Good mapping tool

  • December 12, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is the premier mapping software to use for professional mapping. The package comes with ArcCatalog, which is great for organizing files. There are many ways to use the software, if you can learn how the functions work together. Everything is referenced on a coordinate system, which means everything you do is fundamentally related to the real world. The raster uses and analyses are high-level as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The program can be error-prone, takes a lot of space, and randomly crash. It can be difficult to change coordinate systems if the data you're starting with has a non-specific coordinate system. There are a lot of uses, which is a double-edges sword: it is easy to learn enough to use in everyday basic applications, but it takes a lot of time and effort to really become an expert in using ArcGIS. While the analysis functions can be excellent, they can also be a let-down as they don't account for statistical anomalies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This helps us map site plans, sampling locations, geology and hydrogeology, and engineered solutions for our clients. The majority of our use is basic two-dimensional problems. The use of layers and geo-databases is extremely important. We could get more use, but without having an expert the use is somewhat limited.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of free mapping apps available, and they are good for small-time personal use and professionals who need limited use. However, for anyone who needs to map items regularly, I recommend ArcGIS.

What do you like best about the product?
I love everything about ArcGIS, as I use it coupled with Omega Crimeview to create weekly reports and to extract all sorts of criminal and traffic-related data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product is a bit on the expensive side, but it is the best product available of its kind in my professional opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My agency uses the software in the Crime Analysis Unit and in the Community Relations Unit to create maps, to include: crime maps, traffic incident maps, maps of popular locations, parks, and community centers, as well as route planning maps to assist presidential and other political visiting parties.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a powerful mapping application with some of the best features around (which are mostly all-inclusive after you buy the product), then ArcGIS is the best there is. Our main city planning offices also use ArcGIS for their needs.

However, inconvenient support of gpx and kml and time series animations are arcane.

Natural resource management analysis at various special scales.
