Esri is useful

  • October 29, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the wide net of research you can conduct using mapping and GIS software
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be extremely confusing to a new user. It took me awhile to navigate through what I wanted to do in terms of specific data for the city I'm working for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me search up a specific area's demographics and data so I can present it to potential buyers of buildings and land properties within the city. I can easily show a buyer stats that will help tell them what kind of area they are locating to.

A leading tool for managing, analizing, creating and integrating geological/spatial data

  • October 26, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Built using standards such as COM, XML, and SQL, ArcGIS can be easily integrated with the structure of the information system and data of any organization or individual. Given that GIS extends to new applications and new user communities, ArcGIS solves the challenges of offering and receiving data and related GIS services to users all around the world. The versatility of the program allows being used in a variety of areas: from land cadastre, geodesy, cartography, and telecommunications, to geology, ecology, management of water resources and subsoil, oil and gas industry, and even remote sensing. In the geodatabase, we can define rules and relationships within the repository that define the behavior of spatially interconnected geographic (or geological) objects and object classes and ensure the data integrity.
What do you dislike about the product?
ArcGIS requires dedication, endless hours of study in order to master all the available features, the learning process is hard, nevertheless, once you get to dominate all its functionalities according to your need, the potential of ArcGIS is almost limitless.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an independent professional dedicated to remote sensing, ArcGIS allows me no just to work with multispectral and hyperspectral images, but also using phyton, it saves me considerable amount of time automatizing routine operations related to atmospherical corrections and map algebra. Also, to perform geostatistical analysis, became a ten minutes activity for me using ArcGIS, and it is very usefull for sharing work load, the possibiliy to connect data from ArcGIS Online and crete connections to various map servers.

arcGIS

  • October 25, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Internet mapping is a very cool feature, with which we can access the maps from anywhere in the world. ArcGIS is way ahead in functionality as compared to it's comepetitors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Firstly, arcGIS license is very very expensive. Secondly, the ease of use is also an issue, like for example, with the OGC services connection, it is required to download and install the Data Interoperability extension, whereas while using other softwares, you can do that with one click.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping. Adding information to maps. Now I have used this software in a project, where I had to show flooding in a region during extreme raiinfall in Mumbai, India. I used layers with color coding to depict the extent of flooding in different regions, and this could be used for drainage system planning by the government.
Color coding was the feature, that was very helpful. It makes representing information very easy and intuitive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Spend hours to understand the different functionalities of the software, inorder to get the full use of this amazing piece of technology. Because, if you do not study the software properly, you will surely miss out on a number of cool features.

ArcGIS - ArcMAP: A useful tool for environmental consultants and engineering firms alike

  • October 23, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I Like ArcMAP mainly for the flexibility and ease of use in creating professional quality spatial maps for clients and potential projects. It's interface is easy to understand and use with just a few hours of training and guidance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a dislike, but you should really use a desktop computer with some processing power to be able to use multiple tools on multiple maps - all at the same time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using ArcGIS to create maps, analyze data, perform calculations, and provide clients with spatial data collected in the field.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to get into some of ESRI's learning modules if you're unsure of what you're doing. Their website is very informative and has free learning options for different tools in ArcGIS.

World-class GIS Platform: ArcGIS

  • September 02, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS platform and suite of software products provide the best there is for doing deep GIS. The latest release of ArcGIS Pro contains the FME 2018 engine which allows embedded full motion video within any spatial GIS model you have built.
What do you dislike about the product?
Esri should invest in creating a native MacOS version, even though they have iOS versions. I know this means a complete makeover of the core architecture, but the acceleration it could provide running on the OSX unix platform would make for the best of the elegance of user interface, the security of a Unix runtime architecture, and the speed of code execution that Apple Computer is extremely jealous about maintaining.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We built a complete 3D GIS of the interior of the San Diego Convention Center (3 floors) and the adjacent hotels (Marriott & Hilton) with conditional routing from any room to any room. We are in the process of creating an iOS version as a template that any convention vendor can populate with their own meeting data for each room. This includes alternate ADA routing across all 3 floors (no use of escalators, etc.). Note: The latest SLICE exploratory analysis tool in ArcGIS Pro allows you to "slice" down through multiple embedded layers of data. This ability to slice up 3D models like a loaf of bread is absolutely mind blowing in potential uses!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While the competition has grown, Esri's ArcGIS platform is still head and shoulders above the rest. Much of the field itself has been defined by the evolution of ArcGIS, from terminology, tools, look and feel, to the massive stored data made available to customers and online subscribers. If there is a problem GIS can solve, it is likely that ArcGIS platform will be the first with a tool to perform that solution. Use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcGlobe, or ArcScene, to create maps, and perform almost any type of spatial analysis.

What do you like best about the product?
robust tool, fantastic tool for creating comprehensive maps with insightful data and pictographic reports

helping companies find the ideal location(s) for their business; being able to assess competition, traffic, demographics and psychographics, trends, etc - all at your fingertips is a game-changer!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
go thru the tutorials to avoid frustration; once you get the hang of it, it's a real game changer, worth the time getting to know how to use it!
