ArcGIS Non-Profit Review
What do you like best about the product?
Great non-profit discounts to allow use for organization's with limited technology funding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Graphics and visually a bit outdated. Would like to see additional resources and updates around more graphics to allowing for more external/digitally pleasing visuals.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Site eligibility. Census data was pulled into ArcGIS, combined with census tract overlap, and used to determine if partner sites were eligible were programming under certain funder. Sites needed meet certain thresholds of need when it came to poverty level.
ArcGIS as used in an introductory course
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how many different tools and applications ArcMap has to manipulate data and create your own maps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some bugs are not evident or easily fixed, which has set me back in certain projects.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am researching the relationship between landfill locations and disease prevalence among local populations. I have been able to easily add data from external sources and use it to draw connections between the two concepts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Acquire a user guide, particularly a college-level introductory textbook, and complete the tutorials to help familiarize yourself with ArcGIS! You will likely encounter some setbacks or bugs, but many of them are solvable with ESRI Online Support.
Flexible tool for mapping
What do you like best about the product?
It has different modules available so you can find the one you need easily. In addition, it has many help files that proved to be helpful and user-friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is a bit steep (but it is not necessarily a reflection of the software deficiency itself). The files are pretty large, and it requires a high function computer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ArcGIS to produce maps, often involves several layers of data. It is relatively easy to use once you learned how to navigate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are not doing complicated geographic data manipulation/analysis, this ARCGIS is perfect for you. It is sufficient for creating basic to somewhat complicated maps.
The best and most complete geographic information system you can find
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of modules and spatial analysis tools that this software has make it the best and most complete system to work with, as long as you have a good computer. This software is one of the most robust in the market; Your space analysis tools are well developed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it is a very robust software it is necessary to have a computer with good memory capacity to be able to have a better and faster results in the processing of geographic information. The image processing module does not seem so complete, I think it is necessary to develop it more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is the most advanced geographic information system software on the market, it is very complete and has helped me a lot with spatial analysis tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Before acquiring this software it is necessary that they have good computers, because if they are going to work with satellite images the program will be very slow to process.
Excellent GIS Software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the feature that allows you to download datasets and manipulate them in various ways. You can make your geospatial data as complex or as simple as you would like.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked the user interface which seemed very early 2000's-eque. It may be very difficult to navigate and watching tutorial videos will most likely be required. The learning curve may be inconvenient, however, it is to be expected with software that offers such a wide range of advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This program allows geospatial data to be overlayed on maps. This is extremely practical for any business that can benefit from data insights.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend that you allow yourself a good amount of time to get past the learning curve with this product. Once you get the hang of it, however, there are many advanced features available on ArcGIS that are not available with other similar types of software.
Not for beginners
What do you like best about the product?
The capabilities include a vast range of everything one may think of in urban studies and planning. From real time information to data collection and management, the advanced mechanisms are truly impressive and informative.
What do you dislike about the product?
At the same time, there are too many features for a beginning user to navigate. For example, if one simply needs an aerial image, for example, they could instead utilize simpler and free software such as Google Earth.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Presenting environmental details visually, and categorizing by topographical characteristics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Training for users must be done
Helpful but glitchy.
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy for me to source data from other ArcGIS users and to quickly assemble a visually appealing map from known data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The online software is very glitchy and the general use of the software is not intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using ArcGIS in our strategic planning process. We're able to see our current reach, valued prospects and make decisions based on accurate information.
Useful visual tool
What do you like best about the product?
You can make great maps using public data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Loads slowly, crashes sometimes. That might be partially because I have an old computer. There's also quite a learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visually showing clients sampling locations on maps
The science of where
What do you like best about the product?
Helps to understand geograpgically data analysis
What do you dislike about the product?
Lots of database management. Software can process slow
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Addressing, zoning

What do you like best about the product?
Functional diversity. Arc Gis allows for many different solutions to a problem. The scope of the program can help geologically challenging feats that might require many man hours
What do you dislike about the product?
Complexity of the program takes a long time to master
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data management. Environmental problems. Optimizing placement of businesses.
