What differentiates Esri ArcGIS from other similar products?

It is the preeminent geospatial data software and has pioneered in the industry. Most people who know how to use GIS software know ArcGIS well.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I am familiar with it, and I am able to create good looking maps that help with my work as an urban planner. I particularly like the ability to run network analysis and make heatmaps with the kernel density feature.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I dislike that Esri has stopped updating ArcMap Desktop in favor of ArcGIS Pro and Online. My organization still uses Desktop and I don't see them switching anytime soon. Desktop seems clunky and dated, and I wish Esri would also make improvements to this software.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Esri knows what they're doing with GIS software. They are the top GIS company for a reason. ArcGIS is well worth it if you are a professional or organization that needs to regularly create maps.

What differentiates Esri ArcGIS from other similar products?

The difference between ArcGis and other free-use products such as QGis is that it is not necessary to know programming and it is more intuitive when it comes to creating graphics. As for geocoding, it is similar to other products.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like Survey123, which is their data collection method.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is difficult to learn if the person does not have training as a geologist or does not have knowledge of data.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I highly recommend the use of its mobile version. It is a solution for loading data and also for not very complex visualizations. It is a good starting point
