A great option for cloud mapping
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to use geospatial information created by oneself, and being able to visualize it online, and in addition to that, having millions of users view and comment on your work, is the best feature of ArcGIS Online. With basic knowledge of GIS and management of spatial databases, you can create your own thematic maps and add the information you want. The maps created with this tool have no limits; they can even be made for a specific purpose, such as celebrating an event or demonstrating the effects of a natural disaster in a specific place. Additionally, from time to time, they offer free courses on very up-to-date topics regarding the management of raster and vector information.
What do you dislike about the product?
Many of the tools available in ArcGIS Online are paid, which sometimes limits the opportunities for people who do not have the resources to pay for them to try them and verify their potential. This can be a significant limitation, given that some entrepreneurs need these tools to showcase their products and have no way to afford them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ArcGIS Online allowed us to produce a delivery route map and share it with our suppliers, so we and they knew the routes, where the bottlenecks were, what the possible alternatives were, and what type of vehicles could be more efficient to optimize delivery times and reduce delays.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a tool that all GIS users should try, as it offers multiple options for creating cartography and a simple yet impactful visualization. Additionally, many people can view your work, and this can be a springboard for new job opportunities related to the use of GIS.

The online version of the best GIS
What do you like best about the product?
Many of the activities you can perform with desktop software are found intuitively, simply, and for free with this version of ArcGIS. With the simple creation of a user and basic GIS knowledge, you have at your fingertips a tool that allows you to share everything related to geospatial data, attributes, spatial analysis, thematic mapping, and much more, including managing multitemporal maps or creating files highlighting one or several features of a place in a specific territory, all with information you upload to the cloud and is always at your disposal.
What do you dislike about the product?
Just like with the desktop version, some applications or specific modules are quite expensive, which in some cases limits the users' ability to exploit all the virtues of this great tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ArcGIS online has allowed us to share geospatial information with workers from other institutions and show them where we are carrying out our work, at what time, what type of physical and human resources we use, and what the spatial distribution of our activities is, all through the public access tools of geospatial databases that ArcGIS online presents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
They have to use ArcGIS online and realize that they are facing one of the best tools on the market for sharing geospatial data, the file support it offers, the large number of options, and the ability to create custom applications make this tool one of the most comprehensive for processing and sharing geographic information in the cloud.
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
An indispensable tool for a spatial analyst
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to have powerful software like Arcgis at your fingertips whenever needed. This tool allows for the creation of maps very easily, with just a few clicks a user with GIS knowledge can load data from anywhere in the world, add attributes, and generate spatial analyses from any location with just the creation of a user account and a good internet connection. In addition to the aforementioned benefits, the Arcgis Online platform constantly offers free courses with certificates on current topics related to GIS management, especially linked to the handling of raster data and vector data. These courses are a very useful complement, as they allow, on one hand, to learn about the new technologies that ESRI is developing in the GIS area and also to practice the use of this technology in real situations. A final point to add is the option the program offers to create applications in an intuitive and simple way, which can be very useful for analyzing everyday situations or showcasing examples of studies conducted with the application of GIS technology.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the drawbacks, besides the cost of being a PRO user, is trying to assimilate the entire range of tools presented and trying to take advantage of all of them simultaneously. This ArcGIS format was not created with the intention of exploiting the GIS market, but rather with the intention of sharing news, analysis, tools, applications, and ways to analyze and visualize data among millions of users worldwide with the aim of spreading the use of GIS. Some may find it negative that their ideas are shared for free, but to learn, it is necessary to share and show what we know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ArcGIS Online has allowed me to perform specific spatial analyses with urban data, where I have simply shown how certain patterns of population concentration affect the environment or are susceptible to degrading it. The utility, therefore, is that it helps to plan and manage areas that need protection and continuous evaluation due to their vulnerability.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think they should offer opportunities in the form of contests or competitions where PRO users of this system are granted for free, especially focused on Latin American countries, where it is very difficult to access very up-to-date tools because the costs are very high for us.
ARCGIS online: Ready-to-use maps
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGis online is easy to use, with no need to install any software, it is also free and of great service, especially for students who are beginning to learn about the geographic world. It has an excellent geocoder for quick addresses. The courses in ArcGis online are productive, interesting, and always up to date with technology. It has tools for developers with which elements can be added to applications. Arcgis online is easy to use, productive, dynamic, with a pleasant interface and stays updated according to the needs of the clients. It allows the construction of applications and the use of them remotely.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest disadvantage is the limitation of space analysis and that data loading is often a bit slow. On the other hand, it is essential to have a fast and reliable Internet connection, because without a connection we cannot access and, therefore, do not have access to our data and maps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick and simple maps for carrying out any cartographic emergency required in the office.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The ease of use of Arcgis online qualifies it as a powerful tool for geographic analysis of any magnitude, and the possibility of using it anywhere because the information is stored in the cloud. The applications carried out through Arcgis online allow the creation of innovative analysis tools and for them to be shared with other users of the system to verify their usefulness or to obtain feedback on their use.
