Arc GIS Review
What do you like best about the product?
What’s best about Arc GIS is that you can use the software for spatial analyses and communicating your results to show a big picture.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it’s not that easy to use. It may take a while to get the hang of it. I would recommend getting some type of user guide to help someone who’s not familiar at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used this software to show spatial results of our West Nil virus mosquito trapping. The software allowed us to pinpoint our traps and create hot zones based on the number of complaints we had from residents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider this product!
Still the best mapping software
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is a great mapping software for anyone who needs to consistently make maps or do spatial analysis. It has been the industry standard for a reason all this time. There are so many possibilities, and it's pretty common to find out something new you can do with the program that you didn't know about before.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's expensive (prohibitively so for most individuals). Given that open source GIS programs are quickly gaining ground on ArcGIS, it's unfortunate that the program is not being made more innovative. It also can be buggy and crash sometimes. And the weird particularities that Arc has when it comes to working with data can be annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arc helps me make professional quality maps and analyze spatial data in my research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Utilize the ArcGIS online help tools. They are a life saver!
ArcGIS good program for making maps
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is good for datamanagement and mapping it. The program excells in analyses on different datasets.
What do you dislike about the product?
The program is not really stable and crashed a lot under big workloads. Saving your progress is very important
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a good skill in GIS is very important. If you are good and can work efficient with it, people will ask you for help.
ARC GIS
What do you like best about the product?
ARCGIS is the leading GIS software on the market, we use it daily in the planning and development office.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is a bit much, but considering all the benefits, it's still well worth it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have had great experience with ArcGIS, and they also have great technical support!
ArcGIS is a different way of seeing the world using data
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is an incredibly complete tool for geostatistical analysis, for the digitization and study of projects and for the planning of geographical strategies, for the design of marketing strategies. It is such a useful tool in so many areas that it is difficult for me to imagine any in which I would not have any possible application. I like its multiplatform adaptation and the different modalities and its advanced raster data processing functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I understand that it is quite advanced and complex software, however I feel that it could work to be lighter in processing. Licenses are quite expensive, which makes considering largely free alternatives for data processing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used ArcGIS in the design of water supply systems and data mapping in different areas. Such as pharmacy, oil and distribution of raw materials. With this software I was able to handle geoanalysis and the presentation of the final products in an impeccable way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a hugely broad tool! Try to document yourself and practice enough to avoid getting lost in the large number of functions and processing tools that the program has. Luckily on the internet there are very good tutorials to learn how to handle it.
The spatial modeling and mapping tool we love
What do you like best about the product?
The natural power of spatially relating meaningful data really can't be understated. This is something that I believe all GIS professionals understand and love. In practice, location based data is on its own informative and provides relational possibilities, context and insight to data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to add more data / have greater context. Perhaps in the future there will be high definition base maps or data authorities that will manage / model to a level of detail that is consistent with reality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Wet utilities - currently water and wastewater networking.
Knowledge of asset positioning and relation to other improvement features is critical in terms of time savings and meta information review.
Knowledge of asset positioning and relation to other improvement features is critical in terms of time savings and meta information review.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ArcMap and Pro needs improvements to graphical and ease of drawing features. Yes, they are data tools - however much of the discussion of CAD vs ArcMap in the past defaults to CAD for design. The middle ground approach of accessibility and user success is good, however technical drawing tools could be better streamlined / available. For example, bearing calculations and offsets are do-able via COGO toolbar,
Not easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS does include many comprehensive features that you may need - basemaps, plotting ability, analysis capability, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user face is extremely dated. Additionally, the features are not intuitive or easy to pick up. I would say that this software is not accessible by a new learner.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ArcGIS to monitor geospatial clustering of disease.
Senior Civil Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing is handling thousands of data points accurately. I like the many different ways we can present data, and the graphics can be stunning.
What do you dislike about the product?
It appears that we are being force (eventually) into ArcGIS Pro. We are satisfied with the programs we have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We utilize ArcGIS for asset cataloging and keeping up with the current conditions of our assets. We are moving toward BIM and like the way ArcGIS prepares us for that.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Esri products are robust and easy to use with a little training.
Dynamic program
What do you like best about the product?
Esri ArcGIS is a dynamic program that can be configured to fulfillthe business needs from a full range of disciplines. Using it in a government setting and within utilities has given me an in-depth look at how different businesses utilize the same tools for a variety of reasons.
What do you dislike about the product?
Clunky in certain aspects. Some of the tools are not as easy to use to those that aren’t as well versed in GIS. government entities are slow to adapt so new tools aren’t backwards compatible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allowing us to update sde layers to make us compliant.
Easy to Use Analysis Tools
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use analysis tools that allow you to create great maps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hard to use web services, so I use Pro more now
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Inventory and monitoring maps
