Two Decades of Geospatial Excellence: A Veteran User's In-Depth Review of Esri ArcGIS

  • April 12, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In my 20-year journey with Esri ArcGIS, I have come to appreciate its robust and versatile capabilities in geoprocessing and GIS data management. The platform's Geo Databases feature has been particularly useful in handling complex spatial data and maintaining the integrity of the information.

ArcGIS offers a wide array of geoprocessing tools that have proven invaluable in streamlining workflows and enhancing the efficiency of my projects. Its seamless integration with various data formats and sources has allowed me to work with diverse datasets and make informed decisions.

The Geo Databases functionality not only provides an organized way to store and manage spatial data but also ensures data consistency and reliability. This has been vital in maintaining the quality and accuracy of my GIS projects over the years.

In summary, Esri ArcGIS has been an indispensable tool in my geospatial endeavors, and its top-notch geoprocessing and data management capabilities have contributed significantly to my success in the field.

Python, which has allowed me to automate my workflows and improve overall efficiency. The built-in Python scripting support, with ArcPy, makes it possible to create custom geoprocessing tools, perform batch processing, and automate repetitive tasks.

This powerful programming language integration has enabled me to develop and implement advanced geospatial analysis techniques, streamline data processing, and create custom scripts that are tailored to the specific needs of my projects. Additionally, the extensive Python community and available resources have proven invaluable in expanding my knowledge and finding solutions to complex GIS challenges.

The Python integration in Esri ArcGIS has been a game-changer for my GIS work, offering the flexibility to automate tasks and develop custom solutions that elevate the platform's geoprocessing and data management capabilities even further.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Esri ArcGIS has been an essential tool for my GIS work over the years, there are a couple of aspects that I find less favorable. My primary concern is the cost associated with using the platform. The licensing fees can be quite steep, especially for small businesses or individual users who might not have the budget to accommodate the expense. This can make it challenging for some users to access the platform's full range of features and capabilities.

Another drawback of Esri ArcGIS is the relatively long learning curve that comes with mastering the software. For new users or those transitioning from other GIS platforms, the sheer number of tools and options can be overwhelming. Additionally, the interface has evolved over time, which may pose challenges for users who are familiar with older versions of the software. While the availability of extensive documentation, tutorials, and online resources can help ease the learning process, it still requires a significant investment of time and effort to become proficient in ArcGIS.

In summary, despite the many advantages offered by Esri ArcGIS, the high cost of entry and steep learning curve can be limiting factors for some users, making it important to weigh the benefits against these drawbacks when considering this platform for GIS work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Esri ArcGIS has played a crucial role in solving a variety of geoprocessing problems in my work, particularly those related to transportation and road maintenance. By utilizing the platform's comprehensive suite of tools, I have been able to analyze spatial data, model complex relationships, and develop effective strategies for managing infrastructure.

One notable achievement I am particularly proud of is the development of a Python script using ArcGIS to generate land parcel plans for Sri Lanka. This project was challenging due to the limited data available, but with the robust capabilities of ArcGIS and the flexibility of Python, I was able to overcome these constraints and create a solution that met the needs of the Department of Survey. This script has been in use for years, streamlining the land parcel planning process and contributing to improved land management practices in Sri Lanka.

The benefits of using Esri ArcGIS in my work are numerous. The platform has enabled me to tackle complex geospatial problems with ease, optimize transportation and road maintenance strategies, and make data-driven decisions that have a lasting impact. The successful implementation of the land parcel planning script for Sri Lanka is just one example of how ArcGIS has empowered me to address challenges in the geospatial field and make a tangible difference in the world.

Premium GIS software

  • February 26, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
ESRI ArcGIS has a history of over 50 years in the GIS sector, and with that experience, it has become the leader in this sector. I like the easy-to-understand mapping interface in ArcMap, the vast collection of tools in ArcToolbox, the sophisticated database management and query system etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Firstly, it is costly software for enterprise use; secondly, to buy each software extension, you again need to pay, and I find the Image analysis and data interoperability less legible to find out for a new user. Other than the high pricing, ArcGIS excel in every aspect as a GIS tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ArcGIS helps in mapping the GIS data collected from the field, analyzing spatial data, data management, joining spatial databases, static mapping and visualization of data etc.
