ArcGIS Review

Comments: Amazing Software!

Pros:

ArcGIS is the to-go software for all your mapping needs. I have run geoprocessing projects using ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Online, and the latest ArcGIS Pro. There are various unique features you can use ArcGIS to get the best results possible for your project. These include data collection, data management, remote sensing, geocoding, spatial analysis, spatial statistics, mapping, visualization in 3D, and cartographical work, to name but a few. It's super friendly for both beginners and pros.

Cons:

Even though the software is not open source and may not be affordable to an individual, you could acquire its license through organizational affiliation and enjoy its excellent capabilities.

Comments: Extremely positive

Pros:

Just like any product, you need to take time to learn how to use it but it’s one of the best products I’ve ever used.

Cons:

In between jobs, I wasn’t using this product so when I starting using again there was a big upgrade so I almost had to relearn how to use it.

ArcGis Pro Review

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: As a part of my college project in GIS, I used the ArcGis tool and explored a lot of features. I had done my final year project with the help of this tool. The ArcGis tool made my work easy by processing at pixel level by a single click.

Pros:

Easy to use and understand even for a new userEasy to understand variety of options as detailed information is provided for every option in every tool in the form of I-buttonIt does 64-bit processingIt also provides the corresponding python code so that we can use that code and develop required programsThe tools are segregated in a clear and easily understood manner.Easy shapefile and layer files creation.

Cons:

No easy and user-friendly interface to manage all the files.High cost for license, [If you need it for les than 30 days free trail is available, else you have to purchase it.]Lot of unnecessary files will be saved at time of exporting.The size of the output folder will be too large
