Meets all the visualization needs of clients
What do you like best about the product?
I believe the standard visualization capability is it's best forte.
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be a whole lot faster in rendering.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, working with demographics and crash statistics.
World-class GIS Platform: ArcGIS
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS platform and suite of software products provide the best there is for doing deep GIS. The latest release of ArcGIS Pro contains the FME 2018 engine which allows embedded full motion video within any spatial GIS model you have built.
What do you dislike about the product?
Esri should invest in creating a native MacOS version, even though they have iOS versions. I know this means a complete makeover of the core architecture, but the acceleration it could provide running on the OSX unix platform would make for the best of the elegance of user interface, the security of a Unix runtime architecture, and the speed of code execution that Apple Computer is extremely jealous about maintaining.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We built a complete 3D GIS of the interior of the San Diego Convention Center (3 floors) and the adjacent hotels (Marriott & Hilton) with conditional routing from any room to any room. We are in the process of creating an iOS version as a template that any convention vendor can populate with their own meeting data for each room. This includes alternate ADA routing across all 3 floors (no use of escalators, etc.). Note: The latest SLICE exploratory analysis tool in ArcGIS Pro allows you to "slice" down through multiple embedded layers of data. This ability to slice up 3D models like a loaf of bread is absolutely mind blowing in potential uses!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While the competition has grown, Esri's ArcGIS platform is still head and shoulders above the rest. Much of the field itself has been defined by the evolution of ArcGIS, from terminology, tools, look and feel, to the massive stored data made available to customers and online subscribers. If there is a problem GIS can solve, it is likely that ArcGIS platform will be the first with a tool to perform that solution. Use ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcGlobe, or ArcScene, to create maps, and perform almost any type of spatial analysis.
Analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the user friendliness of the product and the customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it takes a long time to load on most types of computers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for location identity and for conversion into dxf files for TNM
Excellent Geo mapping tool
What do you like best about the product?
robust tool, fantastic tool for creating comprehensive maps with insightful data and pictographic reports
What do you dislike about the product?
license can be expensive and perhaps b/c it is such a complete system, it can sometimes be confusing to navigate
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
helping companies find the ideal location(s) for their business; being able to assess competition, traffic, demographics and psychographics, trends, etc - all at your fingertips is a game-changer!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
go thru the tutorials to avoid frustration; once you get the hang of it, it's a real game changer, worth the time getting to know how to use it!
ArcGIS tool for making maps
What do you like best about the product?
That allows to make georeferenced maps and terrain models of a geographical space
What do you dislike about the product?
The edition of the maps sometimes the scales are distorted depending on the amount of information represented in projection
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me to spatialize the information of the geographical variables in the work done in the school of geography of the university where I am a professor in Venezuela
Recommendations to others considering the product:
That they acquire the tool since it allows to analyze edit georeferencing geographic information of a given space
Product Review: Esri ArcGIS 10.6
What do you like best about the product?
The catalog. It allows the program to connect to relevant files on the desktop rather than providing constant access to each and every file in your storage. I assume this impacts the memory usage of the program, making it more efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are many batch processing features which should be available as default options in the program which are not available at the moment. This could be something as simple as applying the same background color across several layers. These features require coding and are not accessible to non-coders.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data visualization. Providing a spatial element to any data analysis is crucial and visually effective to the viewer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Customer service over the phone is absolutely phenomenal.
There is no alternative
What do you like best about the product?
ESRI is the program for geospatial analysis. But its main benefit is scalability. Its intuitive for new users to be operational, but can also handle complex analysis
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike about ESRI. Only fault is AGOL is too streamlined and doesn't offer much value in terms of analysis and mapping.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use to generate hotspots, kernel density mapping, as well as general cartography to show the layout of the county and where things are spatially.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Theres nothing else like it. No other product that does what ESRI does at that scale. Sure you could piecemeal your GIS using a variety of programs. But if you want the real solution, get ESRI
Industry standard....if you can afford it
What do you like best about the product?
Because of ArcGIS's popularity, there are a lot of forums, blog posts, and YouTube tutorials out there if you are struggling with something. This makes the program easier to use in a sense.
What do you dislike about the product?
The high cost of ArcGIS means that I am limited to using it on my University's computers, which is not ideal. I prefer to work in my own office or from home, so I am more likely to invest in learning the QGIS interface since I can access it on my own computer for free.
I find problem-solving using this program to be incredibly difficult. I typically have to rely on outside advice, as the online ESRI tutorials are often too complex or assume the user has a higher level of knowledge.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is the industry standard for spatial analysis and graphics. I am expected to use it for my research and it allows for complex analyses that can be run with a reasonable amount of practice.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
More open source options for students.
Great introduction to GIS
What do you like best about the product?
I liked that on ArcGIS desktop the ease to begin learning how to use Esri products. I used Arcmap to map bighorn sheep movements and I thought it was great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I didn't like how slow Arc Desktop sometimes could be when working with large amounts of data. It may be my computer but it still takes a while longer than Arcpro.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use ArcGIS to map bighorn sheep movements in Lander Wyoming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with Desktop then change to Arc Pro, it will help train you.
Industry standard mapping software
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is a necessary software tool if you need to work with spatial data for analysis or presentation
What do you dislike about the product?
It is hard to learn, not user friendly, and the GUI leads to slow work processes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I make maps and analyze spatial data to provide efficient service to people
