Sobre ArcGIS
Colección integrada de productos de software GIS; proporciona una plataforma basada en estándares para análisis espacial, gestión de datos y mapeo.
Arcgis also functions very greatly in that it integrates very well with other software like google earth.
ArcGIS is prone to crashes and does not do a good job explaining the errors. Often the crash is a result of low memory, but this is not fully identified by the software.

Standard GIS software
Comentarios: It plots customer information by area on the map and develops marketing strategies for each area. It is welcome that the picture of delivery and sales activities has arrived in the spring just by being able to visualize it on a map. It has functions that can be said to be indispensable and complementary services.
Puntos a favor:
I find it attractive that you can create detailed maps and easily import and export GI data. We use it for regional marketing and product delivery optimization. GIS engine with the largest market share in the world. ArcGIS Desktop is a product that specializes in performing relatively advanced analysis on a PC and maintaining GIS data. Customization is also possible so that you can use it according to your business.
Puntos en contra:
The key thing is that the program is pretty heavy in that it can create detailed data. It's hard to move freely, depending on the PC specs. I think there is a trade-off between performance and dose, so I can't say I have to, but if I can move it a little more lightly, I have no complaints.

I use ArcMap daily, but almost always as a part of my overall editing flow.
Comentarios: It makes the start of very pretty maps, sometimes. I almost always generate base layers here, and then export them into illustrator/photoshop to do actual final renders.
Puntos a favor:
The styling guides are better than any other options out there - once you can learn to navigate the byzantine menus. I've used QGIS, Globalmapper, AutoCad, and Microstation, and maps just look better in ArcMap than in any others -it's made for creating display mapping. I know that there are other programmatic things you can do, but for my workflow, I use it almost exclusively for building maps for display.
Puntos en contra:
The menus are silly that you have to go that far down a rabbit hole, processing is a nightmare (especially with messy geometry), and I used to (until I quit trying altogether) find myself trying a processing task in ArcMap, watching it fail, and then trying it again in GlobalMapper/QGIS and it would do fine. Processing is a very weak point in ArcMap, at least from my perspective.

A Comprehensive ArcGIS Software Review
Comentarios: I always use ArcGIS for several business applications. I have used it to understand and visualize demographics for a better understanding of my market. I have also used it for suitability analysis for different applications for my businesses. I have used it to designate optimal routes for plying. Generally, ArcGIS has been so helpful in my businesses.
Puntos a favor:
ArcGIS is an effective tool for organizing and analysing spatial data, and it provides a variety of features that can be helpful in a variety of applications. Data management, mapping and visualization, spatial analysis, geocoding and routing, 3D visualization, collaboration and sharing, and mobile GIS are some of ArcGIS's best features. Shape files, geodatabases, CAD files, and other types of spatial data can all be managed with ArcGIS's extensive toolkit. ArcGIS makes it simple to import, export, edit, and organize your data. You can produce stunning maps and visualizations with ArcGIS that effectively convey complex spatial information. You can either make your own unique map design or select from a range of pre-made maps and patterns. GIS requires special training in order to handle related queries hence using ArcGIS requires professional training or tutorials in order for users to understand most of its features. The integration features of ArcGIS give users a variety of choices for integrating geospatial data and maps into existing applications. Using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript, ArcGIS may be integrated into other programs, such as online and mobile applications. Using add-ons, ArcGIS can be connected to other programs. For instance, Tableau with the ArcGIS Maps for Tableau add-on, Microsoft Office programs like Excel and PowerPoint, and other programming languages like Python allow developers to automate geospatial workflows and analysis using Python scripts.
Puntos en contra:
ArcGIS has a number of difficulties. The major challenge is its complexity. ArcGIS is a very robust software, and because of this, it is difficult to grasp and use for different applications. In most cases, tutorials are required to familiarize yourself with most features. Secondly, ArcGIS software is expensive, especially for lone users or small businesses. Even the most basic software version can cost a lot of money. Another challenge arises when working with huge datasets or intricate projects with ArcGIS. Partly due to hardware limitations, it is slow or ineffective as far as performance is concerned. When attempting to finish time-sensitive jobs, this can be especially difficult.Lack of support for certain data formats has also proved challenging which consequently makes it hard to share some data with others who might be using other GIS software as well as integration with some other applications and software. Lastly, some of the factory GIS algorithms used in certain features in ArcGIS have become outdated. More advances and robust algorithms have been developed by other developers as stand alone programs.

