GIS helps me with my research
What do you like best about the product?
I like the functionality of ArcGIS; with every new project, I seemingly find a new application the software helps with. It's wickedly useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how slow it can be, and how glitchy it can be sometimes. I also feel like some features are overly complicated, and have large learning curves.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used ArcGIS in my research to produce publication quality maps and to help organize my research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great software, just be careful about the learning curve.
A one-stop shop for your geospatial needs, but with limitations
What do you like best about the product?
ESRI software can meet most of your organization's geospatial needs with little to no coding background required. If you need to quickly stand up apps, web maps, and hard copy map production, then ESRI software will likely be a good option.
What do you dislike about the product?
ESRI software carries a hefty price tag, and switching to other software vendors down the road will be very time consuming. The web application deployment environment leaves much to be desired (latitude geographics Geocortex product does this far better). The software is rather buggy, and can be maddening to work with at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ESRI provides us a way to visualize and analyze data for our internal customers in ways that aren't possible without a geospatial perspective. Specific to ESRI, we are able to quickly build web applications and hard-copy maps for our customers with little custom programming required.
Very useful tool. Has enhanced my tasks in survey.
What do you like best about the product?
The query system is an excellent tool. Especially when performing sizable topographical projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slight learning curve makes it a little rough if you haven't had any courses in the program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cataloging topographical features
Esri ArcMap - Great for School Systems
What do you like best about the product?
The software allows us to properly map and define our zone boundaries for our School Attendance Zones. We are able to quickly identify if a student lives in zone or out of zone since we have all of the County Tax Maps imported to our system.
What do you dislike about the product?
The companion software that our Student Services department uses for map lookup can be a bit clunky at times and requires a lot of resources for the size of our district map. This can be problematic when we need to quickly identify things at the start of the school year.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to identify any zone changes that need to be made to address school sizing issues with its Geolocating features from importing our student addresses to the system. We are also able to predict what the next few school year enrollments will be due to the ability to generate reports based on imported data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great product.

Transforming the data with basics tools like Clip, Buffer, Merge etc. is awesome.
Maps for Days
What do you like best about the product?
Customizable map creation. GIS can do so much... I love how easy it is to creat professional maps and figures.
What do you dislike about the product?
Buttons aren't necessarily in a logical place. It takes time to really learn the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making maps and figures for client deliverables.
Esri is useful
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
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
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.
