What do you like best about Esri ArcGIS?

I love how user-friendly this program is. Whether or not you have any experience with ArcGIS, you can still maneuver your way through and learn how to create maps. If you are experienced with mapping, it can very easily create very precise and presentation-worthy maps. ArcGIS Online is also great since it is cloud-based. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Esri ArcGIS?

I wish there was more symbiology and styles. Also, having to import old styles one and a time can be very annoying and tedious. The toolbars can be a little confusing at first - they take some getting used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

ArcGIS is used by so many people so it is worth it for an individual or a company to purchase the product. The support team is always helpful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am learning to create maps for our transportation department at my workplace. ArcGIS is useful and used by everyone so it's easy to share files. We create maps for our clients that very clearly label issues and solve problems. This program is extremely useful for engineers and planners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
