Great for mapping
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use and allows you to be creative and make either functional or pretty maps
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be a little glitch. Every once in a while it'll just close for no reason.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We create maps of the entire County showing each parcel. It is easy to use and very productive.

Archie’s review
What do you like best about the product?
Works well with our mapping needs, easy for our mapper to setup
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow at times, had issues with creating mobile maps for use in field
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping in the field
ArcGIS is great
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is a great software for sorting through and displaying large amounts of geographic data. The online interactive platform ArcGIS Online is incredibly useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Esri's ArcGIS is still developing in some newer areas in GIS, so I regularly run into questions about software functionality--"Can I do this feature in this way?" and sometimes the answer is not yet, which is fine but requires finding a workaround. For example "clumping" coincidental points is new in ArcGIS Online, and "scattering" is still in the works, both of which are/would be useful for the display for my work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work for a local government and we use ArcGIS to track geographic data about the city, use it for city planning, and be transparent in sharing this data with the public. ArcGIS has been great for sharing this data internally and externally in map format, and is very accessible (especially ArcGIS Online, the online interactive platform).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For me, using ArcGIS replaces updating spreadsheets and map graphics separately, which is awesome. It cuts my work time in half. Esri is always expanding what you can do with the software. I have never looked for GIS outside of my workplace though, so do research competitors/companies with GIS services if you're considering using ArcGIS.
Amazing
What do you like best about the product?
The program is easy to use and quick to learn, always developing so there's always something new to learn.
What do you dislike about the product?
The program is the best of it's kind, I have nothing but praise for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping made easy
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely would recommend anyone trying to work in the urban planning field to learn this program thoroughly and well, it would make you very valuable to any company.
Great software for mapmaking
What do you like best about the product?
Comprehensive software for making maps with great customer support
What do you dislike about the product?
The software is great. It can crash at times but support team is responsive to issues
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spatial analysis and mapmaking for customers
This is the GIS standard
What do you like best about the product?
Firstly, the support. No GIS software comes with as much support online, from other users, through esri directly, or in school. This is the software taught in schools, and is what every industry uses. Also, once you have an active account, you have access to the most robust web mapping API on the market. This claim could probably be challenged, but I haven't seen anything that provides such a low barrier to entry that also allows for deep customization through the Java API.
What do you dislike about the product?
The price. This software is not cheap, especially for a small business. Additionally, the newest version, ArcGIS Pro, is still a bit buggy and can lag, but it's getting better. The software isn't necessarily intuitive. I spent several years learning and using it in the university. That being said, ArcGIS Pro is trying to make it more intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use ArcGIS to locate and map client assets that they themselves may not know where it is We also use ArcGIS for content creation for use in a Google Maps environment.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is the standard. I would only recommend something else if you have no money and must have a free GIS software suite. Otherwise, there shouldn't be any question. If you are going to learn GIS, learn the one that every employer is looking for in a GIS analyst.
ArcGIS review
What do you like best about the product?
User interface, pop-up descriptions of tool icons
What do you dislike about the product?
Support in the past several years is less user friendly and accessible. It is not easy to find topics on the older software, and all efforts are directed toward on-line products. Our small rural county does not have resources to employ these products, and there are many, many users out here that are in the same situation. The very helpful forums are obsolete or hidden from access.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GIS does solve problems and answer questions in a less costly manner. We have a limited number of users in our area and their workflow has been improved using desktop ESRI products
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is virtually the only GIS software available. Yes, there are many "free" applications, but industry-wide esri is it. Sharing data, results of analysis and peer support is easier when we are all using a compatible product.
ArcGIS for Conservation Mapping
What do you like best about the product?
I like how there is an online community of people using GIS and solving GIS problems. Between ESRI's help and these threads, I can nearly always figure out how to make Arc GIS work for my project.
What do you dislike about the product?
ArcGIS is a big program and often works with big files. This means it can get slow and bogged down. You can avoid delays by ordering your actions correctly and not putting more on your map than is necessary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using ArcGIS has allowed me to map conservation practices on property's across the state and visually communicate the on the ground work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a class! Learn the basics before jumping in. There can be a learning curve at first, but once you know a little you can do a lot!
ArcGIS is very powerful but costly.
What do you like best about the product?
I like ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online. The new interface of ArcGIS Pro takes a while to get used to but makes a lot more sense and and works more efficiently than ArcMap.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike all the license-locked tools and the inability to export maps into a format such as AI to tune them up in another program. I also find a lot of Esri's solutions to be very expensive. One of the challenges in my company is the ability to efficiently distribute maps that work offline, as we work in many rural areas as well as urban.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently solving spatial analysis issues related to utilities. For example, if someone is digging somewhere, we can decided not to send someone to check the area for underground if our spatial analysis indicates that there's nothing there.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ArcGIS Pro is the best desktop GIS I've used amongst QGIS, MapInfo Pro, Global Mapper, and more.
Great software, if you're willing to pay the price.
What do you like best about the product?
Wide array of processing tools available
What do you dislike about the product?
Extremely high costs for advanced license
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easily and quickly produce and analyze high-quality geographic data. The software allows us to solve an array of geographic problems and is easily shareable with other users and online.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can afford it, this product is the way to go. It is the industry standard and offers far more support than any other GIS software. A standard license for business use is upwards of $7,000 per user, but many companies (including mine) find that this cost is offset by the benefits of this product.
