ArcGIS is one of the best GIS software on the market. One could easily appreciate its solid geoprocessing framework and its stellar cartography options for both hardcopy maps and web enabled versions. Moreover, its broad set of editing tools for maps allow in depth manipulation of geographical and topographical maps. Finally, the program is very reliable and stable on Windows.

High costs for implementing and maintaining the software are its main drawbacks. Moreover, the complicated licensing levels make it hard to dispatch the tools needed for a specific task correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy and simple interface, analysing map data and control layers with simple clear options, view and edit attributes for each layer in easy way, add images and do remote sensing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data sharing on ArcGIS online is awesome, but if the data is big it may slaw the process of loading and consume more time, enabling auto clear cash may help on speeding the process.

Also exporting annotation to cad dwg file required some improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It comes with a wide variety of tools for both GIS and remote sensing anlysis. I use it for office work, It comes handy for data visualization and easy interface for map composition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No doubt the software is a complete package for GIS and Remote Sensing user but procurement of this software for personal use is what dissappoints me because of its high price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ArcGIS is a de-facto standard where you're working with spatial data in most companies.

Pros:

ArcGIS is everywhere, in private and government organizations. If somebody talking about GIS, it's most likely about ArcGIS. If you're experienced with ArcGIS it will be easy to learn how to use any other GIS system. The data formats like shapefiles, commonly used with ArcGIS are de-facto industry standards, that are supported by other GIS software. ArcGIS is one of the oldest systems in the market, so it sets the overall trend of how the GIS industry.

As for my personal experiences, I like ArcGIS it's easy to learn, easy to create great maps, and analyze spatial data. I think that the digitizing editor is easy to use, especially when you need to georeference the raster images, and it's better than in competing software.

You can easily automate your data transformation workflows without the need to learn the coding, using the built-in model builder. If you're willing to learn Python, you can automate even more complex workflows using the powerful built-in Python API, accessible right from the user interface.

ArcGIS needs lots of resources, so you need to have a modern computer with enough RAM to be able to use the software effectively. Right now, ESRI in transition between the old 10.x lineup of the ArcGIS ecosystem, to the new ArcGIS Pro. 10.x is almost deprecated when the Pro sometimes still lasks the important features.

Arcgis is very useful in modeling, planning, creating maps, maping, creating polygons, coordinates, connecting gis with databases, and free in creating maps. And it the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In symbology when I try to filter the polygons according to it unique values, I cam filter only upon three columns. Sometimes I need more than three. For the grid lines I couldn't transparency the lines easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

GIS allows you to do almost any type of mapping & analysis you can imagine. It is a universal tool in the United States which means you can get data for almost any part of the country. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a steep learning curve for advanced analysis and features. The power of the tool - the large list of commands and the way they need to be combined to achieve your desired results - is also its main limitation. It is not easy to pick up or figure out by trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's mostly power full and have many other packages with ArcGIS. Like Arcsene , Arccatolog, Arcglobe, and one of my favourite is Arcserver , One can found all the Power full packages in a single Gib package Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data Collection and Database Correction is lighter difficult . I am facing plugin problem mostly in arcGIS and Data integration is bit difficult as compared to QGIS but overall ArcGIS is my favourite one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
