a hefty price tag, and switching to other software vendors down the road will be very time consuming. The web application deployment environment leaves much to be desired (latitude geographics Geocortex product does this far better). The software is rather buggy, and can be maddening to work with at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ESRI provides us a way to visualize and analyze data for our internal customers in ways that aren't possible without a geospatial perspective. Specific to ESRI, we are able to quickly build web applications and hard-copy maps for our customers with little custom programming required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
