I have worked with Esri ArcGIS on the public (StoryMaps) and the licensed side. Once I got the basics down, it was no more or less difficult to operate than any other graphics platform. ArcGIS StoryMaps is a straightforward interface, perfect for a GIS newbie. However, StoryMaps should not be confused with Esri ArcGIS, a powerful industry tool very robust for visualizing data through maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I began working with ESRI ArcGIS, I was provided a link from my institution to ESRI ArcGIS through an AWS share. It was slow, features would crash the platform, and often I could not complete a full map design that was direct from the ESRI ArcGIS sponsored textbook. However, just learning to fight my way through the challenges with the modality my institution provided gave me the foundation to operate and develop maps on the commercial platform. Based on my system and network connection, some functionality is slow, but I have no complaints overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Esri is a full-featured GIS leader. They have a system that creates, manages, analyzes, and maps all types of data. GIS helps users understand patterns and geographic content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One consideration is cost. But for the price, you are getting software with an excellent reputation in the geospatial arena, great reporting, and the ability to handle large amounts of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The professional quality of delivery, the security around data and map layers and the intuitive approach to help GIS developers and designers deliver the best possible product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Low compatibility with the ecosystem, however, the community around ArcGIS is good so the development is effortless. Overall, No complaints. better control on shared access and development in real-time might help optimise workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ESRI ArcGIS has a history of over 50 years in the GIS sector, and with that experience, it has become the leader in this sector. I like the easy-to-understand mapping interface in ArcMap, the vast collection of tools in ArcToolbox, the sophisticated database management and query system etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firstly, it is costly software for enterprise use; secondly, to buy each software extension, you again need to pay, and I find the Image analysis and data interoperability less legible to find out for a new user. Other than the high pricing, ArcGIS excel in every aspect as a GIS tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service and training that is available is the best around! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a little overwhelming for new users, but I believe this is only because its such a powerful design Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoyed ArcGIS even though I didn't major in mapping or remote sensing etc. The tool was easy to learn and has so much to offer. I ended up using it a lot to create all kinds of geojson files and explore around the globe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the UI/UC could improve a little. It can be a bit hard for me to remember the exact list and button to go to finish a task. Maybe improve the new user walk-through a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Esri ArcGIS displays our transportation routes and geographical details with plenty of detail and has allowed us to plan upcoming routes for our drivers. It's geoprocessing capabilities are unparalleled and has integrated very easily with other software that we use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use an onsite server for licensing and it's a bit of a challenge to keep it up to date. It also sometimes takes awhile to load for our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is easy to use, especially the functions are easy and clear to find, I used the software to finish the class project and it can fully show by data oriented method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is hard for beginners to master the software as you will need time to learn on how to use it, and the overall system is not that quick response sometimes. It may need some improvement for robust operation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That is has many ways to display data.you see imagery and data together at different scale. IArcgis has continuously need to evoke and bring new tools. ESRI has moved online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is expensive. I have not used it with a MAC, so unaware of t is compatible. It can take up a lot of RAM. Online product is great but it does not deliver the same user experience as the desktop software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
