ArcGIS as a GIS Professional
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS has a full stack of GIS tools, ranging from mobile, to desktop, to server, to cloud and to web. They have numerous offerings from more generic products through to highly specific industry based and focused tools. This allows them to operate over a wide range of industrys and really push thier products
What do you dislike about the product?
Esri/ArcGIS has a much slower development cycle than many of their (open source) competitors. You'' find that other companies will release new tools/functionality and a while later (often a year or two) Esri/ArcGIS will release the same functionality touting it as the latest and greatest. Because of thier market share, people often aren't aware that the smaller companies havebeen doing it for quite a while.
ArcGIS Pro seems to be a backwards step in terms of functionality, however it is great to finally see 64bit and multithreaded support

A full stack, enterprise level GIS system that allows us to manage and distribute data, services and tools across a wide platform and 100s of users.

Once you get a hang of basic commands, spatializing your data is a powerful tool for communication. Network analyst is crucial for my work, and has flexible applications.

Used ArcGIS for research in transport planning and studio projects. Used for site analysis and context analysis, as well as user routing and service area.
