with its highly compatible user interface and wide functinality ranging from urban planning to watershed analysis, ArcGIS is exteremely multifaceted for spatial analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The license has a high cost for the individual system and not open source. Multiple extensions need to bought for different use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A potent software that allows the user to view, alter and analyze GIS data. ESRI has a lot of tutorials and information that allows you to learn the software and how to use it quite well, even with minimal prior GIS knowledge. I have used QGIS (the free version) previously and the added features are helpful, especially with regards to the analysis toolbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it would be nice if there was an easier way to edit the individual layers, especially when they are not correctly aligned (not due to the software), but due to the layers themselves. This would allow an easier time for use to use the information that we have at our disposal to the best of our ability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


After completing the MOOC two courses on Esri, I got so much knowledge of GIS, which feels nice. The Cartography was very interesting and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I was doing a QGIS course and that was translated from French to English, and when I was going for the material, I was unable to find the material on that platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

with 22 years experience on ESRI GIS management, ArcInfo, Arcview and now ArcGIS the data management has become so easy, that for the new users all complications have disappeared, all taken cake, from projections to data availability, also the graphical interface have has been improving to such an extent that it is impossible to think about the previous versions, with the arrival of ArcGIS Pro it could mean an even greater evolution, being this software a worldwide standard, that is why regardless of the language of the end user, it provides a means of communication through maps.

I think of the biggest weakness I can perceive is the dependence on the internet, currently, with ArcGIS Pro, where ESRI is betting, leaving behind ArcGIS 10.8.1, a very risky move, that if it doesn't work well will leave a lot of room for the end user to choose new Open Source alternatives.
The other aspect of concern is the poor integration with CAD infrastructure and Sketchup, where ESRI loses prominence in the professional technical field, as well as the total abandonment of the 3D capability.
The fact of the use of cloud data, could also be a confidentiality issue, which is one of the factors why I chose 9 out of 10 for the probability to recommend ESRI as a spatial data management infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since I used it for a very long time, I liked its interface. It has lots of features available on it. The toolbox on it has lots of features with raster vector data analysis. It has nice documentation of each feature and a clear explanation about each toolbox and features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It doesn't support the geojson data, we need to convert it before loading it to the ArcGIS. It is also hard to find the required features/plugins. We need to fully depend on the official documentation of ArcGIS and there are not many resources from other sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The customer service is excellent as with the operational side of ESRI software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dislike that the software crashes quite frequently and needs very high specs on the PC to perform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how consistent ESRI is from upgrading to upgrade. Great tools and amazing support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Switching between Arcmap, arcPro, and ArcGIS online can get a bit confusing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
