My experience with ArcGIS, the most complete software in the field of GIS
What do you like best about the product?
There are no elements linked to the technological developments required by the GIS that are not present in ARCGIS. Within which we can mention. connection to databases, loading, administration, processing and analysis of data located online, interconnection with several users, loading of point clouds, elevation of structures, manipulation of raster data, loading of data platforms of other web software, topography of geoforms.
Export and import of vectors from CAD, coverage from and to other programs, any type of bitmap format, aerial photographs or satellite images, all can be displayed, manipulated and converted into information frames through ArcGIS.
ArcGIS enters the GIS world with the GeoDataBase format, a repository that suppresses the loss of information due to the loss or corruption of some component of the old base files, called the forms file.
It offers the possibility of analyzing the temporal evolution of the occupation of the urban territory, the analysis of rain flows, defining areas of slope or demarcation of basins through the processing of contour lines.
Generation of level curves by masses of points captured by the flight of a drone, within all the written I have not mentioned more than 20% of the options offered by the software.

What do you dislike about the product?
The main problem that the user must deal with is presented in the acquisition of the license, defining if all the analytical tools are wanted or only some of them and in what range they are, since the costs vary according to the client's intention and the robustness of the system to be implemented. It is worth the cost, but if you do not have a good resource to invest, it is best to research the best option, in the same way, ESRI advisors will know how to tell you which best suits your need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With ArcGIS I have solved several problems; first, errors in the topology that other programs do not correct and that generate a considerable error when performing surface calculations.
Another important point is the editing and configuration functions of a final map for printing, with ArcGIS saving two days of work, which invested in other software to achieve the desired quality and representation levels.
And finally, the management and standardization of processes through the model constructor, where I develop the links of the variables together with the processes, simulations and analysis methods that I wish to apply, having defined the models, I can apply it in similar studies in other areas. Space zones and the results will be obtained in a couple of minutes.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have enough economic resources, you have defined the use that this powerful tool will give you, dare to acquire it, you also have the facility to test the program for a finite time, just in case you have doubts. The program is very friendly, aimed at people with little experience in the field. It is easy to use, but it is not necessary to neglect the rules and theories on which it rests

It is the go-to product for GIS professionals.
Overall good experience using GIS. Great program with many applications.
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of applications and uses. Arc GIS is a powerful yet simple tool to use. Fairly easy to get up and running. Easy to import other file types.
What do you dislike about the product?
Arc GIS has a lot of functions and steps that can be difficult to remember. When formatting the final map it can be difficult to move titles and place map in the location of choosing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving mapping and locating structures to gain insight on the areas. Creating maps of area of concerns for flood issues. Creating a map to show connections and number of users of a local bus routes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great program to use. It's very simple and has many applications.
ArcGIS is a great way to manipulate geographical information
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to map and show data and geospatial trends within the data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The segmented nature of this program seem to limit what you can do unless you spend a lot of money
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Geospatial information analysis and mapping of large areas.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ArcGIS is heading in the right direction but be prepared to spend a good amount of time learning the software and completing the tutorials.
Endless possibilities
What do you like best about the product?
There are endless possible ways to use this product to your advantage. If you fully put time and effort in, you will be able to solve several problems and organize data in a way that suits your needs. It also does a decent job of running formulas in-house without the need to export/re-import.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that there are multiple ways of doing one thing. This is not necessarily a drawback, but it is something to keep in mind when communicating a step-by-step process to other users. Two different GIS users may use different methods to arrive at the same outcome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data organization and data sharing needs, as it relates to spacial analysis.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Worth it. There are endless possible ways to use the product to your advantage. If you have an employee willing to learn it and apply it. Get it.
Great tool for spatial analysis and many other purposes
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.
ArcGIS
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS has numerous features, which allows the user to create any type of map. Maps can vary from very simplistic to very complicated. There are a lot of customization options which allows the user to be creative in terms of visuals.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface isn't very user-friendly and requires a lot of time researching and playing around with the different features to learn to create a map. In addition, there are so many tools and features, it makes it difficult to navigate the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding environmental phenomena and relationships as it relates to space.
An Offline Software that connects seamlessly online
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
Amazing product
What do you like best about the product?
From students to professionals it is a very versatile software with all of it's different applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price of a single license for this software is through the roof, but that's because it's the best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for map making and data integration. It allows you to integrate many different data sets into one.
NOt good for replication
What do you like best about the product?
Maps created are good looking, and easy to create once .shp files are loaded
What do you dislike about the product?
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
