Daily power user of ArcGIS!
What do you like best about the product?
I love everything about ArcGIS, as I use it coupled with Omega Crimeview to create weekly reports and to extract all sorts of criminal and traffic-related data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product is a bit on the expensive side, but it is the best product available of its kind in my professional opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My agency uses the software in the Crime Analysis Unit and in the Community Relations Unit to create maps, to include: crime maps, traffic incident maps, maps of popular locations, parks, and community centers, as well as route planning maps to assist presidential and other political visiting parties.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want a powerful mapping application with some of the best features around (which are mostly all-inclusive after you buy the product), then ArcGIS is the best there is. Our main city planning offices also use ArcGIS for their needs.

Old reliable
What do you like best about the product?
Arc suite is a great product for manipulating and displaying geospatial data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some limitation and slow processing time
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
GIS analyst
A must have industry standard product
What do you like best about the product?
This is an industry standard product. Sure there are open source options out there but the learning curve is just add high and there aren't as good resources to learn from. Community forums are great.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, inconvenient support of gpx and kml and time series animations are arcane.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Natural resource management analysis at various special scales.
Arc Products
What do you like best about the product?
The best esri product would be ArcMap. It gives me the ability to use and display raster and vector data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the errors that pop up while using Arc Map.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I solved showing multi data types on a single map.
The greatest capabilities meets the slowest speeds and unfriendliest user interface known to man.
What do you like best about the product?
Ability create and edit my own layers and the analyst toolbars are the strongest capabilities in ESRI ArcMap (a program I use the most). The ability to interface with other ESRI programs within one (for example ArcCatalog or ArcGIS online while using ArcMAP) is incredibly convenient. I am also able to easily able to convert and merge ESRI products with other industry programs such as AutoCAD, Google Sketchup, or handheld devices (such as Trimble).
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike how generally slow that ESRI products are when running on a personal computer. Additionally, I find the ESRI website and users guides to be very sparse, or they simply route you back to a page you were previously on. Help and troubleshooting are almost non-existent, which is uprising for such a robust range of products.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using ESRI products to give answers about our community (running queries mainly) as well as being able to track our assets throughout the community.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to learn about the "ad-ons" that come with each program, you usually need them and they are usually expensive.
ArcGIS
What do you like best about the product?
ArcGIS is constantly updating and making the program better for its users. Analysis is becoming easier daily, as is access to more detailed base maps and free data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the software can be picky, such as the requirement to not have any spaces in file names. Sometimes you can work on a process for hours before realizing that you've made a tiny mistake and then it will finally work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use arcgis for local government purposes. Zoning maps, community analysis, and we're just starting to get into 3D modeling.
Powerful Program With Abundnt Features
What do you like best about the product?
The ArcGIS suite of programs is immensely powerful. I like that there are always new features that I am learning about. ArcGIS allows me to efficiently plan field visits and maximize my understanding of the landscapes that I work in.
What do you dislike about the product?
The layout of complicated programs in the ArcGIS suite takes a long time of regular use or intensive training to master.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I regularly use ArcMap to analyze topography of landscapes and plan conservation practices.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Invest time in training for this product.
I use ArcGIS everyday
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are multiple platforms of Arc that I can use and that for the most part everyone I work with understands and knows how to use Arc. Very few employment fields can do the same.
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be too many options or accessories. It is helpful having the tool needed, but it takes 4 or 5 popups to change a color.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have analyzing and providing maps to jurisdictions who are unable to themselves. With ArcGIS they are able to view and edit my maps if needed on their own.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
ArcGIS is basically the standard for GIS use and manipulation
New to GIS but ESRI seems to be the standard.
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to update maps with the latest information from our TV trucks, and integration with other ArcGIS installations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Challenges with integrating assets from other software because of the map standards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing location information of all our gravity lines, laterals, force mains, manholes etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Enhance your Asset Register with GIS information that can be shared with many applications.
