Great in the classroom!
What do you like best about the product?
I went to a training for Esri and I am so glad I did! It is definitely something I would not have learned on my own. My favorite aspect is the already made lessons for students - I have already used a few with my middle schoolers! The lesson planning is already done for you and the students really enjoy manipulating the maps. I am hoping to get confident enough with it that my students create their very own study at the end of the school year.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is definitely a learning curve - it is a bit intimidating at first, but is such a wonderful FREE source once you get the hang of it!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My students are experiencing geography, rather than just reading about it!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with the Geo Inquiries! They are already set up for you and will help get used to navigating the system.
Great for spatial data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of different tools available for different kinds of data and projects. For example raster and vector data, spatial statistics, digitization, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Processing times can be long when working with large datasets and does not give you progress on tools being executed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I create flood maps through manipulation of DEMs. I then assign flood depths to the road network by merging vector and taster data
All around great
What do you like best about the product?
Can create great visuals of huge datasets, and always turns out beautiful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes ArcGIS doesn’t like to save a working project.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Forestry and environmental science data visualization
Best software for GIS Users
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using ESRI products for more than 20 years. The software is very robust and every year continues to improve.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be quite expensive, but for most of us GIS professionals, the price is worth it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to provide quality GIS products with ease, including an easy to use website. We also can also perform spatial analysis, asset management, and create beautiful maps. The training that ESRI provides is also very useful, and a lot of it is free.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider whether you need the full suite of applications, or if you can use the ArcGIS online resources instead.
Excellent, almost flawless
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is very good. The tools available can suffice most is the users' needs
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few minor bugs here and there, for such the software crashes sometimes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm working on flash flood modelling, and i use Arcgis for most of the presimulation tasks
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It would be totally worth the price. Three overall experience is very good, and ESRI makes sure this software meets your user needs
Working with ESRI ArcGIS
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is so useful for all elements of spatial analysis and spatial data visualisation, enabling the production of professional-quality map outputs
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some quirks in the software code which can cause problems with the user, such as limiting length of file names in certail toolboxes, problems with filepath names etc. Software is also expensive and there are cheaper alternatives which do a similar job as effectively.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enables rapid analysis of spatial variations in land cover via raster calculation image differencing and mapping of ecosystem services
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to also consider cheaper or free alternatives to ArcGIS such as QGIS; this has many of the same features and more, and also allows for use of bespoke plugins created by third parties
Creating Maps with ArcGIS
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is a fantastic resource for creating maps and I use it very often to produce high level pdf maps as well as Google Earth maps for my company. It has a low floor and a high ceiling which makes it easy to understand for clients but able to produce a level product.
What do you dislike about the product?
ArcGIS can be a little complicated at times. However, they provide vast amounts of resources for understanding Arc tools. It can also run a little slowly, I have an i7 processor and it can still takes a while to start up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving around large amounts of data through shapefiles, which ArcGIS is able to handle and compile properly. We are able to pinpoint where work is using its accurate base layers and spatial references.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be ready to learn a lot!
Arc GIS Review
What do you like best about the product?
What’s best about Arc GIS is that you can use the software for spatial analyses and communicating your results to show a big picture.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it’s not that easy to use. It may take a while to get the hang of it. I would recommend getting some type of user guide to help someone who’s not familiar at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used this software to show spatial results of our West Nil virus mosquito trapping. The software allowed us to pinpoint our traps and create hot zones based on the number of complaints we had from residents.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider this product!
Still the best mapping software
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is a great mapping software for anyone who needs to consistently make maps or do spatial analysis. It has been the industry standard for a reason all this time. There are so many possibilities, and it's pretty common to find out something new you can do with the program that you didn't know about before.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's expensive (prohibitively so for most individuals). Given that open source GIS programs are quickly gaining ground on ArcGIS, it's unfortunate that the program is not being made more innovative. It also can be buggy and crash sometimes. And the weird particularities that Arc has when it comes to working with data can be annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arc helps me make professional quality maps and analyze spatial data in my research.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Utilize the ArcGIS online help tools. They are a life saver!