ArcGIS is still GIS Top Dog if you don't care that it's not open source
Comentarios: However, despite these drawbacks, I remain optimistic about ArcGIS's potential. With its continuous updates and improvements, I am confident that ArcGIS will continue to be a valuable tool for GIS professionals. Overall, I would recommend ArcGIS to any GIS professional, whether they are working in environmental science, urban planning, natural resource management, national defense etc. GIS as a field has exploded in the past decade. Esri’s ArcGIS has always had a bit of a monopoly in the field, and are only now experiencing a higher level of competition. Depending on your use case, see if any free and open source GIS options can suffice for your needs. There are many other good options out there, but ArcGIS still holds the crown for many things in particular like its Cartographic suite which allows you to truly make a fully fledged Map as a product as opposed to a simple diagram.
Puntos a favor:
As a seasoned ArcGIS user, I can attest that this GIS software has been an invaluable asset throughout my career. ArcGIS's comprehensive suite of tools and intuitive user interface enables me to create visually stunning maps and perform complex spatial analyses (it even elevates power users who opt to do their work without needing to learn Python (although I recommend learning Python for ArcGIS and in general)). They have a gigantic suite of built in tools to do 90% of any Geospatial analysis you can think of. And if it doesn’t exist outright, you can always stitch the built in operations together in a novel way to reach your desired result. Don't forget about the beautifully integrated and powerful Cartographic attributes of ArcGIS as well, which is one thing that truly makes it stand out from more basic mapping products. I also appreciate its ability to easily share my work with stakeholders in various formats, which has been instrumental in my work in the field of GIS. Regarding customer service, Esri provides excellent resources and customer support, which enhances the value of using ArcGIS.
Puntos en contra:
Despite the numerous benefits of ArcGIS, I have also encountered some negative experiences. Namely cost and inability to process data in parallel. This software can be prone to crashes when working with large datasets that are truly large (i.e. millions of rows), which can be frustrating. You may need to turn to open source GIS options like Apache Sedona who are built on top of Apache Spark. Additionally, ArcGIS can be expensive, making it difficult for smaller organizations or individuals to access the full range of capabilities it offers.

ArcGIS for Surveying
Comentarios: Best GIS software available
Puntos a favor:
Interfaces with GPS units for easy data collection and importing. Online maps enable you to see what is being collected in near real-time. Near infinite options on how to present and display data.
Puntos en contra:
Cannot interface with total station for data collection (from what I can tell). Occasional software crash with no auto-save.

Beginner Friendly
Comentarios: My overall experience with ArcGIS has been very positive. I've implemented it within several community projects and with middle school students for several years.
Puntos a favor:
ArcGIS has many great functions, even for new GIS users. I was able to start mapping immediately and use some really great tools such as Survey123. The user interfaces make the software easy to learn but it also has plenty of technical features for more advanced users.
Puntos en contra:
ArcGIS has many different components and can feel overwhelming at first. The sheer number of options on the web mapping can be confusing but a quick google search is usually helpful in figuring those out.

GIS and what are the benefits of ARCGIS-ESRI suite of Tools
Comentarios: Amazing Worked for companies in India, USA, then back for Government clients in India, Oman, Dubai, europe and likewise. All the best with your search for a good GIS software.
Puntos a favor:
ESRI, Thank you since 1980s, ESRI has been a terrific performer, in Geospatial, Geotechnical, Geology, Government, Utilities, Transportation and Logistics, IT enablement. 1. ESRI is a high-end solutions and capabilities provider, their software can handle all kinds of requirements in LBS, Spatial Statistics, Data mining with GIS, Market Research with GIS, Geodatabases and likewise. 2. Pros in Information Technology world are primarily ArcPy, GIS consulting solutions for IT companies, main competitors Hexgon, General electric and others like IDRSI, ERDAS, SICAD, Transcad, Open gis platforms like Quantum GIS are weak and not customer specific. 3. Return on Investment, ROI from ArcGIS, ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcToolbox, ArcLogistics and solutions is good. Customization is excellent, their data models and work is exemplary in GIS world. 4. Licensing for Govt, Utilities, others is pricy as one would expect, but what can one do, customer support is good. Licensing is a major con. 5. GIS from ESRI-America is the dream for the Geographers, Engineers and other geospatial professionals to work with. ESRI internships all around the world. Also, it is used by Planners, Urban etc.
Puntos en contra:
Major Con: 1. ESRI is offering startups a free licensing for using it for GIS startups for one year. not enough. 2. Major con is license and training cost for young graduates around the world.

