The best way to share maps on the network
What do you like best about the product?
Arcgis Online is an excellent program on the internet, it has a free version with many options to use and link to the desktop ArcGis. Through this platform, you can create thematic maps, perform spatial analysis, query attributes, share maps made with the platform on social networks, and do many other things. I think it's a great tool, at the forefront of our times, especially in the world of online cartographic platform development. In summary, it is a leading tool in its field.
What do you dislike about the product?
I love the whole concept of ArcGIS Online because it has multiple options that can be used by both former desktop ArcGIS users and those who have never used the program, as the platform is dynamic and simple. However, one of the things I would like them to improve is that there are no limitations in its free version, so that the user can edit and modify attributes of the layers that are added in the projects they create themselves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have had interesting benefits with the ArcGis Online platform in my life, for example, the ease this tool offers to publish maps of interest through social networks, which leads to a widespread distribution of the maps created with many people. Therefore, by using this platform, it is guaranteed that any information uploaded to its website can be shared with the world, if one wishes; and that is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I 100% recommend this ArcGis Online application. This online tool widely allows users who work with GIS, or for the curious, to better understand their territory and explore the world in different themes. I am fascinated by ArcGis Online; it is a leader in its field.
Quick Access to general maps and data
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to access public and private data quickly from multiply sources and other users. The ability to easily create maps online form our own data files.
What do you dislike about the product?
Accessing and uploading data/maps can be cumbersome at times for users. Still need desktop application to process and upload some data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to share GIS data/maps with clients and other consultants. The benefits we have seen are through client satisfaction with maps that are easy to read and understand.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time and get training to learn about the program and how to use it. Don't just throw a user into the fire hoping they will pick it up.
Excellent municipal tool
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS has many benefits in the Planning and Development Department that I work in. My favorite is the ease of use, which enables me to show others how to use the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
ArcGIS can run a little slow, and it definitely struggles on mobile devices.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our office is frequently inundated with calls from realtors asking fairly simple questions. With this tool we are able to give them the agency to find the answers themselves.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are a municipality considering this program, take the leap! There may be a learning curve for those who may not be as computer literate, but once they get the hang of it it will benefit them immensely! The ability to have information at your fingertips, when it may be in ten different places elsewhere, is a huge time saver. The abutter notifications have also eliminated many steps in our noticing process.
Useful for collaborative GIS projects
What do you like best about the product?
I have not used the desktop version but used both free and premium versions of the ArcGIS online, it has all the necessary features you would expect from a cloud based GIS software - space calculation, spatial relationship analysis, cartography, visualization etc. I like how easy and intuitive the software interface is making it very easy to learn. I also like the option to create and edit maps for group projects using collaborative group function that allows all members to contribute.
What do you dislike about the product?
Collaborative function is generally limited to users within the organization making it harder to share data with outside clients
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used it extensively for getting GIS data (there are authoritative maps freely available), creating maps, customizing maps, analyzing the site and so on.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a good alternative to a desktop version if you new to GIS software and would like to try a free version
