What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

Básicamente en este punto hay que referirse a la constante actualización del software que repercute en altos costos para los usuarios; en el caso del geoproceso , en ARCMap el usuario ve un poco limitada su funcionalidad en función del tipo de licencia que posea Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ha sido muy importante el uso de geodatabase para los datos geográficos de la organización a la cual pertenezco ya que en la geodatabase, la información espacial se encuentra en un marco de referencia espacial común (Feature Dataset), garantizando las relaciones topológicas. Además permitió, a través del dominio minimizar la posibilidad de introducción de datos erróneos o incongruentes y aplicar valores por defecto y dominios a los campos de la entidad en función del subtipo al que pertenecen, dandole valor a los datos utilizados, asegurando la calidad de los datos geométricos dentro del sistema geográfico implementado, de forma general.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

I liked that on ArcGIS desktop the ease to begin learning how to use Esri products. I used Arcmap to map bighorn sheep movements and I thought it was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

I didn't like how slow Arc Desktop sometimes could be when working with large amounts of data. It may be my computer but it still takes a while longer than Arcpro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Start with Desktop then change to Arc Pro, it will help train you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

that the collection and analysis of authoritative data is transformed into graphical representations that aids human understanding of our world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

Upgrades in general that necessitate re-doing programs and workflows to adjust to new data formats, for example. Yeah SDE is nice, but the power of arc-node topology in coverages is sorely missed. I still tell my colleagues it's coming back as ArcINFO 12. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

The catalog. It allows the program to connect to relevant files on the desktop rather than providing constant access to each and every file in your storage. I assume this impacts the memory usage of the program, making it more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

There are many batch processing features which should be available as default options in the program which are not available at the moment. This could be something as simple as applying the same background color across several layers. These features require coding and are not accessible to non-coders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

Customer service over the phone is absolutely phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Data visualization. Providing a spatial element to any data analysis is crucial and visually effective to the viewer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

ArcGIS is extremely user friendly. Not only this, their online support as well as the online community is so massive there are few questions that have not been asked or answered at one point or another. I've also always enjoyed their community involvement and workshops which go along with Arc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

The worst part about ArcGIS is that it is so "black-boxy". What I mean by that is any processes completed, ranging from geocoding to slope interpolations, do not have an exhaustive list of steps taken to reach the specific geo-coordinates, or percentages. It is also fairly expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

If you find it too expensive, give QGIS a shot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ArcGIS extends well through-out the private and public sector. Being able to share maps with various clients is extremely important, and ArcGIS allows that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use ArcGIS for working with maps and geographic data. I cannot say it's very easy to use, but when you get hang of it, it is very useful and make a big difference in research. The possibility of superimposing data, using different data sources, its capability to be used in different filed, even in social sciences, is great. I usually use it to map archaeological and cultural data, and to run several analysis. It is fast and the best thing about it is that the products of research is visual and understandable to different groups of people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

I do not like the undo option when I am working with it. Sometime when you use undo you'd lose data. Also sometime for some reason that I haven't figured out yet, I lose some of my processes and have to do them again.

Also, it is very expensive! Since I am working for a university we can use it there, but if I am not affiliated with somewhere that doesn't have the program, it is too expensive to purchase it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

It is a great program for different types of data mapping, analysis and spatial analysis. We all need to give it a try in this advancing world of research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Assessing cultural heritage, archaeological sites, impact of natural and environmental factors on different areas, mapping archaeological and cultural resources. The benefit is that we can easily share the results with other experts and also we can use other researches in our own research. It is a harmonious way to share knowledge.
