Geospatial analyst/graduate student
What do you like best about the product?
This program is incredibly robust and continues to improve with each update. ArcGIS allows the user to complete many analyses and other functions within the program that would have otherwise had to be completed in a separate program with less ease.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some processes can be less than intuitive, but after heavy use and a lot of googling (esri provides a good help forum) the user is typically able to figure it out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mapping, geospatial analysis
i amd a student and a research and all of my work is geographically related
What do you like best about the product?
ease of interoperability between Arc products as well as other products such as excel
What do you dislike about the product?
sometimes I don't know the question to ask as in, the functions are not always named intuitively
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
data analysis, research, the creation of new information, data visualization
I love ArcGIS, it gives me all I need/want for my mapping needs.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the support system that it comes with. Whenever I have an issue with one of the programs, I can always contact an ESRI representative or look through geonet for help.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't quite learned to use ARCGIS Pro which was what ArcGIS is progressing towards. There are still a lot of glitches with this program.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are creating exhibits for oil and pipeline companies to show if the pipeline lies on private and public properties. The benefits to using ArcGIS is that creating exhibits can be a lot quicker on ArcGIS using data driven pages rather than AutoCAD.
ArcGIS makes it easy
What do you like best about the product?
Provides excellent visuals and useful out in the field.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not always intuitive, big learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing exhibits for clients that show visual representations of properties, also showing treatment coverage.
Wonderful world of ArcGIS
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to assist engineering and environmental managers with planning and providing optimum routes for pipeline analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
ArcGIS is so powerful there is an enormous amount of things to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Route analysis, Environmental Impact
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Data Management is key to good GIS.
Industry Standard
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.
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.
Just too expensive, not practical
What do you like best about the product?
The product is easy to learn and use even for beginners. There are wide variety of tools to address many different problems. It is the most widely used Geographic Information System software, hence there are several tutorials and help available online. The large user community is always there to back up questions you may have on different forums, apart from ESRI's own free training materials. Spatial analysis capabilities are top notch. ArcOnline is gaining popularity and the simplicity is attracting more users.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost - not practical from a developing countries' perspective and the high cost nullifies the benefits it provide, when compared to many open source GIS software available today. It is not the best when it comes to analysis satellite imagery. The software is also quite heavy, to run on a old machine with less RAM could be challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Environmental management, disaster management, health and planning
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend to consider open source options first before using ArcGIS
Many spatial options in one (sometimes frustrating) package
What do you like best about the product?
Many easy to find options for analyzing spatial data; great table select features
What do you dislike about the product?
Frequent challenging-to-solve errors; program crashes often
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
(Partially) automating models, analyzing spatial hydrologic raster data
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For large automated processes, consider relying more heavily on python, R, GDAL etc. . Figure out how to automate large numbers of data file downloads (DEM tiles etc.) from government websites. Spend a good quantity of time with the ArcMap before jumping into a project to understand common sources of errors etc., and keep your file storage system very trim and organized in order to reduce errors.
Great GIS software, plus programming possibility using ArcPy
What do you like best about the product?
The graphical interface of ArcGis is user friendly. There are many functions implemented in the software, which are helpful for a lot of fields. I am a Cartographer in the background and I personally like the design interface and the symbols database.
What do you dislike about the product?
The software has issues while handling a lot of data and it usually crashes (at least the version that I use). So I prefer to do processing of big data volumes in other environment.
I would like to have more statistical methods introduced in ArcGis, I think they might be useful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am working in Spatial Crime Analysis for the present time. I use ArcGis for density analysis, regression models, different calculations, mapping and design.
In the past I worked in Remote Sensing and I used ArcGis for mapping satellite imagery.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend ArcGis for having a comprehensive toolbox and an easy mapping design interface.
ArcGIS Experience
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is users friendly. You can analyze data easily and make beautiful maps and reports.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have no dislike with this Software .You get frequently updates if there are any bugs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm in the forest industry and with ArcGIS we can work towards sustainable forestry. We analyze which tree to cut and how to plan the roads and where not to go.
