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
It's the best GIS software
What do you like best about the product?
It has everything you need, and you don't need. I think it is a GIS sea
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not easy to use and sometimes it feels so complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating maps, it's more professional than other software, especially the free ones
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You need to do a massive number of training to help your staff masters it
Excellent GIS Platform
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
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.
Makes detailed maps
