I like the wide net of research you can conduct using mapping and GIS software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be extremely confusing to a new user. It took me awhile to navigate through what I wanted to do in terms of specific data for the city I'm working for Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the functionality of ArcGIS; with every new project, I seemingly find a new application the software helps with. It's wickedly useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike how slow it can be, and how glitchy it can be sometimes. I also feel like some features are overly complicated, and have large learning curves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
robust tool, fantastic tool for creating comprehensive maps with insightful data and pictographic reports Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
license can be expensive and perhaps b/c it is such a complete system, it can sometimes be confusing to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am linked with geographic and territorial activities, therefore the use of ArcGis in my work and studies is essential. This program has helped me in the visualization, management, editing, calculation, analysis of georeferenced entities and attributes in my daily life.
Another aspect I like about ArcGis is the use of ArcCatalog, which allows searching and performing operations in a pleasant way, enabling direct connections with database servers, GIS servers, databases, WMS servers, and its connection with groups of information available on the Internet and intranet.

In general, I like the program a lot and I have been using it for more than 12 years. However, this program increasingly demands higher requirements from the computer where it is installed, for the graphical part to function optimally, which can cause delays when working with a significant number of entities displayed in Arc Map.

I have many years using ArcGis, it is a fundamental tool for my work. I have had the opportunity to try other GIS software, and I have found that ArcGis is really powerful. I find it easy to use, it has a user-friendly interface and a wide range of geoprocessing tools available. I also like that it offers several options to reach the same result, allowing you to choose the best one according to the circumstances, and moreover, the cartographic output is incomparable.

One of the disadvantages of the software is its high costs. On the other hand, it requires a powerful computer to execute tasks quickly. In the thematic cartography section, I have always been displeased with the limited options when we want to create graphs to represent variables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most representative feature of ArcGIS is its ability to support a large amount of information with high processing speed, allowing the generation of thematic maps of great value, which are accompanied by complete and manageable databases for any professional. On the other hand, the tools that ArcGIS possesses are unique in terms of ease of use and reliability in the results. Additionally, the support for satellite images in this software is excellent, as it allows the combination of bands in a practical and user-friendly way, which increases productivity and efficiency. The design of cartography is very easy to learn and use, with a wide range of colors, shapes, graphics, and figures, and the ability to save symbol palettes and structures is excellent.

The license for this program is a bit expensive, it is its biggest disadvantage, but in reality, in terms of its functionality, it is worth what it costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are faced with the most comprehensive Geographic Information System on the market, just by displaying the tool menu we realize that we have more than 40 options to process geographic data of any type (raster, shapefile, cad, among others), in addition to all the tools for data transformation, spatial adjustment, raster image statistics, altitude modeling through digital elevation models, all complemented with numerous extensions that allow focusing on particular topics, such as the processing of statistical information for spatial purposes, geodesign, or three-dimensional modeling. Simply put, ArcGIS is the best GIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ArcGIS is an extremely expensive software, which limits the possibilities for many people to use it as a common work tool. This cost limitation directly affects where the software is implemented, as it is large companies or public institutions that have the capacity to pay for it. A small or medium-sized company, or a group of entrepreneurs, would not be able to acquire the software, thus limiting the ability to use this incredible tool.

I like that they are always adding new features and are continually trying to make their product better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can't say that all of it is really intuative, there are some issues they have with labeling and it's not necessarily easy to set a labeling hierarchy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use ArcGIS for asset management of our transmission and distribution system. Without it we couldn't manage our workplan for maintenance. We use it for planning, storm restoration and just about anything esle you can think of. ArcGIS tools are easily accessible to new users who are unfamiliar with GIS.

I hate the red tape with trying to deploy things to masses. Our users are not tech savy and have problems with setting up apps on their phone which makes it difficult to deploy apps. I also get tired of having to use a third party vendor to make the ESRI core product useable.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
