What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

The ease of use, users can build an ops dashboard without having to know coding or dev work. Users now have the ability to build a dashboard and customize it to meet their needs. The customization of the data flow is simple and making the dashboard look and feel the way our company needs it to. The Ops dashboard has given us a real-time view of data flow combined with the geoevent server and filtering data streams we can view our regions of the world and monitor drought, weather, crime, and other natural resources and their current state. The online training and documentation is great, keep up the good work when it comes to producing quality recent videos and documentation in the ESRI online learning portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

The ops dashboard dosnt allow for internal alerting to text or email. I have to set that up on the geo event server which is not as simple as using the ops dashboard. I wish there were other colors instead of dark and light, we may need an ops dashboard to have a dark blue background or a tan background for work in Egypt. Setting up the dashboard can be a bit of a learning curve for those who are not use to ESRI products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

Go to a demo, try the online free ArcGIS cloud, meet with an ESRI rep and see whats possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have solved the issue of tracking all of our intrests in one location, we can see whats happening where and when with the ops dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

I have been working with ESRI products for well over 10 years now, and its been amazing to see how quickly the technology has been evolving and streamlining. It always seems to be one step ahead in anticipating the needs and requirements of its customers, clients and the public at large. The accessibility to online training is also a tremendous asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

Along the same lines as why I like ESRI products - the speed at which the software is developing and changing year to year creates some challenges in trying to understand new functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

Take as much training as you can, there is so much to learn about this product Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work in a contingency and emergency operations center for the US Army Corps of Engineers, and we have been developing numerous emergency dashboards and story maps to relay information relating to wildfires, hurricanes, etc. We have devleoped viewers for our power missions, blue roof missions and debris missions using AGOL, and using them to brief our senior leaders.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

There are SO many different uses for ArcGIS; I've worked with the program for two years now and only really used two main functions! No matter what sector you are in this will be immensly valuable! The visualization tools are constantly improving and already make amazing maps both on-screen and on tangible media, and obviously the analysis tools leave little to be desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

The largest issue that I've run into is the program crashing. I deal with big data on relatively new machines and despite their power, it can be pretty easy to overpower them. While it is easy to get the hang of what the software will or will not be able to handle, it would be nicer to have a program which draws less processing power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

Just like any program, it just takes a little bit of time to get the hang of. Also, the online trainings are quite valuable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am a research assistant dealing with historic public health, so the major benefit is pattern recognition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

ArcGIS has a full stack of GIS tools, ranging from mobile, to desktop, to server, to cloud and to web. They have numerous offerings from more generic products through to highly specific industry based and focused tools. This allows them to operate over a wide range of industrys and really push thier products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

Esri/ArcGIS has a much slower development cycle than many of their (open source) competitors. You'' find that other companies will release new tools/functionality and a while later (often a year or two) Esri/ArcGIS will release the same functionality touting it as the latest and greatest. Because of thier market share, people often aren't aware that the smaller companies havebeen doing it for quite a while.

ArcGIS Pro seems to be a backwards step in terms of functionality, however it is great to finally see 64bit and multithreaded support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

If you're looking for a full enterprise stack, then pick arcgis. If you just need to do basic mapping, or simplier analysis, look elsewhere Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

A full stack, enterprise level GIS system that allows us to manage and distribute data, services and tools across a wide platform and 100s of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

Being able to carry out a large amount of spatial analysis, use of statistics, and establish studies of all indoles, the use of satellite images and rasters allow the user a huge range of applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

The costs of the license and of the extensions can generate a problem in the moment that an analysis is needed and there is no tool available, so we must be very attentive to which of them we are really going to need and pay . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

Its mechanics allows us to locate ourselves in the best way in the world, so my recommendation is to the companies to manage their staff in this software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

Esri's ArcGIS is the standard GIS for a reason, it simply works. Esri provides quality services and products that will fulfil your requirements. There might be other GIS software around, but they do not provide the service Esri can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

Esri makes a great GIS, sadly it comes at a cost many can not afford to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

Although much of the geoprocessing capabilities are available for free in other open-source software packages, non of the others provide the survice and backing. It is equal to using Windows 10 to Linux, they both do the same thing and depending on situation one performs better the the other but for a majority of your computing windows is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have realized that Esri does a spectacular job at providing customer support and troubleshooting services. Their software is expensive but they do stand behind it 110%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

The amount of modules and spatial analysis tools that this software has make it the best and most complete system to work with, as long as you have a good computer. This software is one of the most robust in the market; Your space analysis tools are well developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

Because it is a very robust software it is necessary to have a computer with good memory capacity to be able to have a better and faster results in the processing of geographic information. The image processing module does not seem so complete, I think it is necessary to develop it more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

Before acquiring this software it is necessary that they have good computers, because if they are going to work with satellite images the program will be very slow to process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is the most advanced geographic information system software on the market, it is very complete and has helped me a lot with spatial analysis tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
