Extremely powerful tool for GIS, and also for customizing it using R and/or SQL Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A bit difficult to navigate unless you know the menu and its capabilities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Great tools for analytics and help for understanding how the tools work and how they can be used in code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The transition to arcpro is frustrating Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Esri software always has a good help database, allowing newer users to learn how to perform functions and get answers quickly. For newer users, the help function and search are your friends. You can do basically anything with ArcGIS. There are so many field for which this software is useful. You can upload a lot of data and produce clean, professional maps. Symbology is easy to work with and there are many options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The more information you add into one project the slower the software tends to work, which occasionally causes crashes in the product. Sometimes errors occur because you missed a step in the data processing, the software provides you with information that says an error occurred, but sometimes the error messages are vague.

The software is great. It can crash at times but support team is responsive to issues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ArcMap has so many different ways to create maps and visualize data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometime my program runs slowly. My ArcMap freezes when I put "too much"data in and it slows the whole system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program is easy to use and quick to learn, always developing so there's always something new to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The program is the best of it's kind, I have nothing but praise for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much really to like about arcGIS. In my use, I have not liked anything about arcGIS. Even its UI looks like it's from the early 2000s when compared to contemporary applications.
However, arcGIS does have a slew of interesting products for spatial analysis, presentation creation, interactive maps, and website creation that no other competing product has. I have never used these suites but from what I have seen from my colleagues, these elements work decently and produce nice results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's slow and that's an understatement. I use arcGIS for spatial data work on the rather powerful office machines and it still takes minutes to draw a CSV layer? Using QGIS on my ultrabook, I can perform identical operations in less than a second!
Moreover, it's projection and drawing systems are clunky. It takes me hours (sometimes days) to map layers onto the same projections and even then I frequently do not get the desired result. On the other hand, on an open source software such as QGIS, projections are a minor nuisance and take seconds to resolve (even if you're not familiar with the software).
