Great tool for spatial analysis and many other purposes

  • January 30, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use ArcGIS for working with maps and geographic data. I cannot say it's very easy to use, but when you get hang of it, it is very useful and make a big difference in research. The possibility of superimposing data, using different data sources, its capability to be used in different filed, even in social sciences, is great. I usually use it to map archaeological and cultural data, and to run several analysis. It is fast and the best thing about it is that the products of research is visual and understandable to different groups of people.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the undo option when I am working with it. Sometime when you use undo you'd lose data. Also sometime for some reason that I haven't figured out yet, I lose some of my processes and have to do them again.
Also, it is very expensive! Since I am working for a university we can use it there, but if I am not affiliated with somewhere that doesn't have the program, it is too expensive to purchase it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Assessing cultural heritage, archaeological sites, impact of natural and environmental factors on different areas, mapping archaeological and cultural resources. The benefit is that we can easily share the results with other experts and also we can use other researches in our own research. It is a harmonious way to share knowledge.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great program for different types of data mapping, analysis and spatial analysis. We all need to give it a try in this advancing world of research.

La licencia de este programa es un poco costosa, es su mayor desventaja, pero en realidad en cuanto a su funcionamiento vale lo que cuesta.

An Offline Software that connects seamlessly online

  • January 28, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Arcgis is probabaly best used for its mapping utilities. Specifically, what I enjoyed the best was that heatmaps with specific filters can be made within the software and then (after signing up of course) it can be transferred a work in progress with colleagues around the world. Additionally, these features do not necessarily need the offline software to work. If you are strapped for time and need to maleness a quick presentation the go like I did, ESRI allows for an online Arcgis tool. It started off as barebones but now it is fully robust and approaching maturation.
What do you dislike about the product?
My major gripe about ArcGIS would be the dependency when a file needs to be saved. To elaborate, when saving a project that’s is a work in progress m, arcmap saves your progress into different directory trees. These trees need to be saved on a flash drive in the exact same order if you want them to work flawlessly on another computer. This makes saving work so that you can work from the office or home a bad experience. There is a solution, which is to upload it to their cloud but for hose of us who don’t want to remembers another password we are stuck with meticulous saving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ArcGIS for my company is used mostly for fluid mapping. Specifically, we map particulate matter 2.5 to ensure that concentrations in the industrial sector do not reach a public hazard level. If it’s does, we deploy a patented filter to industries to help them mitigate their problems.

Some benefits are that the map making process for these purposes are extremely simple even to a beginner. Mostly because the map is only as good and it’s data and arcgis handles raw excel data very well when needing to interpret it into a visual aid.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In order to ensure the best migration to GIS, it is best that you have lots and lots of data. While this software comes packed with globally shared sensor data and overlays, it sometimes isn’t the best if you don’t have all the data causing the software to under-perform to your needs

NOt good for replication

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Maps created are good looking, and easy to create once .shp files are loaded

The process cannot be automatized easily. In theory, it could’ve written in python, but there is no user friendly way of saving your steps to do a map over again
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Map making using georeferenced data
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don’t use if you will need to replicate often

La mejor opción para utilizar un SIG

  • January 24, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Nos encontramos ante el Sistema de Información Geográfica más completo del mercado, solo al desplegar el menú de herramientas nos damos cuenta que contamos con más de 40 opciones para procesar datos geográficos de cualquier tipo (raster, shapefile, cad, entre otros), ademas de todas las herramientas para transformación de datos, ajuste espacial, estadísticas de imágenes raster, modelación de altitud a través de modelos digitales de elevación, todo esto complementado con muchísimas extensiones que permiten enfocarse en temas particulares, como el procesamiento de información estadística con fines espaciales, el geosideño o la modelación tridimensional. Sencillamente ArcGIS es el mejor SIG.
What do you dislike about the product?
ArcGIS es un software extremadamente costoso, lo que limita las posibilidades de muchas personas de utilizarlo como herramienta de trabajo común, esta limitación del costo incide directamente sobre donde se pone en practica el software dado que son grandes empresas o instituciones publicas las que tienen capacidad de pagarlo, una pequeña o mediana empresa, o un grupo de emprendedores no podrían adquirir el software, limitando así la capacidad de utilizar esta increíble herramienta.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ArcGIS a contribuido a mejorar los niveles de atención de nuestra empresa, dado que conocemos la procedencia de la personas ello nos ha permitido ampliar nuestro mercado hacia lugares donde proviene la mayor cantidad de compradores y hacer más placentera y cercana la oportunidad de conseguir el libro de su preferencia. Todo esto se ha realizado cruzando datos espaciales con registros administrativos que en conjunto contribuyen a entender mejor la relación entre empresa y consumidor.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ArcGIS es una herramienta que todas las personas que realizan análisis geográficos deberían poder utilizar, la cantidad de herramientas que posee hace que se ajuste prácticamente a cualquier necesidad, sea esta ambiental, urbana, rural, administrativa, empresarial u otra, ArcGIS cuenta con una herramienta que va ayudarte a entender la dinámica espacial, y como mejorar la condición de tu empresa, aumentando los beneficios y utilizando mejor los recursos.

Excellent GIS Platform

  • January 24, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is extremely powerful and flexible, with the ability to import data from a huge variety of sources. If there's a tool or feature that's not already built in to the application, you can build your own with Python.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't intuitive at all. You will definitely need to buy a few books and do some training, however there ARE a number of free training and webinars available on the ESRI site.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using ArcGIS for facilities management and documentation. ArcGIS also makes data visualization a breeze for doing territory analysis.

Diverse tool for mapping

  • January 23, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ArcMap has so many different ways to create maps and visualize data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometime my program runs slowly. My ArcMap freezes when I put "too much"data in and it slows the whole system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are fixing the City of Tulsa address locators. Using ArcGIS gives us a streamlined tool to create, and then post to our webmaps.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get training first. It's not a simple program.