This GIS has not comparison
Puntos a favor:
We are in front of the best GIS in the market ARCgis do anything you want to do in special analysis. With this software you can build maps, editaed, analyze raster data, make models, 3d models, terrain models, simulations, Geodesign, and so many other things. This software has incorporated the biggest data of datum and coordinates system of the world, you can virtually use ARCgis in any part of the world, and with great precision. Since the version 9.3 ESRI has incorporated the Imagery tool, that it is a layer that with internet connection allows you to have satellite images of any location of the world, it is very useful to analyze change in the enviroment and urbanization changes. ARCgis has everything, virtually everything that a people who work with maps needs, does not have comparison.
Puntos en contra:
The main limitation of ARCgis it is the cost, it is a very expensive software that a little company or businees cannot afford. This a very useful tool but the cost does not allows to some people uses their potential for the spatial analysis. In some countries they offer educational licenses who help the students to know the software and work with some tools, this can be palliative for all that people who wants to work with the software but cannot afford.

Impactful for geospatial operations and cartography
Comentarios: Overall experience has been great- as I have been using this software for more than 2 years now. It is one of the leading software in the GIS industry as of today and is surely going to reach heights with its new feature releases every year. Comes really handy for both coders and non- coders as it has its own built in python modules and packages which can be used inside ( through built in tools/ python window) or outside the app using independent python IDEs.
Puntos a favor:
Wide variety of tools available for spatial analysis and mapping - with minimum fuss as help is available for each tool. They also have a variety of license options available which can be customized based on your needs.
Puntos en contra:
Customer service is only available if you have maintenance license (with ArcGIS desktop)- that needs to be renewed each year. It makes the overall cost of the software high, making it difficult for small to medium businesses to have this at their disposal.

Esri's Arc Products are Essential Tools for Spatial Analysis
Comentarios: I have formal training in Geography and advanced GIS uses, so ArcGIS has been an essential tool for spatial analysis and spatial database creation.
Puntos a favor:
I appreciate the flexibility and thoughtfulness of the software's design. There is almost always more than one way to accomplish a task in Arc products and suggestions for improvement are often met with modifications to the products to maintain their usefulness. The product is pretty much self-contained but there are patches and programs to customize the software. It also allows users to program routines to facilitate repetitive work. It also uses Python and Visual Basic, which allow users to write their own routines.
Puntos en contra:
The price of this software can be prohibitive, particularly if users are looking for a full suite of services. Many of the functions are not intuitive and require a long ramp up time. The program crashes more than others on my computer.

Can't Live Without It
Puntos a favor:
Unparalled mapping features. Without a doubt if someone needs to create a map, I'll suggest ESRI. The platform allows analysis of data, different data projections, and gives the user a lot of freedom if they can write scripts. I'm just a regular, simple user who has built maps and analyzed spatial data. The tools that can be used for analysis are among the best and as far as I know, unavailable elsewhere. ESRI has truly built an empire in spatial analysis,
Puntos en contra:
Over the years, ArcGIS has become much more intuitive to use. The availability of spatial data, free or not, has become huge, The biggest problems I have now are the size of the program -- it takes forever to load...well, maybe 5 minutes (it's networked). The other problem I have is in understanding how to do things. There is a Help file, but I've found Google search engines far more helpful. The good news? ESRI has been around so long and lots of people know it so well, answers to common questions can be easily found.
