The GIS market seems monopolized with Esri dominating the market. This affects the pricing for products as there are no competitors. What Esri dictates goes, and this is seen in the prices of Esri credits.

What's not so appealing is the high product and credit cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn't easy to use. There are two sides to that: 1) the slowness to start creating solutions; 2) once I learned, there is little competition because I can do things others cannot. I recommend Esri 100%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Esri ArcGIS:

Integrate Esri with Power BI. Pay attention to data storytelling because if the visualization is not good, users do not understand the information. Take advantage of ArcGIS Hub to work collaboratively. Use ArcGIS Quick for quick territorial data capture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have created applications to see the claims of citizens in the Government of Cordoba. I have taken advantage of ArcGIS Survey 123, and I take data from social networks.

We can say there are some little flaws in this software Which are.

It takes a little time for generating different data sometimes the consumption of timE is in very largeamount if the layers generated are large in numbers.

The coordination of using it can be complex as the software needs guidence to operate.

The cost of the software is little uneasy for low budget projects.
